Baptism with the Holy Spirit
ONE FAITH, ONE LORD, ONE BAPTISM = INTO ONE BODY
On the day of the Pentecost, 50 days after the resurrection of Jesus, on the day
of the celebration of giving of the tablets of law to the people of Israel, Jesus
baptized his believers into his body through the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
It was prophesized by the Prophets the last of which was John.
Matt. 3:11 "I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me will come
one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not fit to carry. He will
baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.
Mark 1:8 I baptize you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy
Spirit."
Luke 3:16 John answered them all, "I baptize you with water. But one more
powerful than I will come, the thongs of whose sandals I am not worthy to
untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.
After he was resurrected, and after he has done his priestly duty of carrying
his own blood into the heavenly holy of holies Jesus declared:
Acts 1:5 For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized
with the Holy Spirit." Acts 11:16 Then I remembered what the Lord had said:
`John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.'
Peter quotes Joel in his Pentecostal sermon:
Acts 2:16-17 No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel: "`In the last
days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and
daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions; your old men will
dream dreams.
