Baptize is a cleansing , a purification...A initiation into the trod...This can only come through a itinual natural iritual righteous pure livity , ..In JAH Rastafari Power of the Trinity .. fire and spirit. Wisdom ,knowledge, overstanding...know thyself and live and love that truth

Rasta is above needless rituals. No baptism,no circumcision,no confusion.

Blessed Love, Baptism is not necessary. It can be upfull if desired and meditated on as part of Jah covenant. If/when I and I go tru w it I may Include: the Ge'ez title `Anbesa Ze'imnegede elDanI ("Lion of the Tribe of Dan") 1 perfect Love

But wasn't we as priest of the Most High commanded to do such? Yeshua indeed taught and told John the Baptist to do so, not so much for HIM sake, but it was an example to those that follow? Did HE not told Nicodemus, except a man be born-again he cannot enter Zion! Except he is born of the Water (baptism), and the Spirit (Holy Spirit) he cannot see it?

Thats christian mentality your talking about. Its not a part of every Rastamans path. peace.

Messenger: Righteous Lion Sent: 9/24/2015 9:13:43 PM

But did not Selassie I teach us to follow the bible and doesn't the bible speaks of Yeshua? And Yeshua teaches us the Kingdom of Jah? Does not Moses speaks and teaches the different position and duties of the priesthood? Of what Jah commanded the priest to do and perform, these things were for an example for us under the new covenant?
