BAPTISM — A CLOSER LOOK GOD’S GIFT OF HIMSELF

Divine power for new life
I. The Holy Spirit Creates Spiritual Life (Titus 3:3-7; Ezek. 36:22-27;
John 3:3-6).

II. Jesus “Baptizes” Believers in God’s Spirit (Matthew 3:11; Mark
1:7-8;Luke 3:16; John 1:33; Acts 1:1-8).

A. Jewish believers (Acts 2). Those who repent and are baptized in
Jesus’ name (and also those God will “call” later) are promised
“the gift of the Holy Spirit” (2:38-39; see also 5:32).

B. Gentile believers (Acts 10-11). Those who received the Spirit
are commanded to be baptized in water in Jesus’ name (10:48).

C. Every Christian (1 Cor. 12:13; compare 1 Cor. 10:1-4).

D. This occurs in connection with faith/baptism in water.

1. At baptism (Acts 2:38).

2. Before baptism (Acts 10).

3. After baptism (Acts 8).

III. The Spirit Empowers for Witness and Service (Acts 1:8; Mark
13:11; 1 Cor. 12:4-11).

IV. The Spirit Signifies the Intimate Presence of God and Jesus
(John 14:16-21; John 16:16; John 7:37-39; compare Isaiah 32:14-18;
43:25–44:5).

A. For holy living.

B. For guidance.

C. For ministry.
