Bible Question:
hello!...i have a heartfelt ?......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..... ?....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)....the law is physical(something that can be seen)like water immersing.John did water baptism right?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?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?acts 19:1-5......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!Remember Peter even forgot(acts 11:16)about what the messiah told him and the other disciples.......why? 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 |
Bible Answer: Welcome to the forum, Agree3! I will address a few of the points and scriptures you brought up. You asked “does the bible teach 2 baptisms?” Well, actually the bible teaches 3 baptisms that are still valid today. 1. The baptism of the believer into the body of Christ (1Cor 12:13) in the since that all Christians drink into one Spirit, which is the Holy Spirit (John 4:10, John 4:14, John 6:63). 2. Believers baptism in water (Acts 8:12, Acts 8:36, Acts 10:48, Acts 16:15, Acts 19:5, 1Cor 1:14). 3. Baptism with (filled with) the Holy Spirit to receive the power necessary (Acts 1:8) to be a witness (Acts 2:4, Act 10:44, Act 11:15-16, Act 19:6). When Peter was speaking of his remembrance of Jesus's words 'John indeed baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit' in Acts 11:16, he was not saying that those were words he had forgotten, only that what he had saw was the Baptism with the Holy Spirit, just as Jesus had told them about, and that the Gentiles were enabled with the same gift (tongues) as they had been when they were baptized with (filled with) the Holy Spirit at Pentecost (Acts 11:17). retxar |
