"If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;

And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."

John 8:31-32 kjv

Baptism by Water and by FIRE

Question: Do you want to become dust and die for all eternity? Or do you want to become spirit and live forever with God?

 

KEYS:

Son of Man = (Body)Flesh of Jesus 

Son of God = Spirit of Jesus(truth)

 

Sin= Spirit of Satan(lies)

 

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. 

 

There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. 

That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 

 

Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, 

This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me. And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. 

 

No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou? And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.

 

John 1:1-20 kjv

 

 

I believe baptism by water according to the gospel represents REPENTANCE: as reflection,confession(telling the truth), forgiveness and humility.

 

“Then went out to him (John The Baptist) Jerusalem, and all judaea and all the region round about Jordan,and were baptized of him in Jordan, CONFESSING THEIR SINS”

 

Matthew 1:4-6 kjv

 

 

John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.

 

Mark 1:4 kjv 

 

 

And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet? John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;

 

John 1:26-27 kjv

 

 

Baptism by water:

The act of reflection and then confessing your sins, or taking accountability for sins by apologizing. 

 

Baptism by fire:

The second part is turning away from that sin and turning the other cheek, doing a 180.

 

I believe through this baptism by water you receive clarity, a clearing up of. The water is a message for the mustard seed of faith,laying dormant under the soil,once received it should cause that individual to reflect and then repent:the germination of the seed. Think of it as if you are drinking water, taking it (INSIDE) absorbing it to then soften the heart for the seed to HEAR causing you to reflect:SEE which enables you to SPEAK:Confess with your tongue OUTSIDE of you WITHIN you, and of this WORLD. Deny thyself and Tell the truth about the sin within and of this world.

This is where EVIL comes from.

 

And he said, “That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.”

 

Mark 7:20-23

 

Baptism by water is not enough to change the person and give them access to eternal life.

 

 

“I indeed baptize you with water UNTO REPENTANCE: but he who 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 thoroughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”

 

Matthew 3:11-12 kjv

 

 

And saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.”

 

Mark 1:15 kjv 

 

 

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.”

 

...And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears."

 

Luke 4:18,21

 

When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

 

Mark 2:17

 

 

Jesus came to separate the wheat from the chaff, to save the good fruit bearing trees and to cast the bad fruit/no fruit bearing trees into the unquenchable fire. By restoring his people.

 

Holy Ghost: spirit of truth | Fire: sword of truth

 

John was baptizing with water, he was clearing up the confusion of the lost sheep. But Jesus had the power to transform those lost sheep by baptizing with the waters above(wine) and giving them the gift of fire(the sword).

 

Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

 

John 3:6 kjv 

 

Son of man:

We are born first of the flesh from our mothers(male and female) womb.

 

Son of god:

We are reborn of the spirit from our fathers bosom.(baptism by fire)

 

The Spiritual life is like the wind.

 

So, John could only tell men of earthly woes to get them to see the truth and repent. But Jesus could tell men of heavenly things and get them to not only repent but change.Giving man a new life and true hope for salvation.

 

John could only baptize the flesh, but Jesus Can baptize the soul and save it.

 

“What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”

 

Matthew 10:27-28 kjv 

 

 

Man can only destroy the body, which also means he can only baptize the body. Jesus could baptize the body and save the soul,but he can also destroy the body and the soul in hell forever. Baptism by water leads you toward the truth which is when you get baptized by fire and you have a change of heart but you also gain the ability to speak the truth and be honest.

 

When you learn the truth about yourself or the world, you are being baptized, realizing that you have been sinful or that the world is a lie may cause pain or the shedding of tears,but the baptism by the spirit of truth and fire:the sword of truth will set you on the straight and narrow to slay spiritual darkness within and of the world.

 

 

And said, “Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. 

Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!***

Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire. Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven. For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.”

 

Matthew 18:3-11 kjv

 

 

With God anything is possible. So he lends us his power to overcome our sin.

 

This fire will burn up DESIRE FOR SIN ,if you will, the fire is the truth and the baptism by that fire causes a death of your old sinful nature setting you on a narrow path with a sword to slay dragons or demons of deception within you and of the world. 

