42 | Is Jesus God | John 1:1 | alanh | 171904 | ||
The first verse of the book of John states that Jesus is God. What it does not say is He is "a god" or "the God" but just God. In other words He is diety. When He came to earth the Scriptures say He emptied Himself and took on the form of man. who, existing in the form of God, counted not the being on an equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men; and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, yea, the death of the cross. (Philippians 2:6-8) |

The water in John 3:5 is baptism and the Spirit is the Holy Spirit. Just as Jesus when baptized of John was baptized of the water and the Spirit (the Spirit descended upon Him in the form of a Dove). | ||||||

this One will baptize with *holy *spirit and fire. and thus He did on Pentecost and in 70CE and an obvious allusion to hell fire. To have the Spirit come upon oneself is to be baptized by the Spirit. Jesus spoke of being baptized of the water and the Spirit, but in know way said everyone must be baptized thus. Christians today are baptized by water because it is commanded in order to become a Christian and be saved (Mark 16:15-16; Mt 28:19-20; Acts 2:38; 1 Peter 3:21). According to Ephesians 4 there is only one baptism today and that is water baptism. |

Some allege that the baptism commissioned by Christ was not a rite in water. Rather, they contend, it is an immersion in the Holy Spirit. What are the facts regarding this matter? “How would you respond to those who make the claim that passages such as Galatians 3:27; Romans 6:3,4; Colossians 2:12; 1 Corinthians 12:13, and 1 Peter 3:21 – refer to a ‘Spirit’ baptism, rather than to ‘water’ baptism?” The baptism mentioned in Matthew 28:19 had human administrators. Christ commissioned the apostles to go and make disciples, baptizing them into the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Inasmuch as an apostle could not baptize “in the Spirit” (only Christ could do that – Mt. 3:11), one is forced to conclude that the baptism of Matthew 28:19 is water baptism, not Spirit baptism. I am unaware of any reputable Bible scholar who contends otherwise. If, then, the other passages that mention baptism (see above) are of the same import, it follows that they likewise refer to water baptism, not Spirit baptism. Both Romans 6:3-4 and Colossians 2:12 make it clear that the baptism of these passages involves both an immersion in “something,” and a “being raised” from the same substance. This makes perfectly good sense if water baptism is in view. On the other hand, if the “Spirit” is the element of the baptism, this would suggest that one is buried in the Spirit, and subsequently “raised from” the Spirit. This would imply further that the new convert would not have the Spirit, and therefore, would not belong to the Lord (Rom. 8:9; Gal. 4:6). This conclusion obviously is wrong – thus demonstrating that the element of the baptism in Romans 6:3-4 and Colossians 2:12 is not the Holy Spirit. By default, it must be water baptism. Water is specifically associated with baptism in 1 Peter 3:21. If the allusion here, then, is to water baptism, and yet 1 Peter 3:21 refers to the same sort of baptism as the other passages cited, then clearly they speak of water baptism as well. The passage that would come closest to teaching a “Spirit” baptism would be 1 Corinthians 12:13, but, the fact is, a careful analysis of related passages reveals that not even this text teaches a baptism in the Spirit. Note the following logic: The baptism of 1 Corinthians 12:13 puts one into the one “body,” which is the same as the “church” (Eph. 1:22-23; Col. 1:18,24). But the church is identified with the kingdom of Christ (Mt. 16:18-19). Thus, the baptism of the text under consideration introduces one into the Lord’s kingdom. However, a related passage demonstrates that it is through the birth of “water” that one enters Christ’s kingdom (Jn. 3:3-5). One is forced to conclude, therefore, that the baptism of 1 Corinthians 12:13 is water baptism. In this connection, one should also carefully study Ephesians 5:26, and note the reference to the “washing of water.” |

Baptism. Gal 3:27 says we are baptized into Christ. 1Co 1:2 "says unto the church of God which is at Corinth, even them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, their Lord and ours" and Ephesians 1:3 states, "who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ" is the not the same as in God's kingdom. | ||||||

The Holy Spirit is God Acts 5 verse 3 states that Ananias lied to the Holy Spirit and in the very next verse that he lied to God. Although they are separate personalites they are yet still God. As is with Christ He is separate but yet God John 1 verse 1.In the Old Testament the term Elohim is used for God this term is a singular plural word and aptly describes God. | ||||||

