So, when exactly the catechumen will receive the Holy Spirit (when God will perform the Sacrament of Baptism with the Holy Spirit) is a divine mystery known only to God and to those to whom God reveals it through the Holy Spirit (announcing the readiness of the catechumen for conception from God). The Church does not inquire about the times and dates but diligently cares for the orthodox catechism of the catechumen. No one rushes, for whoever competes unlawfully will not receive the crown; that is, no Sacrament will be performed over him by the Lord! God is Love, so He will never give the Holy Spirit to the unprepared because He loves everyone and considers only what is beneficial for each! If a person is not baptized in the second phase, there is nothing terrible, they will be baptized in the third phase. The main thing is to be ready, to prepare! Therefore, the Church helps the catechumens to know their hell-destruction and teaches them: keep your mind in hell and await resurrection from this hell-self-egoism! God is Love, so the Holy Spirit will not delay for a moment to baptize you if you are ready! God is Love! Therefore, do not deceive yourselves with formalities, priestly magical godless rites of sacraments – all this leads to judgment and condemnation, to the destruction of soul and body, to diabolical deception! But who today wants to hear the Word of God, the Truth! The main thing is to baptize, to commune, to wed, to sanctify… – it is a complete disaster – paganism, magic, godlessness! No one asks God about anything – for such people, God is dead (but Christians testify that Christ is Risen and is with them (Christians) in the Holy Spirit forever, and that in the Eucharist they have the closest bodily, intimate, marital- friendly communion with Christ in the Holy Spirit! But why do you listen to those Christians – they are “heretics,” madmen, not patriots, mentally ill, possessed, weak-minded! Listen to what the patriarchs, synods, synedria, synagogue departments, doctors of “theology,” professors tell you – see, for example, the heretical blasphemy of the professors of KPBA, the deeds-resolutions and Satanism of the members of the synedrion and the faithful of the synagogue)! Here (in the Orthodox churches), everything is decided by priests and money (and the SBU, FSB, KGB, etc.)! He who has ears to hear, let him understand! Modern Orthodox autocephalous churches (“Christians”) are in fact independent of God (and from each other – each is for himself, each is by himself!?), autocephalous, self-governing (godless), free from God, god-willed! By their fruits, you will know them!
To become a Christian, to be conceived by God, to receive the seed of the Holy Spirit into the womb of the Hypostasis-Heart, one needs to enter a state of readiness to say with all one’s being, all one’s consciousness-responsibility: “I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to Your word” (see Lk. 1:38); “I am a voluntary servant, ready to do all the will of God” (we emphasize the word “servant,” because a hireling chooses, at least this state implies a choice: I will do this, but I will not do that, I will wait for another job, something better or easier and more convenient to appear…)! The Lord performs the Sacrament of Marriage with a person only when they are humble – voluntarily, consciously giving themselves entirely to the Bridegroom Christ! (Otherwise, it would be fornication! And God cannot fornicate. The fornicator will not inherit the Kingdom of God (the Holy Spirit). Fornication is taking for oneself, not giving oneself to Another, it is using Another for one’s own purposes! God (Freedom and Truth) cannot be used, one can (and must) only give oneself to God!). The catechism continues until the person is ready to give themselves to Christ (like the Mother of God and all Christians, that is, to Christ Himself)! And only then does the person receive the pledge of the Kingdom of God – the seed of the Holy Spirit! And to humble oneself, one must obediently, sincerely know and fulfill all the will of God, all His commandments! Therefore, catechism is not a theoretical (lecture) matter, but primarily a practical activity. Yes, to act correctly, salvifically, appropriately, one must understand correctly, orthodoxly; but theoretical, theological understanding is only a service part (1%), and the most important part (99%) of catechism is active obedience to the will of God, fulfilling the commandments of God understood by the mind. Then the heart humbles, breaks, and becomes capable (like good soil – see Lk. 8:8, 15) of receiving the seed of the Holy Spirit and bearing fruit a hundredfold! Without preparing the soil-heart, nothing good will grow. Let us not deceive ourselves! One must prepare for everything: for surgery, exams, marriage, sowing (a wise sower will not sow on the road, or among thorns, or on stones – all the more the All-Wise Lord!), for the Olympics, for war… But most of all and most carefully – for Baptism, for Marriage, for the Last Judgment in Eternal Life!
