Baptism is The First of Seven “keys to The Kingdom of Heaven”.
~
Question 1: “How did Jesus Christ Speak The Catholic Sacraments into Being?”
Answer: “Heb 8:6-13 tells us! ‘Brothers and sisters: Now our high priest has obtained so much more excellent a ministry as He is Mediator of a better covenant, enacted on better promises.’
Our ‘better promises’ come from The One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church our ‘Mediator’ Spoke Into Being with His Word!
‘And I say unto you, thou art Peter and on this rock I build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I give you the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.’”
~
Question 2: “Do those ‘keys’ of His ‘better covenant’ include The Catholic Sacraments?”
Answer: “Yes. Christ’s ‘keys to The Kingdom of Heaven’ include Baptism, Confirmation, Communion, Reconciliation, Anointing of the Sick, Matrimony, and Holy Orders.”
~
Question 3: “What if we reject The Power of Jesus to Speak His ‘keys to The Kingdom of Heaven’ into being?”
Answer: “We cannot have what we reject!”
~
Question 4: “Most Christians do believe in The Sacrament of Baptism. Is that enough to get their souls into Heaven?”
Answer: “It’s a beginning. Baptism is ‘Key #1’!”
~
Question 5: “Is ‘Key #1’ enough?”
Answer: “Not if it is knowingly and willfully used as an excuse to reject the other six ‘keys to The Kingdom of Heaven’.”
~
Question 6: “What about souls who refuse to receive The Body and Blood of Jesus Christ in Communion provided by a Catholic priest who has received the Power to Preside over The Miracle of Transubstantiation given to those who have received Holy Orders?”
Answer: “If their rejection is both knowing and willful, they have ignored The Call to Catholic Communion that Jesus repeated 14 times: ‘If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood you do not have life in you.’
It is never wise to ignore Any Teaching of Jesus, especially One that He repeats so often!”
. Catholics obey This Word from our “Mediator”! “If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood you do not have life in you.”
