The Gospel of Philip and the Mysteries

If one goes down into the water and comes up having received nothing and says I too am Anointed, he or she is Christian in name only and has simply taken the Name “on loan.” But if he or she receives the gift of the sacred Spirit, then that Names has allso been received as a gift, which can never be taken away, whereas a loan can always be recalled. This is the way one lives into the mysteries.

--translated by L. Bauman
