Your right, it is the blood of jesus, but how is that blood applied to us?
Paul says in roms 6, we were baptized into his death and burial. This is baptism of the spirit. where our sins are washed away.
in 1 cor 12, Paul says we were baptized into Christ. This is baptism of the spirit.
Paul says in col. our spiritual baptism is the circumcision done by the hands of God not men this is baptism of the spirit.
John the baptist said he will baptize with the HS and fire. this is baptism of the spirit.
We receive the cleansing blood through faith in Jesus Christ. In Romans 6, Paul is talking about water baptism, where we identify publically with Jesus death, burial and resurrection. That is NOT the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
We receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit when we ask Him for it, and then submit our entire beings to it. He comes upon us with His powerful anointing, which is unmistakeable.
No. I am trying to show you the truth. But it seems you have no desire to hear.
I have been taught the truth, and I do not receive from people who dispute these matters.
Baptizo (from whence the term comes) means to immerse into. or to plung unt. it means to die, and was used by the jews to represent spiritual cleansings.
when we think of the word annoint, we think of a priest pouring a holy oil over our heads to annoint us, (especially in the OT. This is representative of the HS comming into us. Jesus was annointed when the spirit of God descended as a dove and came into him.
We also see this in the OT priesthood. the priest was washed first (this represents baptism of the spirit. Finally, he was annointed with the Holy Oil. This is representative of the annointing of the spirit.
The baptism of the spirit is where we are cleaned, and our sins are washed away.
The annointing of the spirit is where the spirit comes into us, seals us, teaches us, and gives us differing gifts.
I am sorry, but your church has mislead you
Holy Spirit, when He baptizes us with Himself, comes UPON us and pours Himself
liberally over us just like that oil of old that poured over Aaron's head and down over his beard and down to his feet---from head to toe! Just like Holy Spirit came UPON Jesus at His baptism in water.
Psalm 133:2
It is like the precious oil upon the head,
Running down on the beard,
The beard of Aaron,
Running down on the edge of his garments.
The baptism of the Holy Spirit is not a cleansing fire. It is His precious anointing of those who are already cleansed by the blood of the Lamb!
You have been misled about this beautiful act of God toward His children.
