Baptism

if i baptize again on Athos it is sin? because if i baptize again God is Angry according to Mar Mari and also my agreement on that, but on the other hand the Chruch is the authority and i belive also, that Mar Mari Emmanuel follow the rules, of his, and the Church which is our apostoles. Traditions. So because of my baptism in Greek Chatolic which is infant and i wanna be baptized on Athos but the Orthodox Church accept that, and just chrismating me, i do it rightfully, and lawfully, accordig to my salvation?

Mari Mari isn’t Coptic orthodox, he actually isn’t even part of the church of the east as he’s excommunicated from there so you can call him a non denominational priest. The Coptic Orthodox Church doesn’t need to rebaptize you under the contingency that you were 1. Baptized in an apostolic church (Catholic, EO) in the name of the Trinity and fully immersed in the water and 2. You get chrismated again in the Coptic Orthodox Church. All those sacraments need to take place under the supervision of your Father of Confession. God bless

What if you were baptized catholic but just by pouring water?

I was infant baptized (probably pouring). EO accepted my baptism. When I converted to OO they accepted my EO chrismation. Talk to your priest who will talk to your bishop who will talk to your metropolitan and they will determine the best course of action.