 

The sword is your tongue and we should use it to speak the truth from the heart | Mind | Soul (organs of the spiritual body) and be the truth, and follow the truth which is like the wind.

 

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

 

John 14:6 kjv

 

The Truth:

(The way).   Follow it.  (truth)

(The truth).  Speak it.   (truth)

(The life).     Live by it.     (truth)

 

I do believe there is more to the baptism by water, I say this because Jesus was baptized with water by John the Baptist, Which is strange because we would assume he doesn’t need it, Yet Jesus wanted to display his humility and his humanity. He needed to show them the way. He got the approval of the people as the Son of Man from John the Baptist and then he got approval of God as the son of God.

Jesus came to Reprove the Religious leadership and their false doctrines to save man from condemnation, and he died on that.

He also revealed his secret which was: He is the Son of God and starting his public ministry.

 

Now once Jesus received his baptism by water, immediately after he received the holy spirit and its sword, he then set out into the wilderness to be tempted by satan, he began his fast or journey if you will. 

 

Going into the wilderness is like setting out on the straight and narrow path.

 

Baptism by water must also have something to do with receiving the low down about the current corruption of religious, cultural or worldly affairs from a spiritual perspective and the pain and suffering it’s caused his lost sheep. (Jesus wept)

This corruption was that the church was committing adultery with the state, in bed with it if you will. Scarlet the harlot fornicating with the BEAST which nullified the new testament. So Jesus needed to use the word of god to cast out the false doctrines of men.

 

Jesus was groomed by God his FATHER since the age of 12, Jesus needed to know what was going on in order for him to show his sheep how to overcome temptations and the wise and prudent or Serpents and Scorpions and cast out demons(lies) while on this straight and narrow path.

Before we proceed, You need to know who the devil or satan is, according to Jesus..

 

THE DEVIL IS A LIE. 

 

Satan= Lie,father of the lie, a liar from the beginning 

Demons = Lies

Children of Satan = Liars (to lie is to spiritually murder)

 

What is the lie? MAN IS GOD after this lie are all lies born (perversions of the TRUTH)

 

"And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil."

 

Genesis 3:4-5 kjv

"Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it."

 

John 8:44 kjv

Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. 

 

Fasted: abstained from sin

Hungered: his flesh desired sin 

The Contrast: he could fast because he was filled with the word of god, he hungered afterward because he want more spiritual or daily bread and so the angels came and ministered unto him.

 

And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. 

 

Satan tried to trick Jesus into putting his trust and faith into riches,But Jesus knew of the deceitfulness of riches which choke the word in man ,and that he must put his faith and trust in God and his word and use it to REBUKE satan and his lies that lead us into evil. Don't make bread of the word JUDAS GOATS.

 

Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 

 

Satan is trying to convince Jesus to deny his mother the church or body of lost sheep, to join Satan's church, the body of self-righteous initiates.

Satan, in essence ,offered Jesus physical Immortality(Apotheosis or Saint-Hood) to trick Jesus into becoming a STAR: the immortalization of his flesh(son of man) instead of eternal life for the spirit(son of god) which lives in us as the word of God forever.

"Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away."

Matthew 24:35 kjv

HEAVEN: KINGDOM OF GOD  | EARTH: YOUR TEMPLE/BODY

 

He wanted Jesus to exalt his flesh as son of man to be worshipped as an idol(God) by men, which brings glory to himself and not to God. Jesus did not come to be the RICH MAN but he came to be the SAVIOR of the souls of men.

 

Jesus did not come to be self-righteous and prove Man is God but to be righteous to prove that there is a God that can save man’s soul.

 

Satan's version of immortality or divinity is based on the worship of the flesh and when that flesh dies it is immortalized through dust, in the form of: Statues, Temples,Monuments,films,songs,pictures, books Doctrines of Men etc MAMMON. 

 

Dust for all eternity.

Merchandising the FLESH of JESUS the son of man.

For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

Mark 8:36 kjv

 

Jesus did not want man to worship his flesh but to worship his SPIRIT of God, and the WORD of God which is EVERLASTING.

Angels protect the soul not the flesh.

