They both work to do the same thing , So if we are told to be Baptized with water for a symbol of our Faith, in the blood of Jesus, that we might receive the Holy Spirit, which begins to cleanse our Spirits, why do you find that not right then? are we…[Read more]

To all………..Baptism is required, but it does not guarantee receiving the Holy Spirit of God. Many have been baptized and have not the Spirit. And some received the Spirit before they were baptized. Originally baptism was a type of ceremonial cleansing , that a person had to do before he could go into the temple of God to be presented before…[Read more]
