摘要：Introduction
Baptism is as old as the Church itself1 and vehicles a sacramental grace
to the participant: a grace that affects a spiritual—indeed initiatic—
death and rebirth in Christ. The liturgical rites of baptism declare and
expound the nature and workings of this grace and in doing so vehicles
the saving gnosis that is the noetic complement of the volitive
sacramental grace.2 Essentially, the sacrament is the acceptance by the
participant of the grace that is offered through the salvific economy of
Christ.
