​

GET ORDAINED IN ONE EASY STEP!

​

​

STEP 1. Baptism

​

Option 1: Find a 'Believer', have that individual baptize you and then sign the 'Letter of Baptism'. Next send it to machettevanhelsingii@gmail.com

​

Option 2: Visit a Temple of Light & Life location for your Baptism.​

​

To be baptized as an adult through the Temple of Light & Life is to make a conscious, spiritual declaration that you are no longer a subject of the world’s systems, but a reborn child of God—free from the legal fictions that bind secular men.

​

Unlike infant baptisms performed under state-sanctioned churches (which operate as incorporated 501(c)(3) businesses), our baptisms are private, spiritual covenants, unrecorded by government entities. This means your rebirth in Christ is not tied to a state birth certificate, SSN, or corporate registry.

 

You are baptized into the Kingdom of Heaven and FINALLY FREE! Not further contracted into a Kingdom you are already bound to. Similarly, ordination in a free church is not state-recognized—because it doesn’t need to be. 

 

YOUR BAPTISM & CIVIL DEATH (The 'Exit')

​

 The Legal Effect: Civil Death

 

Definition:  

- A common law principle where one severs ties with the secular state.  

- Recognized in English ecclesiastical courts and early U.S. law.  

 

How It Works:

1. Abandonment of Secular Identity (no SSN, no state ID).  

2. Relinquishment of State Benefits (no voting, no licenses).  

3. Rebirth Under Canon Law (subject only to God’s jurisdiction).  

 

Legal Precedents: 

- Canon Law (Corpus Juris Canonici) – Baptism removes one from "worldly allegiances."  

- Blackstone’s Commentaries – "Ecclesiastical persons are dead in law."  

- U.S. Case Law – "The church is separate from the state." (Watson v. Jones, 1871)  

​

Old Self (Secular Persona):  

- Bound by statute law, taxes, and state control.  

- "The wages of sin is death." (Romans 6:23)  

 

New Self (Reborn in Spirit):

 

- Operates under God's law, Biblical law, canon law & divine mandate.  

 

"Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with Him." (Romans 6:8)  

 

Final Transition:

 

- Baptism by a true priest (valid holy orders) severs the old legal identity.  

- Civil Death finalizes the killing of the corporate 'person'.

​

Romans 2:11 (KJV): "For there is no respect of persons with God."

 

Acts 10:34 (KJV): "Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:" ​

​

Once your letter of Baptism is received an ordination ceremony will be held at one of our locations and your name will be added to our registry. Next, your Baptismal Certificate and Ordination Certificate will be sent to you via email.

The Difference

 

An ordained minister of a free church answers only to God—performing sacraments, solemnizing marriages, and speaking truth without bureaucratic approval.

​

The difference is freedom vs. bondage. A secular minister is a employee of a state-chartered corporation, subject to audits, censorship, and control. But a Temple of Light & Life minister is a private, free man or woman, operating under divine law—not statutory law.

 

Here, we do not beg the state for permission to serve God. We declare our allegiance to Christ’s Kingdom alone, rejecting the illusion that Caesar has authority over the Bride of Christ.

 

This is why people come to us—to break free from the chains of secular religion, to transition from the public sector’s control to the private sector’s liberty.

 

The world’s churches offer compromised, state-regulated faith. We offer the undiluted power of the early church. The ORIGINAL church —where baptism is liberation, ordination is true spiritual authority, and every believer walks in the fullness of their divine identity. 

 

This is God’s way. The only way. Come to the Temple of Light & Life, and step into your rightful place as a free follower of Christ.

​

1. You Are No Longer a Citizen or 'Person' – You died with Christ (Galatians 2:20).  

2. Our Church Is Not a Corporation – It is the Bride of Christ (Ephesians 5:25-27).  

3. Our Authority Is From Heaven – Not the U.S. Government, IRS, nor the DMV.
