Therefore, the christian baptism becomes the foundation of the new ontological status of the human been, reborn from the water and Ghost. The christianization act not designates just the gate of the Church, but especially the crucial moments of the Holy Ghost`s descent upon us, stage that register our adoption into God, in accordance with the model of Christ, crucified and resurected. To live in Christ represents the major purpose of our living, purpose with, ultimately, designs the human been towards the participation of infinite glory of God.
