3 BAPTISMS

Prove what I said is wrong. Prove that Paul did not first believe and then receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit and the that of water. It says so just in that order. And to say he did not believe after what had happened to him, to say that he had not repented after what had happened to him is not of God. For Paul to receive the Holy Spirit baptism, he would have first be saved. He would have first believed in Christ unto salvation by the blood of the lamb, which I refer to as the baptism in blood. For it is by the blood of the lamb our sins are cleaned and it by the blood of the lamb we are baptized into Christ. Romans 6.

Acts 9:17 And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.

18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.

Yes, Nick, water.

If you cannot see the truth, then the truth is not in you. Those who are of the Father will know the things of the Father, for the Father will reveal himself to them.

As of my precious King James, remember your own word Semmy, for one day you will have to repeat them to the Father.

Jesus is the Word and if you do not recognize the Word, if you deny the Word, you are denying Christ. So if by chance the King James is the infallible Word of God and you hate it, are you not hating God?

It amazes me of the narrow mindedness and the fleshly stand of those who claim to know the Word of God. All those who are the backers of the doctrine of Nick. I could care less what you believe or who you believe. For all that matters is that you follow God and that your heart is right with God. If your heart was right with God then you would know the truth. Yet, you are so rebellious that you will not even seek the truth. You would much rather bask within the confines of the doctrines of men.

I have asked you all to do the study on the three baptisms. If you would do this, you would mosts likely come to the truth, for to search for the truth will lead to the truth, yet your stiffneckedness egos would rather you continue on the path of destruction. I can only lead you to the water, I cannot force you to drink.

As for your rebuke Semmy, know this, to rebuke one who is standing in the righteousness of God will bring the rebuke back upon the one who gave the rebuke.

I cannot open your eyes. Your hearts are not right with God and because of that, you cannot see.

The scriptures tell us there is one baptism. Yet, it is plain to see there is more then one in scripture. What baptism then is this verse refering to?

Ephesians 4:5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism,

Is this the baptism of the Holy Spirit? Is this the baptism of water? It is neither. There is only one baptism that baptizes us into Christ and that is the baptism of blood. It is the baptism of salvation.

Romans 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?

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.

5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

Verse three tells us we are baptized into Christ, into his death.

In verse six, it tells us the our old man is crucified, that the body of sin is destroyed. This cannot only be done through the blood of Christ by being baptized into Chirst through his blood. It is his blood that destroys the body of sin.

1 Peter 3:21 This is a symbol of baptism, which now saves you-not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

Why do believers want to rob salvation of the blood that saves them? Do you not understand the importance of the blood. Without the blood, there would be not remission of sins. What is more important, water or blood? The church for too long has turned it's back on the blood of the lamb. I rebuke all who do this. It is time to change this. For the power is in the blood of the lamb.

Heb. 9:22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

Acts 20:28 Take heed, therefore, to yourselves, and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the assembly of the Lord and God which he purchased with his own blood.

Romans 3:25 whom God set forth to be an atoning sacrifice, through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness through the passing over of prior sins, in God's forbearance;

Ephesians 1:7 in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,

Ephesians 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made near in the blood of Christ.

Colossians 1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

Colossians 1:20 and through him to reconcile all things to himself, by him, whether things on the earth, or things in the heavens, having made peace through the blood of his cross.

Hebrews 9:12 nor yet through the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, entered in once for all into the Holy Place, having obtained eternal redemption.

Hebrews 9:13 For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctify to the cleanness of the flesh: (WEB KJV WEY ASV BBE DBY WBS YLT NAS RSV NIV)
Hebrews 9:14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

Hebrews 12:24 to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better than that of Abel.

Hebrews 13:12 Therefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people through his own blood, suffered outside of the gate.

1 Peter 1:2 according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, that you may obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with his blood: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.

1 Peter 1:19 but with precious blood, as of a faultless and pure lamb, the blood of Christ;

1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.

Revelation 7:14 I told him, “My lord, you know.” He said to me, “These are those who came out of the great tribulation. They washed their robes, and made them white in the Lamb's blood.

Revelation 12:11 They overcame him because of the Lamb's blood, and because of the word of their testimony. They didn't love their life, even to death.
