a ritual baptism is a representative identification using water.</div> <bR> <div> <B>The five real baptisms:</B></div> <div> <B>The baptism of Moses 1 Cor. 10:1-2.</B>  In this baptism, the Israelites were identified with Moses and went through the Red Sea on dry ground, because Moses was identified with the cloud or the manifestation of the Lord.  The Egyptian soldiers were the ones who were immersed and ended up literally dead.</div> <div> <B>The baptism of the cross of Jesus Matt. 20:22; Mark 10:38-39; Luke 12:50. </B> In this baptism, the sins of the human race were identified with Jesus Christ on the cross.  They were judicially imputed to Christ.  Judicially, because there was no affinity of the sins to Christ, because He was guiltless - sinless.  Jesus became identified with our sins (2 Cor. 5:21) and was judged for those sins, so He became our Savior<B>. </B></div> <div> <B>The baptism of the Holy Spirit 1 Cor. 12:13</B>.  In this baptism the Holy Spirit identifies the believer in Jesus Christ with Jesus Christ forever (Gal. 3:26-28). The believer becomes a part of the body of Christ.  Believers are identified with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.  Our position changes, because we are no longer in Adam, but in Christ (Rom. 6:3-5).   The baptism of the Spirit is not an experience or related to human feelings or emotions.  It happens at salvation and cannot be improved at a future time by the believer's actions<B>. </B></div> <div> <B>The baptism of fire Matt</B>. 3:11.  In this baptism, the unbelieving Jews and Gentiles are cast off the earth into the baptism of fire at the end of the Tribulation. In Luke 3:16 and Revelation 20:11-15, the unbeliever is identified with fire forever.   All unbelievers are removed from the earth prior to or at the beginning of the Millennium.</div> <div> <B>The baptism of Noah 1 Pet. 1:20-21; 2 Pet 2:5.</B>  In this baptism, the seven souls of Noah's family were delivered because they identified with Noah on the ark.  Those who were immersed perished in judgment.</div> <div> In these four real baptisms, there is an actual identification, but no water is involved (except in the case of the Egyptian soldiers and the unbelieving world of Noah's day, who perished).  </div> <bR> <div> <B>There are three ritual baptisms:</B></div> <div> <B>The baptism of John Matt. 3:1-10; John 1:25-33.  </B>In this baptism, those who accepted John's message of repentance were identified with the kingdom of God.   This baptism identified the person with the Messiah's Kingdom and desire to walk in God's program of salvation.   It also served as a type of the coming baptism of the Holy Sprit.</div> <div> <B>The baptism of Christ Matt. 3:13-17. </B>This was a unique baptism, that applied only to Jesus Christ. John the Baptist at first tried to refuse to baptize Jesus, but Jesus said this was new.   It identified Jesus with the beginning of His public ministry and the intent to identify with the Father's will to go to the cross.   Going into the water and coming out foretold that Jesus would die, but be resurrected. </div> <div> <B>The baptism of the believer Matt. 28:19-20.  </B>In this baptism, the believer is identified with the spiritual and physical death and burial of Jesus Christ, going into the water, and identified with His resurrection, coming up out of the water.  It is a public declaration of obedience to the will of the Father to communicate what has already happened at a previous point.  The one who is baptized is the teacher, because their action teaches that everyone must be identified with the death of Jesus Christ, in order to be made alive to Jesus Christ.  There is no experiential sanctification with this action, except in the form of obedience to God's will.  Sins are not washed away; they were washed away at the point of salvation.  </div> <bR> <div> In the ritual baptism, the water represents identification with something else.   The person going into the water must be knowledgeable of what he is doing, or it is a ritual without reality and therefore useless.</div> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <A HREF="id156.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Romans 6:614"><U><B>Next Page</B></U></A></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="index.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Grace Evangelical Church"><U><B><IMG SRC="0c740400.gif" border=0 width="64" height="64" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="index.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Grace Evangelical Church"><U><B>Home</B></U></A></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
