I'm going to do a little study on water baptism Or baptism. There's more to that than most people realize A lot of baptists don't realize that they think that when John the Baptist came baptizing that was the only Time that people were baptized, but it's not true Many how it gave you a chart up here. There are two baptisms in the Bible one is Holy Spirit the other one is water and And the reason we're going to do this is because when you go through the Bible, look up baptism, you will know whether it's water or Holy Spirit and you will know why. And that's the reason we're going to do this. A lot of people have it all found out. Baptism is always identification. No matter what kind of baptism, whether it's Holy Spirit or water, it's always identification. The Holy Spirit and identification is always equals salvation. Under water baptism, which is also identification, we have the baptism of Israel, John the Baptist, the baptism of Christ, the water baptism of the church, and finally the baptism of Israel, the final baptism which is the Holy Spirit. And so let's begin if you will. Oh, I'm going to read something to you from a book that I have on on it's called To be a Jew I have a bunch of these books in my library and then I always found that it was important To know the Jewish religion so I've got a bunch of these books in my Bible and I know her in my library at home So I know what the Jews thinking and how they think and actually there a lot of their thinking is pretty good better than most people in the world. But concerning baptism which they call immersion and that's what baptism is. Baptism becomes a word baptism means to immerse. Oh let me see I'm gonna read something to you here from this book that I have. Let's see here. Immersion in a kosher mikba, a mikba is sort of like a great big bathtub, sort of like we use for water baptism. One that ritually qualifies for that purpose has always been the Jewish right of purification. During temple days priest had to undergo immersion before being permitted to enter up on their sacred duties. Converts to Judaism, both men and women, must still undergo immersion in a mikba. Symbolic symbolizing a spiritual purification. So they realize that this doesn't cleanse anybody, it's just symbolizing a spiritual purification. As the final right of their conversion without which no conversion is valid, it is precisely this right which a Jewish wife must fulfill each month until after her menopause. While many writers on the subject of Mekba have martyled impressive evidence that there are also hygienic and medical advantages that the cure from the proper observance of this right, the primary purpose is nevertheless spiritual and character involving a cleansing of the mind, heart, and emotions, enabling a wife to bring herself once again and so forth, that the immersion and a mikba is not intended to be in lieu of a cleansing bath required by ordinary standards of hygiene is emphasized By the requirement that a bath must precede the immersion and the mikba, that's important. You probably don't see the importance of that, but it is important. A bath must precede the immersion and mikba. In fact, already cleaned. In fact, all dirt or foreign matter must be scrupulously cleaned off prior to immersion. Isn't that amazing? You know, when you and I get water baptized, we are already cleansed. Are we not? We are cleansed by the blood of Christ when we put our faith in Him. And so when we get water baptized, this is almost identical with the baptism that the Jews go through. And as they said, it's just symbolic of purification. And so with that in mind, we will begin our study water baptism with that in mind. In fact, all dirt or foreign matter must be scrupulously cleaned off prior to immersion. I think that's important because a lot of people, a lot of preachers I've talked to, always thought that John the Baptist was the first one that ever baptize anyone and that's just not true. Matthew chapter three, if you will, they turned the river into a mixer. Yeah. And the And the reason they did that is because water just wasn't easy to come by if they'd had a literal make-up, and they probably did somewhere in the area, but because there were so many people, the River Jordan was the handy thing to do. In those days came John Baptist preaching into wilderness of Judea and saying, repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying, the voice of one crying into wilderness, prepare you the way of the Lord, make His past straight. Verse 5, And then went out to Him Jerusalem, and all of you did it, and all the region ran about the Jordan, and were baptized by Him and the Jordan, confessing their sins. But when they saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to His baptism, He said unto them, Old generation of vipers, who have warned you to flee from the wrath to come. Even forth therefore fruits, meat, or befitting repentance, verse 11, I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. That means a change of mind, of course. But he who comes after me is my ear than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear. He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire. 12, whose fans in his hand, and so forth. Verse 13, then come with Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan unto John to be baptized by him. But John forbade him saying, I have need to be baptized of thee and come us out of me. And Jesus answering said unto him, suffer it to be so now for thus it become a thus to fulfill all righteousness. Then he consented unto him and Jesus when he was baptized went up straight way out of the water and low the heavens