1 | ONLY ONE BAPTISM | Bible general Archive 1 | TheLord'sChurch | 91105 | ||
You are very right that there now is only one baptism, but wrong that the great commission had no baptism. Christ told them to go into all the world and preach the Gospel, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. The other baptism in the New Testament was that of the Holy Ghost, and it was only recorded twice. Once with the Apostles(Acts 2) and the second was with Cornelius, the first gentile to be saved(Acts. 10). The baptism of the Holy Spirit was for a sign. First the Devout Jews in chapter 2 had to believe that the Apostles were from God and the second time the Jews had to be shown that the gentiles could recieve the same salvation. The baptism that is for us today is to be submerged in water, representing Christ's death, burial and ressurection, and therefore being added INTO the body of Christ by God(Rom. 6:1-6; Acts 2:38, 47, Gal. 3:26-29.) any further qeustions please write. shwnd300@hotmail.com...........thanks | ||||||

"The other baptism in the New Testament was that of the Holy Ghost, and it was only recorded twice. Once with the Apostles(Acts 2) and the second was with Cornelius". Lets not forget: Eph 19.3 And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism. 4 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, on Christ Jesus. 5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied. 7 And all the men were about twelve. "The baptism that is for us today is to be submerged in water, representing Christ's death, burial and ressurection, and therefore being added INTO the body of Christ by God." I agree with this but it is not all there is for us as a provision from God for our intimacy with Him: Acts 2.39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. That means us and He's speaking of the Baptism of the Holy spirit as demonstrated on the day of Pentecost that was prophecied by Joel 2.38. I very needed experience in ones private prayer life and worship. |
