We need no longer to be baptized in these:
1. Moses’ baptism— new life (1 Cor 10: 2)
2. John’s baptism—repentance (Mark 1:4)
3. Jesus’ baptism— death and resurrection
4. Baptism of suffering— cross, death, persecution, die to sin (Luke 12:15), not worthy to be compared. Stop sinning.
Three kinds of Baptisms today:
1. Christian water baptism. To testify of our new identification in Christ (Matt. 3:15). Buried and resurrected (Rom. 6:4), in obedience to God (Matthew 28:19).
2. Holy Spirit baptism (and fire)— entrance into the supernatural. (Matthew 3:11) We were never designed by God to live a natural life but to live a supernatural life through the baptism of the Holy Spirit and fire. (Roman 9:1) bearing witness in the Holy Spirit.
3. Baptism into Christ. Being united in Christ. (Galatians 3:27).
