If you have been taught the traditional doctrine of water baptism, you may find that what you read in this booklet is more spiritually invigorating and liberating than the belief you now hold, and that it also opens up greater possibilities for more powerful Christian living.

Baptism: Statement of the Problem: Does Baptism Only Mean Water?
(4002 Reads)
|
|
|
|
The fact that most Christians throughout the centuries have equated baptism with water is very understandable. As we will see, water baptism was prescribed under the Mosaic Law. Jesus himself was baptized, and many early Christians practiced water baptism during the first years of the Church. But do the Church Epistles, that section of Scripture specifically addressed to believers living in the Church Administration, which began on the Day of Pentecost and will end with the “Rapture,” call for this practice? That is one question...

Baptism: Water and the Holy Spirit: Water is a biblical symbol, type of the spirit of God
(8269 Reads)

|
|
Throughout the Word of God, water is a symbol, a “type,” of the spirit of God, and is often used analogously to represent holy spirit, that is, the divine nature and power of God. In Scripture, God is also known as “the Holy Spirit.” In Jeremiah 2:13, for example, God refers to Himself as a “spring of living water” (see also Isa. 44:3 and 4). Think about water and what it means to you. Water is essential to life—we die without it. The average person...

Baptism: God's Goal with Baptism is an Internal Cleansing. Greek word baptizo means
(3140 Reads)
|
|
|
|
All of the ritual and ceremonial washings of the Old Testament were symbolic in nature and were a precursor to the greater reality of the inner cleansing by the Messiah’s work and baptism in holy spirit. In God’s “economy,” they were done away with when the greater baptism that He had in mind finally came to pass on the Day of Pentecost, and the Church began. Interestingly, it was John the Baptist who introduced the phrase “baptize with holy spirit.” The Greek word baptizo means...

The book of Acts begins with Jesus talking to his disciples during this same period of time, just before his ascension, and reiterating to them some things about which he had instructed them just prior to his death. He had told them about a new spiritual program, the coming “new order,” so to speak, wherein the spirit of God (“the Comforter”) would be personally present with each of them. As Jews, they were expecting this to be associated with the coming of the Millennial Kingdom. Let’s see if what Jesus said about baptism...

It is critical to note that despite the fact that most Christian churches today practice water baptism, there is no command or requirement from God for Christians to do so. In a previous “age,” under the Mosaic Law and before the Day of Pentecost, there was such a command and requirement, as we have seen from verses in Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers. For whom? For Jews and proselytes (Gentiles who converted to Judaism)—to be baptized in water. But, as Jesus told the disciples, that command was going to be, and now has been, superseded by the greater baptism in holy spirit. God’s gift of holy spirit cleanses a person internally at the moment of his new birth when...

In the Law of Moses, there were many regulations about washing and cleansing, but with the baptism in holy spirit it does not matter how you get saved, when you get saved, who got you to the point of salvation (priest or commoner, saint or sinner) or what age you are when you get saved. There is nothing to fight about, everyone is blessed that someone got saved and is now fully immersed in the gift of holy spirit...

Baptism: Baptism: Water or holy spirit? Greek word baptizo means to dip or immerse

Many Christians think that it was John the Baptist who introduced the idea of water baptism. No, the truth is that it was part of the Mosaic Law, and deeply ingrained in every Jew. What John actually did introduce was the phrase "baptized in holy spirit," showing that water baptism was a symbolic precursor to the greater reality of an internal cleansing via holy spirit.