Act 2:39 For to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call unto him. what promise? Act 2:33 Being therefore by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he hath poured forth this, which ye see and hear. Act 1:4 and, being assembled together with them, he charged them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, said he, ye heard from me: Where did God make this promise? Acts 2:16-21 but this is that which hath been spoken through the prophet Joel: (17) And it shall be in the last days, saith God, I will pour forth of my Spirit upon all flesh: And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, And your young men shall see visions, And your old men shall dream dreams: (18) Yea and on my servants and on my handmaidens in those days Will I pour forth of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy. (19) And I will show wonders in the heaven above, And signs on the earth beneath; Blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke: (20) The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the day of the Lord come, That great and notable day. (21) And it shall be, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. "All flesh" equals Jews and Gentiles not necessarily everybody. Act 8:12 But when they believed Philip preaching good tidings concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. Acts 8:14-17 Now when the apostles that were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: (15) who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit: (16) for as yet it was fallen upon none of them: only they had been baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus. (17) Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. Receiving the gift of the Spirit was not automatic upon baptism. Apostles came from Jerusalem and laid there hands on them that they might receive the Holy Spirit. Acts 19:1 And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper country came to Ephesus, and found certain disciples: All Paul knows about the Ephesians is that they are believers and they've been baptized. He finds out they were wrongly baptized explains to them more fully and: Acts 19:2-6 and he said unto them, Did ye receive the Holy Spirit when ye believed? And they said unto him, Nay, we did not so much as hear whether the Holy Spirit was given. (3) And he said, Into what then were ye baptized? And they said, Into John's baptism. (4) And Paul said, John baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people that they should believe on him that should come after him, that is, on Jesus. (5) And when they heard this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus. (6) And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied. Bible says the gifts would cease: Ephesians 4:8-13 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, And gave gifts unto men. (9) (Now this, He ascended, what is it but that he also descended into the lower parts of the earth? (10) He that descended is the same also that ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.) (11) And he gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; (12) for the perfecting of the saints, unto the work of ministering, unto the building up of the body of Christ: (13) till we all attain unto the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a fullgrown man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: When He ascended He gave gifts (this is also what Acts 2:33 says) The gifts were given to equip the saints Paul stated that these saints "knew in part and prophsied in part" 1 Corinthians 13:9 Gifts to continue "till we all attain the unity of the faith" There will come a time (has come) when complete prophecy and faith. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 Every scripture inspired of God is also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness. (17) That the man of God may be complete, furnished completely unto every good work. The man of God in the Bible refer to the prophets. The Scriptures as a unit have brought completiom to prophecy and the faith. |

Since the neuter gender of the word “perfect” precludes a reference to a person in I Cor. 13:10, it must refer to an inanimate thing. But what thing is it? Instead of searching for some elusive antecedent which is unstated in the immediate context, let us look more closely at the very sentence in which this word is found. For herein lies our answer. Verses 9-10 together comprise one sentence where a contrast occurs between something that is partial (ek merous) now, but will be complete (teleion) later. That something is precisely stated in the words “we know in part, and we prophesy in part” (vs. 9). Paul was discussing the spiritual gifts of knowing and prophesying God’s will- the proclamation of the gospel by divine inspiration!? Jesus had foretold that the Holy Spirit would guide the apostles into “all the truth” (John 16:13). As this was done little by little over the ensuing years, men could see into the mirror of God’s revelation only as “in a mirror, darkly,” but later they would “know fully” all that God intended to reveal and thus see it clearly or “face to face” (vs. 12). By the time the last apostle died (near the end of the first century), the church had passed through its period of infancy and “put away childish things” (vs. 11) When the Scriptures were completed, the church would be sufficiently protected from doctrinal error so that spiritual gifts would no longer be needed (Eph. 4:8-16)A. nd thus they were done away (I Cor. 13:8). During the remaining centuries until the end of time faith, hope and love have continued on (vs. 13) until eternity dawns when faith and hope are swallowed up in sight and fulfillment (2 Cor. 5:7, Rom. 8:24-25). Meanwhile, let us not put our trust in the temporary spiritual gifts of the past, but in the permanent spiritual qualities of the present. |
