And I don't mean this in a squicky way like that your baptism is something magical you can never undo,

I am trying to interpret this passage in my essence-of-Lutheranism booklet Baptized We Live to mean something OTHER than that and really can't. I'm so squicked by it especially since Lutherans practice infant baptism.

Because of Baptism we are Christians. [...] We are Christians because God surprised us. Coming in water, God washed us and grafted us into Christ. Our identity for all the days of our life is set!


"... or if taken literally, incredibly gross."

Ideas?
