What is a Catholic baptism for?

Question

If I were baptised, would it clean me of all my previous sins?

Answer 1

Yes.

In Mark 16:16, Jesus says, "Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved."

Acts 2:38 states: Peter (said) to them, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the holy Spirit.

Acts 22:16 states: Now, why delay? Get up and have yourself baptized and your sins washed away, calling upon his name.

John 3:5 states: Jesus answered, "Amen, amen, I say to you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit.

These are only a few of the scriptures that state that Christian Baptism forgives all sin which would include the effects of original sin.

With love in Christ.

Answer 2

I will make them a church of Satan for they say they are Jews and are not they do lie.

They sprinkle water on a baby head, at 8 days old they circumcise male children, they do not believe in reincarnation, they pray for the dead, you must confess you sin to the priest, and are to say repetitious pray

These are all things that Jews do and Jesus told not to do, but the Catholic Church does as they will , not as God the Father has commanded them to.

For they seek a nation and riches, they worship Satan.

Answer 3

Catholic baptism, as well as other Christian bapism, absolves your original sins. The sins of Adam and Eve.
