Sacramentality podcast

Catching up on my Ancient Faith Radio...

Listen to this

In the broader, cosmic sense, is not Sacramentality what distinguishes Christianity? Any religion can teach fundamentals of good living and righteousness, but only Christianity calls us toward an active Communion with God; Communion which is active and real. Moreover, Sacrament has been ordained by Christ as written in the New Testament (Care to debate me about it?).

Take Baptism. If baptism is a mere commemoration of an act without a real mysterious death and resurrection, how can one be bound to Christ? Without being bound to Christ, how can there be Salvation? As Christ has assumed our humanity and healed it, through Baptism, in the proper understanding, we become bound to Christ's renewed humanity. This seems to make the most sense to me, though I'd like to read other opinions on the subject.
