BAPTISM
Part 2
BAPTISM IN WATER IS A TESTIMONY TO OUR DEATH AND REBIRTH BY BAPTISM WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT AND FIRE
Acts 2:38 Acts 10:45-48 Acts 19:2-6 Rom 6:4 Gal 2:20 Col 2:12 1Pe3:21
Baptism in water symbolizes our conversion.
BAPTISM IN WATER SYMBOLIZES WASHING, CLEANSING AND FORGIVENESS OF SINS
Acts 2:38 1Corinthians 6:11 Hebrews 9:22 Hebrews 10:2 Hebrews 10:22 2 Peter 1:9 1John 5:6 1John 5:8 Revelation 7:14
BAPTISM IN WATER AND BAPTISM IN THE SPIRIT ARE CLOSELY LINKED BUT ARE USUALLY NOT SIMULTANEOUS
Baptism in water and Baptism in the Holy Spirit are coupled together in these passages because one symbolizes the other, even though they may not take place simultaneously
GOD WANTS US TO BE BAPTIZED IN WATER AS WELL AS THE SPIRIT
Matthew 28:19, Matthew 3:11, Mark 16:16 , Mark 1:8, Luke 3:16, John 7:38-9, Acts 1:5, Acts 2:38, Acts 2:41, Acts 8:12, Acts 8:13, Acts 8:16, Acts 9:18, Acts 10:47-8, Acts 11:15-17, Acts 19:1-6, Acts 16:15, Acts 16:33, Acts 18:8, Acts 18:25, Acts 19:5, Acts 22:16, Romans 6:3, Romans 6:4, 1Corinthians 12:13, Galatians 3:27, Ephesians 4:5, Colossians 2:12, 1Peter 3:21
RECEIVING THE SPIRIT IS THE SAME AS BAPTISM IN THE SPIRIT
BAPTISM IN THE SPIRIT IS THE BEGINNING OF OUR WALK WITH JESUS
Acts 2:41 Acts 8:12 Acts 8:36 Acts 9:18 Acts 11:15-17 1Corinthians 12:13 Galatians 3:27
BAPTISM IN THE SPIRIT BRINGS US INTO THE BODY
You cannot be a Christian unless you have been baptized with the Spirit
Baptism with the Spirit is not an optional extra for Christians
Speaking in tongues and Baptism in the Spirit are not the same
Speaking in tongues is only one manifestation of the Spirit
NOT ALL SHALL SPEAK IN TONGUES
Nobody can enter the Kingdom of Heaven unless they are Born of the Spirit
PRAISING GOD IS A SIGN OF SPIRIT BAPTISM
Acts 10:45-6 1Corinthians 12:3 1John.2:23 1John 4:2 1John 4:15
