He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire

 

I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:  Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. (Matthew 3: 11-12)

Serehan's baptism in water means washing away sin. However, after Jesus died on the cross, the meaning of baptism is to die on the cross with Jesus. In Romans 6: 3『 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?』And in Romans 6:4『Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 』God makes those who were buried with Jesus reborn by the power of the Holy Spirit.

The baptism of the Holy Spirit makes revelation and works for the saints to preach the gospel. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is the saints' preaching the gospel and empowering them for a victorious life. John the Baptist said, "He who comes after me will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire." Jesus died on the cross and was resurrected on the third day. He did not show the resurrection to anyone. In Romans 10:9『That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 』 If Jesus showed his resurrection to everyone, it would help salvation. Why did he show only some people? He was shown only to those who followed the Lord with constant faith from beginning to end.

However, those who saw the resurrection were not able to convey the evidence of the resurrection to others. So the Lord baptized the Holy Spirit. Before the Lord ascended, he said, "You will be baptized with the Holy Spirit in a few days." The baptism of the Holy Spirit has the power to save the spiritual life of others. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is given only to those who have been born again, and those who seek to receive the Holy Spirit without being born again receive the evil spirit, not the Holy Spirit.

The Lord did not say "Baptism of fire" here. John the Baptist said it was fire baptism, but because Jesus did not say it, he rarely said "Baptism of fire". However, it was used once in Luke 12:49. 『I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled? "If there is a" fire of the Holy Spirit, "there is nothing else to be desired.

What Jesus did for three years came to throw fire on the ground. And in verse 50, Jesus said, "I have baptism to receive, so how will my frustration go until it is done?" Many people have heard of the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Those who were baptized in the Holy Spirit were good and could not bear it. So unbelievers said, "They're drunk."

 If you get drunk, you forget everything. Likewise, after being baptized in the Holy Spirit, he says, "He is drunk." The new drink is “The Kingdom of Heaven Comes” because the Gospel is preached. To preach the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Seek the baptism of the Holy Spirit to deliver this salvation.

The disciples said, "Isn't it morning this morning? However, Jesus had never said "I baptize the Holy Spirit" for three years. But he said, "The reason I came to this earth in the flesh is that I came to throw the fire on the ground. What would I want if this fire had already caught fire?"

He said, "I have my baptism to receive." Jesus prayed to God in the garden of Gethsemane, "If you do, move this cup from me, and I am dead." Jesus also died because he tried to lay down my will and follow God's will. We will not be happy if we put down our wishes and try to follow the will of the Lord. But this is a baptism. Baptism is "letting people do things that are likely to die."

The tradition of the elders

  The tradition of the elders   Mark 7:5-9  『 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands? He answered and said to them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. 』 In the Galilee region, Pharisees and scribes from Jerusalem came to Jesus. They came with accusations against Jesus. This is because Jesus' disciples neglected washing their hands, a Jewish ritual of purification. They called it  “ the tradition of the elders. ”  The Jewish leaders ...

Question 64. What is the invisible church?

  Question 64. What is the invisible church? Answer. The invisible church is the total number of the elect who are gathered together and will be gathered together in the future under Christ, the head. In the catechism, the doctrine states that the invisible church is "the total number of the elect who are gathered together and will gather together in the future under Christ, the head," so it can be understood as those who make heaven in Christ. However, the invisible church can be said to be an invisible church community, but this was only used as a means to divide the visible church and the invisible church, and dividing them into visible and invisible is not biblical. The church is the church of the saints, and the church community is the gathering of the saints. The expression "true member" is also ambiguous.

Question 32. How is the grace of God manifested in the second covenant?

  Question 32. How is the grace of God manifested in the second covenant? Answer. The grace of God is manifested in the second covenant, in his free provision and offering to sinners of mediation, and of life and salvation by it; and by requiring faith as the condition of their entering into a relationship with Christ, the mediator; and by promising and giving the Holy Spirit to all his elect, he works faith in them, with all other saving graces, and enables them to do all holy obedience; which obedience is a true evidence of their faith and gratitude to God, or the way which God hath appointed for their salvation. If we divide God's covenant into two for convenience, the covenant that appears in the Old Testament is called the first covenant, and the covenant that appears in the New Testament through Jesus Christ is called the second covenant. Luke 22:15-16 “ And he said to them, ‘ I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. For I tell you, I will n...
