WHAT IS A TRUE BAPTISM ? WERE ALL FAMILIAR WITH THE CONVERSATION THE SON OF MAN HAD WITH NICODEMUS. REMEMBER THE SON SPEAKS IN THE TONGUE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. The Son answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be BORN AGAIN, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mothers womb, and be born? He answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of WATER and of the SPIRIT, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the FLESH is FLESH; and that which is born of the SPIRIT is SPIRIT MARVEL NOT that I said unto thee, YE MUST BE BORN AGAIN. HE WHO HATH EARS LET HIM HEAR. HOW DO WE HEAR ? BY THE WORD (Rom10:17) WORD OF GOD WHAT IS WATER ? John 7:37 - In the last day, that great day of the feast, the Son stood and CRIED, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of LIVING WATER. ( But this SPAKE HE OF THE SPIRIT, which they that believe on him should receive. SO THEN, THE LIVING WATER IS THE SPIRIT. NOW I KNOW EVERYONE TAKES THE WATER LITERALLY. THATS OK. REMEMBER BAPTISMS ORIGINATED FROM THE LAW. IT WAS PART OF THE DIVERSE WASHINGS. ITS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT TO REMIND OURSELVES OF THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF THIS, BECAUSE THATS WHAT THE SON WAS REFERRING TO. ALSO THE BROTHER OF THE SON......... THE APOSTLE PAUL EXPOUNDS , TO BE CARNALLY MINDED IS DEATH. BECAUSE THE CARNAL MIND IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE LAW OF GOD NEITHER INDEED CAN BE. (Rom 8:5-8) AND AGAIN PAUL SAYS, WE KNOW THE LAW IS SPIRITUAL (Rom 7:14) AND AGAIN PAUL SAITH - THAT WE SERVE IN THE WAY OF THE SPIRIT, and not in the OLD WAY of the written code.. AND THE SON EXPOUNDS YOU MUST WORSHIP IN SPIRIT & IN TRUTH. Act 19:1-6 And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, He said unto them, HAVE YE RECEIVED the Holy Ghost SINCE ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as HEARD whether there be any Holy Ghost.And he said unto them, UNTO WHAT then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto JOHNS BAPTISM AND JOHN THE BAPTIST SAYS, I indeed baptize you with WATER unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and [with] FIRE: Acts 19: Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, THAT IS, the Son. When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Son. And when Paul had LAID HIS HANDS UPON THEM, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied. Acts 2 - Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of The Son for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as God shall call. 1 Cor 3 : 19 - FOR THE WISDOM OF THIS WORLD IS FOOLISHNESS WITH GOD. THEREFORE LET NO MAN GLORY IN MEN. 1 Cor 1: 18 : WHERE IS THE WISE? WHERE IS THE SCRIBE? WHERE IS THE DISPUTER OF THIS WORLD? HATH NOT GOD MADE FOOLISHNESS THE WISDOM OF THIS WORLD? 1 Cor 1: 25 - BECAUSE THE FOOLISHNESS OF GOD IS WISER THAN MEN Hebrews 9:13 - For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: How MUCH MORE shall the blood of the Son, who through the ETERNAL SPIRIT offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from DEAD WORKS to serve the living God? Heb 9:9 - Which stood only in meats and drinks, and DIVERS WASHINGS, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them UNTIL the time of reformation. SO THEN, THE LAW IS WRITTEN IN A SPIRITUAL TONGUE. THIS IS A SPIRITUAL WASHING. WE SHOULD DESCEND INTO THE LIVING WATER ........ OR THE SPIRIT. THE ENEMY OF THE SPIRIT IS THE FLESH AND CARNAL MIND, (Rom 8:5-9+1Cor15:50) WE DESCEND INTO THE OPPOSITE, WE DESCEND INTO THE SPIRIT. THIS IS WHY EVERY CHILD OF GOD UNDERGOES THE REMOVING OF THE FLESH, WHICH IS THE ENEMY OF THE SPIRIT. THIS PROCESS IS CALLED CHASTENING. ( Ps 69:10 + Heb 12: 5-11 ) Jer 17:13 - O Lord, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the Lord, the fountain of LIVING WATERS. Jer 2: 13 - For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water. John 4 - There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: The Son saith unto her, Give me to drink.(For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.) Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans. He answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water? Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle? The Son answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. WE CANNOT FORSAKE THE SPIRIT OR THE WATER. NOW SPEAKING OF WATER, CONSIDER THIS. WITHOUT A SOURCE OF LIGHT YOU CANNOT SEE YOUR REFLECTION ON THE WATER. THY WORD IS A LAMP UNTO MY FEET AND A LIGHT UNTO MY PATH.EVERY CHILD DESCENDS INTO THE LIVING WATER HOLDING THEIR LAMP. USE YOUR LAMP TO HELP YOU FIGURE OUT HOW FAR YOUVE DESCENDED INTO THE WATER OR THE SPIRIT.
