Baptism

Experience Renewal in Body, Mind, and Spirit

Baptism at CLM

Baptism often supercharges one’s conviction on the spiritual path, and in time, grows one in Christ Consciousness. The majority of people who request Baptism notice and experience robust transformation and renewal of body, mind, and spirit. We welcome any person of any faith to consider this opportunity for growth.

 

In CLM, there are two types of Baptism…

Baptized in the Holy Spirit

This is an energy transmission of The Holy Spirit for one who wants a deeper relationship with their sacred center, with The Holy Spirit, and by opening into a deeper conversation with The Presence.

Baptism into Jesus

This Baptism is for the person who feels called to transform their relationship to self, with the world, and to be reborn and renewed through the washing of all that is not in service to Christ Consciousness.

Testimonies

“At 60 years old, I was baptized at CLM. As I child they wanted to baptize me, but I said no. I had been skeptical of organized religion because I saw both hypocrisy and greed. But at CLM, I felt only love. During the ceremony, I was shaking and crying. I did not expect it to be so powerful and profound. Having a supportive and loving community where I can open my heart more to God is a blessing.”

Robert Styler, San Diego

“Taking the vow to shed myself and embody my Christ Light in front of the community was one of the most sacred (if not the most!) experiences I have ever had. That night I crossed a threshold and felt something had been installed within my heart. Since then there has been a physical sensation of being held from the inside in a way that is new to me. I have a deeper understanding of my purpose and service. Overall I feel a coming home and a big sense of relief –like I have more permission to be who I am in God. Everything around me seems clearer and simpler.”

Chalita Photikoe

“My experience with CLM is nothing short of miraculous. My Baptism was incredible with the healing I felt as soon as I took the step. I knew I would never be the same. I felt a healing on deep cellular levels and a heart opening I cannot explain other than it was the hand of God. It is such a beautiful experience and one I keep experience as more members of the community take this beautiful step. “

Ali Denton
“There’s something fantastically ordinary about receiving baptism and being witnessed by the CLM community. What I love about my experience was how natural, embodied, and uncomplicated the entire process was… I find myself playfully basking in stillness knowing I’m held and loved as I wobble and wiggle my way. ”

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I do if I want to get Baptized?

If you know you want Baptism then writing to Padre Paul, or speaking with him directly and sharing your heart, is the first step. If one of the Bishops notices that Baptism might be a good step to consider for your growth and to support you spiritually at this juncture in your journey, then a conversation will happen to discuss this possibility.

How should I prepare?
When there is an agreement that Baptism is your next step, then the type of Baptism will be decided. You will then work with one of the Baptism Clergy to help you prepare. All needed instructions, and expectations will be clearly presented through direct communication, written content, and a video.
Why do people getting Baptized dress in white?
Baptism is held as a sacrament within most Holy Assembly’s and congregations. CLM does adhere to this understanding and practice. However, not everyone helping with Baptism will be wearing all white. Often, there are circumstances where partial white attire is worn in conjunction with other sacred clothes.