 

Satan uses money and possesions or demons(lies) to protect the flesh not the soul

DON'T TIE YOUR SPIRITUAL LIFE TO YOUR POSSESSIONS, Remember Spirit begets Spirit and Flesh begets Flesh

 

Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

 

Lastly Satan asks Jesus to join his Brotherhood and to deny God as the father, and before this tried to get him to deny his mother the church(his sheep),to become Satan's son, a prince of the air instead of a Prince of life and peace, an initiate, a servant of sin not righteousness, making Satan lord. And offered him to rule in his council of wise men over the sheep to control them and to help him build his satanic empire known as The Great Work or the Empire of the mind over matter or the GOLDEN AGE.

 

But Jesus knew the word of god and rebuked his lies with the truth, man can only have one master.

 

“No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.”

 

Matthew 6:24 kjv 

 

These are the 3 main degrees or aspects of Satan's temptations which are riches,self righteousness and lastly rulership.

 

Throne of Fortune | Throne of Fame | Throne of Rulership: POWER

Business Power | Religious Influence | Political Power

 

But Jesus was able to combat these temptations. And so can we with his spirit and his word

 

Jesus says our treasures(the true riches) are in heaven our hearts, that we must be humble as a child in order to get into the kingdom of heaven and have everlasting life. He also understood we must have faith and trust in God, serving him alone and his word in the spirit of truth by picking up our cross and following his straight and narrow path til the end.

 

Second coming of Jesus:

 

Jesus had to die to prove that everything that was said or written, before his coming,that referred to him plus everything he said and lived by and exposed was TRUE, so that they may believe.

 

All of the prophets who spoke before him were but a fragment of what Jesus came to speak on as he was the source of the truth as the living word of God. 

 

Jesus said: 

 

“Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.” 

 

Luke 24:7 kjv 

 

Jesus died because of the sinful nature of man.

 

But His sacrifice paid the spiritual debt (remission of sin) man was in to establish his New Testament.

 

He died so that we may live.

 

And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.

 

Luke 24:44 kjv 

Resurrecting all truths ever spoken by men of the past(the beginning) through out prehistory and recorded history.

And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.

And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.

 

Matthew 26:26-29 kjv

 

The son of Man (FLESH of Jesus) was martyred when he was crucified by the Roman Empires Government as an innocent man. 

 

Martyr- a person who is killed because of their religious or other beliefs.

 

Jesus achieved martyrdom through the sacrifice of his flesh, The Son of Man and the truths he stood on Son of God.

 

And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.

Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man. And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned.

 

Luke 23:48

 

The son of God (SPIRIT of Jesus) did NOT die but was RISEN. 

 

The multitudes that heard the word of God from Jesus did not WITNESS the son of Man rise again. (The FLESH of Jesus) 

 

He reserved that for a few of his disciples and they actually WITNESSED his flesh and bone rise again. 

 

“Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.”

 

 Luke 24:39 kjv

 

 

The crucifixion increased/decreased the faith of the multitudes and disciples.

 

But the resurrection of Jesus the son of Man solidified the faith of the disciples in Jesus. 

 

Jesus saith unto him  “Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.” 

 

John 20:29 kjv

 

And this group of disciples turned apostles brought this testimony,the word of god, his gospel(good news: the kingdom of god is within YOU and you will receive everlasting life if ye believe in his name,repent and your sins will be forgiven ) and last Truth,God is real, by eye witness account to the rest of the world.

And said unto them, “Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And ye are witnesses of these things. And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.”

 

Luke 24:46-49 kjv 

And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

 

Matthew 28:18-20 kjv 

 

And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

 

Mark 16:15-18 kjv

 

Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost: Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.

 

John 20:21-21 kjv

 

Give Jesus your sin to exit death and enter into everlasting life. Forgive your brother of his trespasses as our father forgives ours. if your brother confess a sin, keep that sin and don't cast it before swine, cast it before brothers and sisters in Christ, they will keep you but will rebuke your sin so that you can heal from it with their love and comfort.

 

I’ll leave you with this:

 

Jesus answered and said unto him(Nicademus), Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?

 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?

 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 

 

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 

He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 

 

And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

John 3:10-21 kjv
