Your mention of us coming here to Earth, "cleansed through the baptism of birth" is interesting to me. I'm trying to understand baptism and the other night while studying the topic, I stumbled upon an interpretation of Christ's words that I had never heard before. That when Christ said we must be born of water and the Spirit to enter God's Kingdom, he was saying we must be born physically and then Spiritually. That baptism by water is our physical birth. As a life long member of the church, who has been asleep her whole life and just accepted the interpretations of scripture I've been given, I've honestly never looked further than the idea that Jesus said get baptized and he did it, so we do it.

Eben, what great questions; is birth a baptism? Yes! Is baptism by water a sign, too? Yes! Do we become innocent upon rebirth? Yes! Is resurrection a rebirth? Yes! See how excited I am getting? I would encourage you to read my Parable of the Crossing, found at the end of "Discerning the Signs and Anti-Signs, Part 12":
