2Pet 1, 13-15 As our Lord Jesus Christ has shown me

(2Pet 1, 13-15) As our Lord Jesus Christ has shown me
[13] I think it right, as long as I am in this "tent," to stir you up by a reminder, [14] since I know that I will soon have to put it aside, as indeed our Lord Jesus Christ has shown me. [15] I shall also make every effort to enable you always to remember these things after my departure.
(CCC 1272) Incorporated into Christ by Baptism, the person baptized is configured to Christ. Baptism seals the Christian with the indelible spiritual mark (character) of his belonging to Christ. No sin can erase this mark, even if sin prevents Baptism from bearing the fruits of salvation (Cf. Rom 8:29; Council of Trent (1547): DS 1609-1619). Given once for all, Baptism cannot be repeated.
