Baptism: When we are baptized in water, it symbolizes our desire to be immersed completely into “divine nature.” That we might become like Christ in character and attribute and become a true son or daughter of God again! I say “again” because we all became sons and daughters of God in our first estate by this very process, but have forgotten. This is the whole meaning of the spirit of Elijah, in turning the “hearts of the Fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse” (D&C 128: 17). The “heart” is the scriptural symbol of “divine nature.” Hence baptism always implies a complete immersion into several elements that will lead us to god/God. From a mortal perspective, the first “element” is mortal birth (the womb of water) all men and women who have been born into mortality have been completely immersed in a womb of water, thus “born of water,” fulfilling the scripture [John 3:5]. The second baptism is spiritual, to be “born of the Spirit,” [John 3:6,8] which is to be baptized in “divine nature” or “born of god/God/godliness.” Hence to be “born of God” is the scriptural symbol for being immersed into “divine nature” in thought and in the words, we use, and thus our actions should be a manifestation of pure godliness if we are truly “born of God.” Every person has the potential to do this regardless of race, religion or bloodline. “For man is spirit [we are spiritual beings]. The elements [physical and spiritual] are eternal, and spirit and element, inseparably connected, receive a fulness of joy; And when separated, [from godliness] man cannot receive a fulness of joy. The elements [our spirit body and physical bodies] are the tabernacle of God; yea, man is the tabernacle of [god]God, even temples; and whatsoever temple is defiled [through a fallen and carnal nature], God shall destroy that temple,” [meaning, the “god/God” potential in man cannot be fulfilled when man or woman has “defiled” their temple body]. (Doctrine and Covenants | Section 93:33 – 35). Repentance & forgiveness [which is the divine attribute of mercy is the only way back].