were open to him and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, lighting up on him, and low a voice from heaven saying, this is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased. So in these verses, and of course in Matthew and Mark, Luke and also in John, we have an account, but this is the most extensive account of the baptism of John. We already see the things that I have listed, first of all, Water baptism. This is what was happening here. Water baptism. John was baptizing Israel for what reason? Water baptism. Always remember, water baptism is identification. He was baptizing Israel. The king was going to be made manifest. So yes, so the king would be made manifest. what would that do? Israel was supposed to be identifying with their Messiah. Had they known the Bible, which they should have, they were aware of baptism which the baptism didn't cleanse them, they were supposed to be cleansed before the baptism. All the baptism was symbolic of their being clean purification. The water baptism that they went through was Israel's identification with the Lord Jesus Christ. That's what it was supposed to represent. That was John's baptism. It was a work. Water baptism is a work. It is always something we do. And then he said, along came Jesus Christ and he said in verse 15, Suffer to be so, for that's become a thus to fulfill all righteousness. This was Jesus Christ identification with Israel as their king, their Messiah. He fulfilled the law, the Old Testament law, he was fulfilling the Old Testament law, his identification with Israel and the law. It had to be to fulfill all righteousness. And then we see John's baptism, which was John presenting the Messiah that was his identification with Israel and the Messiah. And we see Christ's identification with Israel. And then on down in verse 17, and low a voice from heaven saying, this is my beloved son in whom I am well please. Notice God's identification with his son Jesus Christ. Baptism is always identification. And then the church, as you and I, when we get baptized we are always identifying with Jesus Christ as our Savior. Now with all these things in mind and finally in blasphemy there, Israel. When Israel finally identifies with God as their nation, that will take place at the beginning of the kingdom and that is holy spirit baptism. So we see all these things. So for that in mind turn over if you will to the Mark chapter 16. Mark chapter 16. In Mark chapter 16, by the way, did you know that a lot of Bible scholars such as he's a just teacher in Bible college in Texas. One of the most well-known, he has a bunch of different Bibles out with his name on him. Rirey? Rirey. Thank you. I couldn't get that name, Rirey. He can't explain these verses, so he said they're not in the original. That's a nice way to deal with it. If I can't explain it, they're not in the original. Well, that's great. But in verse 15, Mark chapter 16, and he said unto them, go ye in their all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. And he that believeth and his baptized shall be saved. What does that mean? He that believeth and his baptized, that's what Rairid says. He says that's probably what it is but since he really can't explain it, he doesn't know for sure. It's not in the original but it was in the original and it's written. He that believeth and his baptized shall be saved, but he that believeth not shall be damned. How come it doesn't say he that believeth not and is not baptized shall be damned? Think about it for just a minute. Remember what we just read? When you are water baptized you have to be clean already, right? You have to be clean. He that believeth and is baptized Isn't water baptism a work? Isn't that what we do? Well, in that case, I believe that this is water baptism because it would be a work. Well, if you believed and did anything, you believed. Well, once you believed, once you believed, you are baptized with the Holy Spirit and you are saved. I agree with that. Bill's right. I agree with that. But I don't think that's what this verse is about. I think this is a this is water baptism. Is the salvation their spiritual or physical? What's that? Is the salvation a reference to the spiritual or physical name? In this verse? Yeah, I believe it's what it means is very simply this. It's outward proof that I am saved. Great. So is a physical salvation because it's being protected by us? That's possible, but I don't think so. Pretty much not worth testimony to others. But once you do anything, and you do something else, you're already saved. So it doesn't matter what else you do, and anything you do, you're already saved. Once you believe you're saved. Yes, so you, and you can do anything else, and you're still saved. Let me read this to you one more time, okay, and the Jewish. Okay. He, let's see here, emphasized by the requirement that a bath must proceed the immersion in the mikba. In fact, all dirt or foreign matter must be scrupulously cleaned off prior to immersion. How does it get cleaned off by believing the gospel? It's that simple. I believe this is water baptism, and I'm going to show you why. I believe it. you could disagree if you like. I don't care. Let me show you why. I believe it. So go into Bibles to Acts. Let's see here. Chapter 22, I think, where I want to go. Yes, sir. Chapter 22. After the conversion of Saul, or Paul, let's see, verse 12. And one anionious, a debout man, according to the law, having a good report of all the Jews who dwelt there. came unto me and stood and said unto me, brother Saul received thy sight. And the same hour I looked upon him. And he said to God of our fathers has chosen