Hans Betz preaches about the cleansing power of Christ's blood for the
Christian commune, emphasizing the spiritual renewal symbolized by the
'Wasserbad' or water bath through the Holy Spirit. He highlights the
importance of following Christ's example of the nighttime meal of bread
and wine, reserved for the sinless commune, as a way to avoid spiritual
death and remain connected to Christ.

The Christian commune is made clean through the blood of Christ. Jesus
bears her again in the Wasserbad (water bath) through his Spirit.

Mark the counsel of God: Christ has set the pattern for a nighttime meal
of bread and wine for his commune -- the commune that keeps itself from
sin. If she eats the nighttime meal in remembrance of him, death will
not overtake her.

-- Hans Betz, from the dungeon of the castle at Passau, Ausbund, 92:15
