1 | Only 900 "baptism" posts | 1 Cor 12:13 | Love Fountain | 29972 | ||
Dear CDBJ, You said,"this thread is 1Cor 12:13 and has nothing at all to do with water." Then you say,"it is a reference to the baptism of the Holy Spirit which every believer receives at the point of salvation." Please help me to understand how in 1Cor 12:13, we are to "drink of one Spirit" if that spirit is not water(living water), especially with 1John 5:8 in mind,"And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one". I have always understood the Father, Son and Holy Spirit to be one and Jesus to be God in the flesh and the Holy Spirit to be the spirit of God and in Jer 2:13 God says he is the fountain of living waters. I look forward to hearing from you. Please help me to understand your point of view, thank you. Bless you, Love fountain |

Being factious to emphasize a point, how many ounces of this Spirit water did you have to drink before you received the Spirit? Now of course as the subject of the thread is water baptism that means you had to drink while you were being baptized in the water. 1 Cor. 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. The part of the verse (all made to drink) in the original Koine Greek is one word. It is the indicative mood, aorist tense, passive voice, of the verb (EPOTISTHEMEM). The indicative mood is the mood of reality or certainty. The aorist tense is action occurring in a point of time. The passive voice shows us that the subject receives the action of the verb. All of the action of made to drink was done for us, it is not something that we do for ourselves, such as water baptism. We automatically receive, or drink in the Spirit at a point in time when God regenerates us; this is further emphasized in the book of Ephes. Ephes. 1:12-13 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. 13In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Note that it says that (ye were sealed with), (not by) the Holy Spirit of promis; the Holy Spirit Himself is the seal. IE. We were all made to drink!!! This is like the process of metabolizing in the body but it is done in the soul of every believer If this isn't clear enough I am afraid I can't help you any more then this. CDBJ |
