There is one water baptism, Mark 16 v 16 -
Acts 2 v's 37-41 which Fulfills Matt 28 v's 19-20. There is 1 Holy Ghost baptism, Mark 1 v 18 which Is conjoined with Acts 2 v's 37-41.
No one found in scriptures that was litterally baptized in the titles Father-Son & Holy spirit. |

Mima-could you say more about your comments that Jesus was baptized for all? I'm just curious if we are on the same page with this. I feel like the Lord has given me a revelation showing me that as He was baptized that fulfilled water baptism and then His baptism of fire came into play. That baptism is the one that sanctifies our whole spirit, soul, and body making us a beautiful bride without wrinkle, spot, and blemish. |

The one baptism is not water. it is the act of the Spirit identifying us spiritually with Christ in His death burial resurrection ascension and being seated with him in the heavens. we died with Christ and have been resurrected and God now sees us in heaven. |

There is one God but he manifests Himself in 3 ways. There is one baptism and it manifests 3 ways also. The indwelling at salvation, the baptism of fire, and the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.So, we have one Lord and one baptism but 3 manifestations. To disregard any of these baptisms would be a sad thing as there is a blessing and empowerment with each one. |

Jesus was not baptized for all; He was SACRIFICED for all who choose to believe. Baptism by emersion is something we're all commanded by God to do as part of our public profession of faith. |

Patti you are correct about Jesus being baptized for all. Many people do not understand this but I'm thankful for the insight the Lord has given you.

There were many baptisms prior to Jesus's coming. Many were baptized in faithful names. 1Cor.1:13-15, "Is Christ divided: was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul? I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius; Lest, any should say that I had baptized in mine own name." We should be baptized in the name of the one who died for us. (Acts2:38). |

geera, Peter "not knowing"? That is wresting the scripture. |

There are many baptisms in the bible. The only true baptism is that of the Holy Ghost performs when he seals you in Christ once you believe in him. Matt 3:11, Mark 1:8, Luke 3:17, John 1:33, Acts 1:5, 11:16. Then Acts 10:47 something different happens, Gentiles get baptized by the Holy Ghost without water. Peter NOT knowing what to do, then baptizes them with water. |

The one baptism, is the water baptism commanded by Jesus in Matthew 28:19 to be done in the name of the Lord. Note those who received the Spirit baptism were still commanded to be baptized in water afterwards: "Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord." Acts 10:47,48. |

Patti, Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth, 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: |

Well, I am entertaining the belief that Jesus was baptisized to fulfill all righteousness, meaning when He was baptisized He was baptized for all and then it was ended. Because John said the One that is cming after me is going to baptize with fire and the Holy Spirit. |

Since there are at least three baptisms mentioned in the NT, if we have to state one to be THE baptism that matters, it would certainly be the baptism into the Body of Jesus, by the Holy Spirit, at conversion. I Cor 12:13 |

Jadi ... What happenes if someone suddenly realises that everything they've heard about Jesus is true, and they then and there accept Him into their lives.
Are you saing that until they are later baptised, they are not yet saved?
Toffee apples! |

Water baptisms in scripture were done where there was enough water for immersion. It doesn't save, it's act of obedience to show we are saved. Matthew 3:13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. 14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? 15 And Jesus anwering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. 16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: |

Much of what has been said is true in this respect. I have recently found that in order to be saved you MUST BE BAPTIZED...by complete IMMERSION...no where in the word have I seen one be sprinkled...in reference to John...all of John's disciples were re-baptized, I believe it was 12, because of Christ's death burial and resurrection...as a new christian years ago, this was not explained to me, I was never told that I must be baptized to be saved, nor was it discussed as to what I was truly committing. |

Yes Alan. Physical water baptism is the outward expression of the inward work of the Holy Spirit. When Jesus asked John to baptize Him, He said to suffer Him to fulfill all righteousness. Water baptism is a step of obedience for the believer and portrays his identification with Jesus in His death, burial, and resurrection that fulfilled all righteousness. |

Water baptism is not discounted because of Pentecost baptism. For the disciples continued water baptism even after the pentecost baptism. The one baptism is the baptism into Jesus. There's only one Jesus Christ, one salvation, so it is baptism in his name. Please read the comission in Matthew 28:19. |

---Eloy on 10/2/05 |
So, Linda, it is a spiritual baptism at the moment of acceptance?
And physical baptism by water, sprinkled or immersion, is a subsequent demonstration and declaration of our acceptance of Jesus, submission to Him, and reception of the Holy Spirit to be our Guide and Comforter?
Sounds right to me |

---alan8869_of_UK on 10/2/05 |
I agree with Linda Smith. Matthew 3:11 Mark 1:8 Luke 3:16 John 1:33 |
|
---Ulrika on 10/2/05 |
It is the baptism where the Spirit of God baptizes the believer into the body of Christ the moment we receive Him. |
