Kungani ungabhapathizi owesifazane okhulelwe?
Enkonzweni yesonto, akukho ukuqinisekiswa kweBhayibheli ukuthi abesifazane abakhulelwe abakwazi ukubhapathiza ingane. Injabulo yeBandla ibangelwa ukuthi umntwana ozelwe ngokuzalwa uzosusa sonke isikhathi samahhala nonke uthando oluvela kumama osemncane, futhi usana oluthathwa emfonini luzosala ngaphandle kokukhathalela. Kubalulekile ukukhumbula ukuthi unkulunkulukazi akuzona kuphela izinto ezibonakalayo kanye nezipho zokuzalwa kwakhe, okokuqala - lo ngumama wesibili. Phela, o-godrarents bafakazi besigceme sokubhapathizwa, abaphathiswa ukholo lwe-godson, futhi banesibopho sokumfundisa emithethweni yempilo yobuKristu. Ngakho-ke, ukuvinjelwa okuyinhloko ekukhetheni izintombikazi kukhona:
- noma yiyiphi enye inkolo yabo: ukungakholelwa kuNkulunkulu, ubuSulumane, ubuJuda, ubuBuddha;

Ngakho-ke, iSonto libheka njengephutha isitatimende sokuthi abesifazane abakhulelwe abakwazi ukubhapathiza ingane. ISonto Lama-Orthodox linikela kuphela izincomo zalo - ukuthi yini okufanele ucabange ngaphambi kokwenza isinqumo esibalulekile. Uma iSigramente sokubhapathizwa senziwa ngentombazane yentombazane, ngokwemithetho yesonto, unkulunkulukazi ugcina u-godfather iningi lomkhosi, futhi owesifazane okhulelwe kunzima kakhulu, ikakhulukazi ezinyathelweni zokugcina zokukhulelwa. Uma owesifazane okhulelwe enikezwa ukubhapathiza umfana, khona-ke azikho ubunzima, ngoba isiphambano asibalulekile kakhulu ekubhapathizweni kwakhe.
Uma kwenzeka ukuthi abazali bezintombazane bephikelela ukuthi owesifazane okhulelwe ubhapathize ingane, ngemvume yompristi, angeke abe khona emkhosini (kodwa alotshwe emibhalweni), khona-ke ugogo kumele athathe amafonti avela emntwaneni.

Okhulelwe angabhapathizwa, uma owesifazane ezwa kahle, akaqiniseki ukuthi ngeke amnakekele ukunakwa kukaNkulunkulu, futhi uyoba umngane wakhe weqiniso wokuphila.
Ingabe abantu abakhulelwe babhapathiziwe?
Owesifazane okhulelwe akakwazi nje ukubhapathiza ingane, kodwa futhi ubhapathizwe ngokwakhe, uma engakaze abhapathizwe ngaphambili. Abapristi abenza umkhosi weSigramente ye-Epiphany bathi izingane zabesifazane abanjalo zizalwa ziqinile futhi ziphilile.
I-christening yinto enomusa kakhulu futhi enomusa, ngakho kungani owesifazane okhulelwe engafanele ukuba nengxenye enjalo? Abapristi bathi yona kanye nengane yakhe yesikhathi esizayo iyozuza kuphela.
