Bible Answer: Agree3, your comment "hello! i have a heartfelt question. In john 14:26 it say's the holy spirit will teach "all" things, and bring them to "rememberance",also john 16:13. the messiah in acts 1:5 told the disciples that they will "now" be baptized with spirit.And then they (especially Peter) had to be reminded by the holy spirit (john 14:26) is the baptism in acts 11:15,16..... " My reply, "Jesus taught his apostles a great deal. So much that no man could remember it well enough to recite to a scribe for a written record. The apostles were "baptized" with the holy spirit, meaning they were blessed by God with the remembrance (jn 14.26) of everything Jesus had taught them." Your comment, "was the messiah a jew(king jew)who like every other jew had to come to john,because he was under law? Matthew 3:13-15.....so the messiah had to fulfil the law (luke 24:44). My reply, "I believe that the reason Jesus was baptized was to set an example. Certainly he didn't have to be. John's baptism was for repentance of sin. Jesus did not sin. The only conclusion left is he did it because he was going to require his followers do it. It was necessary for him to be baptized to 'fulfill all righteousness'. " Your comment, "the law is physical(something that can be seen)like water immersing. John did water baptism right?" My reply, "Yes, John's baptism was for repentance." Your comment, "Now after the messiah lay down his life and arose from the grave there was new law (spirit romans 7:6,and 8:2)right? My reply, "Yes." Your comment, "so is this why he said this in acts 1:5,and paul asked into what baptism were you baptized?I asked this question to myself for over 30 years....why did they ask "into what baptism were you baptized?......why was it so important to find out what baptism if it did not matter?" My reply, "It did matter at that time. If one was only baptized into "John's baptism of repentance" he was lacking something because Christ had died and it was necessary to be baptized into Christ as Acts 19:1-5 demonstrates." John's baptism began while Christ was alive on earth. If someone wanted to obey God they would be baptized into John's baptism. This would safeguard them should they die prior to Jesus (my understanding) and ensure their salvation. Once Christ died, it was necessary to be baptized into Christ for the remission of sin (Acts 2:38). Acts 19 is evidence of this and its importance." Your comment, "it seems that when paul met these men they were still doing johns' baptism(under the law,acts 1:5)they never heard of any holy spirit! These men were not performing John's baptism, they were baptized into John's baptism (Acts 19:3). Remember Peter even forgot(acts 11:16)about what the messiah told him and the other disciples.......why? My reply, "I don't believe Acts 11:16 teaches that Peter forgot, the passage says "Then I remembered". There is a difference." Your comment, "did the disciples go through so much trouble to make sure people knew this in acts 1:5......or was it really the holy spirit doing the teaching through these bodies in the first place!.....john 14:26,and 16:13.......just asking heartfelt questions after reading these verses for a long time........please no bitter replies,.... I am only asking a few questions!......thanks" My reply, "The baptism of the Holy Spirit upon the twelve apostles on Pentecost gave these men the power they needed to one, remember what Jesus had taught them, two, demonstrate that what they said was from God through the performing of miracles (Mk 16.17,18), and three, impart these gifts to others in order to expand the number of "laborers" in the "harvest" (Mt 9:37,38)." These are all excellent questions! |
