(IV) 8.Wicked and lazy servant!

Heretics derive their heresies, justifying the baptism of children, with various fantasies: they claim that baptism in the New Testament is supposedly the same as circumcision in the Old Testament (but infants (male!) were circumcised on the eighth day! What about girls?!) or cite the words from Scripture: “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven” and so on. I will not now cite all the “arguments” and fantasies of heretics (who know neither the Scriptures nor the Power of God!!!), but I will say only a few words about “children, of such is the Kingdom of Heaven” and about baptism in the context of these words (about the Old and New Testaments – Law and Grace, Shadow and Reality, which casts this shadow; these Testaments (Old and Unprecedented, Uniquely New: “eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man what is New Testament, the Testament of the Holy Spirit, the Kingdom of Heaven, the deification of man by the Holy Spirit”) differ from each other as flesh from Spirit, as far apart as Heaven from earth, – we discussed this in detail in Part III, exposing the heresies of current heretics! As for circumcision and baptism, we have already said above: not he who is outwardly circumcised in the flesh is a Jew…). So, “become like children, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven,” “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them.” About “become like children,” what these words of Scripture point to we discussed in detail in Part III (see note 68, pp. 478-482). And now we will talk about children (infants, unconscious) and their baptism. So, children (infants, unconscious) are innocent, pure – but sinful (fleshly, old testament, children of this age, not of the Kingdom of God, which they are born into consciously, voluntarily, in the Holy Spirit, and not unconsciously, involuntarily, where (in biological conception and birth) nothing depends on the infant – it was conceived and born without its will and desire; and how many “accidental” children, unplanned, about whom no one had any thought (children who were not yet there, wanted nothing (and could not want – they were not yet there) and no one wanted them except God), and how many unwanted children are mercilessly killed in the womb?! Here, in the future child, there is no choice, no possibility to determine itself freely… No one asks: do you want to live or not?! But into the Kingdom of God, into the Church enter only those who CONSCIOUSLY, FREELY WANT to belong only to JESUS CHRIST, to be with Him in everything one – in the Cross of this world, in the crucifixion death, and in the Glory of the Resurrection!!! So, biological birth (from non-being into being – into this world, which lies in evil) is involuntary, unconscious, slavish, and Spiritual birth (from “non-being,” the death of this world into Eternal Life, into Divine Love, Freedom, and Catholic Consciousness) – only conscious! only free! “Yes” to Christ!!!), not holy, not Christians!!! How the acquisition of catholic consciousness by the created hypostasis occurs in Phase III (if it did not have time here, in earthly life, to be baptized in the Church by the Holy Spirit) – this is the mystery of the Wisdom and Love of God the Father-Love! Those who have passed into Phase III (died to existence in this world and passed into the afterlife), being children, unconscious, at the Last Judgment will be justified (their conscience is pure), because they will not be able to condemn themselves (they did not judge-condemn anyone – they will not be judged (the judge at the Last Judgment is everyone himself – see detailed below); they forgave everyone – they will be forgiven; they do not count on anything, do not claim anything (no merits, no good deeds feel behind them) – therefore they will be pardoned, gifted with the Kingdom of God, will enter the fullness of Divine Being by Grace, will be deified) – will be baptized by the Holy Spirit (because the Last Judgment is a crisis: to accept the Holy Spirit, to enter the Kingdom of God or to blaspheme the Spirit of God and reject the Gift of Salvation, the Kingdom of God; to accept God’s invitation to enter Life, Resurrection or choose their own hell-hell of self-egoism-pride)! (But “Christians” are in a hurry to baptize infants, lest they die unbaptized!? As they believe (heretically) – so they act (in the spirit of the antichrist)!). But now (in Phase II) children are not in the Kingdom of God(!); theirs (children’s) is the Kingdom of Heaven (they have already been given the Kingdom of God (this is their “property”), bequeathed by the Heavenly Father), but they must grow up (reach spiritual – conscious, responsible – maturity) to enter into possession of the inheritance, gift, Kingdom of God (to preserve and multiply childishness (become like children) and acquire the mind of Christ – catholic, hypostatic, all-encompassing consciousness) – they must become Christians, Christ’s!!! In Phase II, only those who BELIEVE in Christ and are baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ (= the Holy Trinity) will be saved, accept the Holy Spirit (the Kingdom of God), that is, give themselves up.
