PRESENTATION
What does it mean to be a baptised member of the church?
Baptism is often reffered as the door of the church because it is the first of the seven sacramens. Once a person is baptised, s/he becomes a member of the Church. This can be seen inn the teaching of christ himself, he told his disciples to baptise those who accept the gospel.
Jesus Christ insisted that baptism was necessary for salvation. John 3:1-5 says :"Amen, amen I say to thee, unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God."
So being baptised is like a mark of being a christian and a mark of being a person who accept the teaching of Christ. as far I understand John 3:1-5, it means that a baptised member of the church is brought into new life in Christ. being baptised it is like being given a passport which enable you to enter the kingdom of God and being recognised as a citizen of the kingdom. for me, I think a baptised member of the church is an person who has an active part in the body of christ and the one who is there to help the other and as well follow and put in pratice the word of God.
A personal reflection and evaluation on your parish involvement and social awareness work.
Parish Iinvolvement
My parish involvement was a good experience for me. i found it really good and interresting. i have done many different work for my parish involvement. for example i helped in my local parish like clean prayer room, help the parish in many ways. i was part of the group of people who organised a live crib during christmas time in the town so everyone could just come in with they children to have a visit and we would explain to them what is happening and tell them the story of jesus and son
