Baptism (from Greekβαπτίζειν baptízein "to immerse, to submerge") is a Christian sacrament by which the person being baptised, who is poured over or submerged in water, enters the Christian community. Baptism goes back to the water trial of the ancient mysteries. Through immersion, the mystery student was brought close to drowning, which loosened the etheric body and made possible a review of the life panorama of the previous life on earth, as it can normally only be experienced immediately after death.