thee that thou shalt know his will and see that just one and should hear the voice of his mouth, which he did, right? For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou has seen and heard. Stop right there, his Paul said, Certainly he is. Isn't he saved? Okay, yes he is. Who is Ananias? Isn't he a devout Jew? Look in verse 12, and one Ananias, a devout man, according to the law, having a good report of all the Jews who do out there. Now if that's true and it is, then wouldn't Ananias know the Jewish ritual of baptism? Wouldn't he know that? Wouldn't all the Jews know the Jewish ritual of baptism in this book here, written in his book? Wouldn't they know that? Wouldn't they know that in order to be baptized which is just ritualistic that you would have to be 100% clean first. Wouldn't they know that? Wouldn't Ananias and all the Jews know that you would have to be 100% clean first, which means what? If you put your faith in Christ and Christ, you're saved. You're already saved. Now then. What was the other person? The guy asked them. And there's water, can I give that to him? He said, well, if thou believeest thou may? X chapter 16. I think it's act 16. We'll go there, I believe shortly. But notice the next verse, verse 16. Notice the next verse, verse 16 here. But thou shalt be a witness unto all men in verse 15 of what thou hast seen and heard. And now, why tear yourself? Arise and be baptized. And wash away thy sins. Arise and be baptized. Isn't water baptism? It work, isn't it? And if it's a work, then does it wash away your sins? Calling on the name of the Lord. Arise and be baptized and wash away thy sins. Calling on the name of the Lord. What in the world does that mean? Well, did that publicly do? He did. That's what it means. Wash away your sins in the eyes of everybody around. Why would he need to do that? Because they knew that Paul was persecuting the church. Paul had solved to it that probably hundreds of people were murdered, didn't he? And what about Stephen? Wasn't Paul the one that was holding the clothes of Stephen? And anyone who held the clothes of the one who was the one that was saying, kill him? wasn't he the one? They knew that Paul persecuted the church, they knew that they knew what he'd done. They knew that he was a Pharisee. The Pharisees hated Christ. They knew all these and yet wash away thy sins in their eyes. Showing them that you are forgiven, you sins are forgiven. You're washing away your sins symbolically, it was a Jewish right. Paul was just symbolically doing what all the Jews did when they thought they were clean. That's all it means. You want to make people use that verse and say, well, you see there, you got to be water baptized. Yeah. I'm trying to think what person I'm by, but did Paul say to my client that baptized, not you, this is when he was in in the court. Yeah, in the first and first creating that's a good story too, by the way, there was a reason Paul said that, I believe we went over that once here, but I'm not sure. If we have time, we might take a look at that. X-Chapter 8, if you will. These are the verses that, no, by the way, do you understand after 22 verse 16, why Ananias would say, why Tariotsa, arise and be baptized and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord? You understand that? Because it was symbolic, it was symbolic of the Jews who were there knew what that meant. Most Gentiles and most preachers today have no idea. One of the reasons is they never went to the trouble of looking up Jewish tradition. Anyway, Acts chapter 8. In my opinion, one of the greatest evangelists of all time, second only to Paul is Philip. In Acts chapter 8, verse 35, then Philip opened up his mouth and began the same scripture and preached unto him Jesus. And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water. And the unique said, see here is water, what does hinder me to be baptized? Philip said, if thou believe is will all thy heart thou mayest, and the answer said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He was already saved, wasn't he? Absolutely. And then over here in Acts 2, Acts 2, Acts 2, Acts 2, Acts 2, verse 38, then Peter said unto them, repent and be baptized, every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins. and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Isn't baptism a work? You're not saved by a work. But it's the same thing that took place with Paul or Saul, the same thing. He was talking to Jews. The Jews were present. Then Peter said unto them, repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ. Repent, change your mind. And the name of Jesus Christ for should be because of the remission of sins. That should be the correct word. Not for, but because of the admission of sins. That's what the word for means. Yes, absolutely. It's a little Greek word, EIS. Now go back to Acts chapter 22, verse 16. Let's look at that verse one more time. Remember what he said. Because of the remission of sins, your sins are already forgiven. So you're being baptized symbolically. What does it do? It's your identification. if you always remember identification that's the key word with baptism. Holy Spirit baptism is God identifying with us. Yes. When I put my faith in Christ, God identifies with me and he gives me the Holy Spirit. That's the baptism of the Holy Spirit. When I get water baptized, baptized, it's my identification with Him. It's that simple. And so Peter said, in Acts chapter 2, repent and be baptized. That's our identification with him. Yes, I believe in him. He died on the cross. He paid for my sins. Therefore, I'm going to be water baptized, symbolic up, and we'll look at