• Baptism by the Holy Spirit is a wondrously unique
  experience. By that experience we are joined to
  the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 1213, Romans
  63, Galatians 327). Baptism by the Holy Spirit
  is not some extra-ordinary manifestation, for it
  happens to all believers.

• Question What is the baptism of the Holy
  Spirit?
• Answer The baptism of the Holy Spirit may be
  defined as that work whereby the Spirit of God
  places the believer into union with Christ and
  into union with other believers in the Body of
  Christ at the moment of salvation. (1
  Corinthians 1213 Romans 61-4)

The Scriptures Teach
1 Peter 321 (NASB) And corresponding to
that, baptism now saves you not the removal of

Romans 63-4
The Scriptures Teach
Romans 63-4 (NKJV) Or do you not know that
as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus

buried with Him through baptism into death, that
just as Christ was raised from the dead by the

Early Church Fathers
Early Church Fathers Taught
Shepherd of Hermas (90 A.D.)there is no other
repentance except that one when we descended into
the water and received the forgiveness of our
former sins. Justin (A.D. 140)Then they are
led by us to where there is water, and in the
manner by which we were regenerated they are
regenerated. Iranaeus (A.D. 160)remember
that we have received baptism for remission of
sins. Tertullian (A.D. 200)Baptism itself is
a bodily act, because we are immersed in water
but it has a spiritual effect, because we are set
free from sins.

John 35by Robert V. McCabeDBSJ 4 (Fall 1999)
85107www.dbts.edu/journals/1999/McCabe.pdf

• Jesus tightly connects water and spirit to
  remind Nicodemus of key aspects of Old Testament
  eschatological promises that focus on Gods
  purifying and transforming activity on behalf of
  his people. The terms water and spirit are
  used in Ezekiel 362527 to stress the Spirits
  future purification of His nation. Therefore, we
  conclude that born of water and the Spirit
  refers to the life-giving and purifying activity
  of the Spirit.

19

• One Birth occurs in water baptism when by faith
  one obeys the instructions of the Holy Spirit
  through the word to be baptized in the name of
  Jesus Christ for the remission of sins -

• Born of NOT equivalent with baptism!!
• Baptism is ONLY PART of the NEW BIRTH

brought us forth by the word of truth, that we
might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.

1 Corinthians 1213 (NKJV) 13 For by one Spirit
we were all baptized into one body--whether Jews
or Greeks, whether slaves or free--and have all
been made to drink into one Spirit.

• The Holy Spirit influences one to be baptized
  through that which He revealed
• He is NOT The element!

25

• When ones sins are forgiven that person is
  born again

with Him through faith in the working of God, who
raised Him from the dead.

BY - a primary preposition denoting (fixed)
position (in place, time or state), and (by
implication) instrumentality (medially or
constructively), Strong's Talking Greek Hebrew
Dictionary

• The preposition "by" has the idea of
  instrumentality - not that we are baptized "with
  the Spirit"
• The Holy Spirit leads us by the
  instrument of the word to be baptized
  into Christ. (cf. 1 Peter 122-25)
• This baptism, (the one New Testament baptism), is
  water baptism. (Acts 812 238 1047,48)
