Subject: Baptism in the Holy Spirit? |
Bible Note: Tim, How about the Baptism of Jesus when the Father spoke and the Holy Spirit decended in the form of a dove. Jesus did set the example after all. :-) I am always perplexed when people talk about "water baptism' as if it was somehow separated from grace and the Holy Spirit. Normally the two go together as in bing born again by water and the Holy Spirit or by water and from above. "536. "The BAPTISM OF JESUS is on his part the acceptance and inauguration of his mission as God's suffering Servant. He allows himself to be numbered among sinners; he is already 'the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world'.[Jn 1:29 ; cf. Is 53:12 .] Already he is anticipating the 'Baptism' of his bloody death.[Cf. Mk 10:38 ; Lk 12:50 .] Already he is coming to 'fulfill all righteounessess', that is, he is submitting himself entirely to his Father's will: out of love he consents to this Baptism OF death for the remission OF our sins.[Mt 3:15 ; cf. Mt 26:39 .] The Father's voice responds to the Son's aceptance, proclaiming his entire delight in his Son.[Cf. Lk 3:22 ; Is 42:1 .] The Spirit whom JESUS possessed in fullness from his conception comes to 'rest on him'.[Jn 1:32-33 ; cf. Is 11:2 .] JESUS will be the source of the Spirit for all mankind. At his Baptism 'the heavens were opened'[Mt 3:16 .] - the heavens that Adam's sin had closed - and the waters were sanctified by the descent of Jesus and the Spirit, a prelude to the new creation."
