Bible Question:
what is the tru process to be baptized like full emresion in water with repentence also then you recieve holy spirit or is the holy spirit (tongue's ) not really need'd after repenting and being baptize'd like in mathew 28:19 ? when do you get holy ghost after baptizm only ? |
Bible Answer: The order given in the scripture is as follows: Repentance, which is a change of mind about ourselves and our sin. In other words we agree with God that we are helpless and sinful in need of his cleansing. At this point the Holy Spirit will reveal to us the truth that Christ has died for our sins upon the cross. When we put our faith or trust in his finished work we are born from above or born of the Spirit (John 3:6, 16) The Holy Spirit enters our heart and makes us new creatures in Christ (2 Cor.5:17 At this point we are forgiven and we have eternal life. Believers baptism was commanded by the Lord Jesus and practiced by all who were saved. Acts 2:41. Baptism is outwardly symbolic of what has happen inward. In other words when I am baptised I am proclaiming to all, that I belong to Christ and that by his grace I intend to live for him for the rest of my life. He is my Lord and my saviour. We must remember that the Holy Spirit is a person and that he indwells the believer the moment they are born again. To see his work in our lives we must be willing to submit to the word of God and allow him to lead, teach and protect us. May God bless you in your life Robert |
