MR 5.A Analysis on the Pentecost

This article relates to our courses because its main focus is that baptism is neccessary to get the grace from the Resurrection. Although Baptism by water is the most common form of baptism, other forms exist like the baptism by blood, which occures when a non Christianity dies for Christianity. The other form of Baptism is the Baptism of desire, which means you are able to participate in God's grace if you have a deep longing for it. Another way of Baptism, through God's mercy, is the saving of infants who haven't been baptised, because the cannot make knowledgable descisions for themselves. Baptism removes the stain of Original sin, meaning we can be saved and enter heaven. However, it does not remove concupisense, the inclination to sin. All of this ties into the Pentecost because the Apostles encountered a different kind of baptism, that of fire, which is a symbol of the Holy Spirit,, meaning the Holy Spirit was present at the Pentecost. The flames of the will of God inspired them to go out and make disciples of all nations, which they did, baptising thousands on that very day. All of these are related to our chapters and lectures. 

This is an analysis because I go in to why we don't need water for baptism, we only need the will to be Baptised. I explain why infants can be saved even though they don't have the ability to make descisions for themselves. I also explain how the Holy Spirit was at Pentecost. All of these make this blog an analysis on why this article on the necessity of baptism ad how it pertains to our coursework.
