But the Baptism of infants in the Prayer Book speaks of it as a new birth before faith and confession are possible. Yes, that is its great privilege, and in order to gather its meaning we are to remember what birth is. It is not the beginning of life. Nothing is born which is not already living. Birth is that critical change in the history of a living being which ushers it into the sphere where alone its life can meet the conditions and influences THE CHRISTIAN LIFE J2 i essential to the full d...evelopment of its latent powers. The Council of Ephesus, in giving the Blessed Virgin the much misunderstood, often mistranslated, and generally abused title of theotokos (^eord/co?), meant to affirm the real- ity of the incarnation in the pre-natal as well as in the post-natal life of Jesus Christ. It was meant to assert that the Divine Word was incarnate before Jesus was born into his Kingdom, the world. And in analogy to this, Baptism, as new birth or regeneration, stands for the placing in its proper spiritual environment of the being already redeemed to God in Christ Jesus.
