Baptism, and that will include Catholic baptism, does not give eternal life. GOD gives eternal life by putting HIS SEED in the human spirit. A priest of any religion or denomination cannot convey eternal life by sprinkling water and saying a ‘sacramental recitation’.

The Sacred Scriptures beg to differ. Besides, no one believes it is the priest or any other man that confers eternal life in by baptism, it is the Holy Spirit acting through him or her.

Okay, post the scriptures which prove baptism is the source for receiving eternal life. Baptism is an OUTWARD sign that a person believes and it is counted to them righteousness. THAT is being born again, born from above. The water on the body does not activate any more than a drink defiles a man. And THAT can be proven with scripture.
