Jesus continued and said: "And I will teach you the mystery of the three baptisms: the baptism of the first space, the baptism of the second space, and the baptism of the spiritual fire.

2"For through the baptism of the first space the soul is washed from all the impurities of the world.

3"And through the baptism of the second space the soul is anointed with the holy chrism of the Light-land.

4"And through the baptism of the spiritual fire the soul is clothed in the vesture of light and becometh an heir of the Kingdom."
