Great indeed is the Baptism which is offered you. It is ransom to captives; the remission of offences; the death of sin; the regeneration of the soul; the garment of light; the holy seal indissoluble; the chariot to heaven; the luxury of paradise; a procuring of the kingdom; the gift of adoption. - St. Cyril of Jerusalem, *The Protocatechesis* par. 16

that is beautiful.
there are so many wonderful quotes coming from the early church fathers regarding baptism.
Thank you again for the wonderful and beautiful patristic quote, Pastor Weedon! It's always a joy to be strengthened by the historic faith we share.
