Hello penni..., Welcome to the Forum. I was following you up until the point you said, "We receive the Holy Spirit when we obey the good news about Jesus in baptism. Acts 2:38". What about faith? What role does it play for the believer? How does this relate to what is stated in Eph 1:13, "In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation--having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise," (NASB) Is the gift of the Holy Spirit received by faith or baptism? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

To be 'born of water' does not refer to baptism as such. It refers to the new life that springs up through rain. The coming of the Holy Spirit on men is often likened by the prophets to rain. See Isaiah 32.15; 44.1-5; 55.10-13. it was this experience that Jesus wanted Nicodemus to have. It is in Isaiah 55.10-13, where he speaks of 'bringing to birth' through rain, that the idea of new birth is specifically introduced, which is why Jesus expected Nicodemus to know about it. At this stage, as far as we know, baptisms in water were not being carried out. They ceased when John was put in prison and commenced again after Jesus' resurrection. But cerainly once we have been born of water and the Spirit we should be baptised. But it is the 'baptism in the Spirit' (1 Cor 12.13; Romans 6.3) that saves us. |
