I READ FROM CATHOLIC BOOKS ABOUT TRUE MODE OF BAPTISM, BUT WHY THEY LEFT THE TRUTH IN PRACTICE?
CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH
III. THE MYSTERIES OF JESUS' PUBLIC LIFE
537 Through Baptism the Christian is sacramentally assimilated to Jesus, who in his own baptism anticipates his death and resurrection. the Christian must enter into this mystery of humble self-abasement and repentance, go down into the water with Jesus in order to rise with him, be reborn of water and the Spirit so as to become the Father's beloved son in the Son and "walk in newness of life":238
Let us be buried with Christ by Baptism to rise with him; let us go down with him to be raised with him; and let us rise with him to be glorified with him.239
Everything that happened to Christ lets us know that, after the bath of water, the Holy Spirit swoops down upon us from high heaven and that, adopted by the Father's voice, we become sons of God.240
Article 1 THE SACRAMENT OF BAPTISM
I. What is This Sacrament Called?
1214 This sacrament is called Baptism, after the central rite by which it is carried out: to baptize (Greek baptizein) means to "plunge" or "immerse"; the "plunge" into the water symbolizes the catechumen's
burial into Christ's death, from which he rises up by resurrection with him, as "a new creature."6