that shortly. Next chapter 22 verse 16, and now why carries out a rise and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, which literally means because of the forgiveness of sins. Because your sins are washed away. It was just a religious symbolic exercise that the Jews did, and if you were then those days and during that time you would be showing the Jews, I do believe that Christ is the Messiah, He's the Savior, and when you went through the baptism ritual, it was the same as the Old Testament Jews baptism, they would know exactly why you were being water peptide makes so much sense when you understand it, doesn't it? Over 15 says that, says Prathal's shall be a witness and then it says now why do you Terry, you know, go get baptized? Yeah, start being a witness, right? Yeah. Yeah, start being a witness. That's right. Absolutely. That's good. Start being a witness. And because baptism also is identification, don't identify, don't get baptized if you're not going to identify. Right. You're going to have to get drunk and identify it being the Christian. Yeah, you won't identify with much doing that way. I would test them on the show of the people. Yeah, it's simple when you understand and you have to understand why they were doing what the Jews were there, they're feeling about water baptism. When you understand that it makes it so simple. You have to force people to get their babies baptized and no reason what it's for the think it's gonna protect and save them but you know is this foolishness? Yeah just foolishness. Let me tell you what believers baptism? Yeah. Okay somebody brought it up go to 1 Corinthians chapter 1 if you will. 1 Corinthians chapter 1 and then we'll wind up with one question after this. In verse 14 Paul said to the church at Corinth if water baptism was necessary for salvation Then why would Paul say, I thank God that I baptize none of you, but Christmas and Gays? Well, any should say that I baptize in my own name. And I baptize also the household of stiffness, besides I know not whether I baptize any other. For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach to gospel. Not with wisdom of words, less the cross of Christ should be made of no effect. baptism is very simply part of our service to Christ. It's our service. Has nothing to do with salvation if it was, then Paul would have said, I wish on a baptize every one of you. But why would Paul say that at the very beginning of the book? There's a reason for that, not to be what it is in chapter 15. There's a reason why Paul said that right at the very beginning of the book. In 1 Corinthians chapter 15, verse 12, Paul said, I have Christ be preached that he rose from the dead. How say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? Well, I'll be darn. But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then his Christ is not risen. And if Christ be not risen, then his are preaching vain. And your faith is also vain. literally means empty, profitless. And they were sixteen, and for the dead rise not, then it's not Christ raised. And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain, empty and worthless. You are yet in your sins. Then they also, who are fallen asleep and Christ are perished. In other words, everyone who has died in the past, who thought that Christ died on the cross with them, If Christ didn't rise again, then it's a waste of time. You're just plain dead. Yeah. And then we have a verse over here in verse 31, 29, rather. Then Paul says, else what shall they do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead rise not at all, why are they then baptized for the dead? schoolfield has a little note down here saying, but your baptized for the dead, that means that you go on and witness, but he's all wet. I believe he's all wet. Let's read that verse again. I remember Paul said, I'm glad I baptized none of you because you didn't believe in a resurrection, most of you don't believe in it. And then when he began chapter 15 he began with Verses one through four more over brother and I declare unto you the gospel It's pretty sad when somebody has to go into a church and declare the gospel, isn't it? There shouldn't they know the gospel? Yeah Which I preached unto you which also received and which you stand by Which also you are saved if you keep in memory what I preach on you unless you have believed in vain Why would he say that? Because if you don't believe Christ Rose again, it's a waste of time. You believed in vain. You really don't believe the gospel. I think the four of us should be to be dead. Where's that? In verse 29. I told one time to Mormons, they come over bringing that up and saying they do that to get people out of hell. And I told them that Paul wasn't telling these people to do that. He was saying it almost sarcastically just to throw it in their face. If you do that, and you believe this way, then what you're doing doesn't make any sense. Absolutely. And say to go do it, he just said you're doing it. Yeah. What they were doing was being baptized for the dead. Christ. Yeah. If Christ didn't rise, then you've been baptized for the dead. You're wasting your time. That's what he does. He's baptized in there. You're not going to rise for the dead, then you're going to be dead. You're going to be dead. Baptized for what? You're going to be dead. You've wasted your time. You've been baptized in the dead. Yeah. Look, Muhammad is dead, right? He didn't rise again, so I'm certainly not going to get baptized in a name of Muhammad But I'm going to get baptized in a name of Christ Symbolically when I get raised out of the water. I believe he rose again That's what it means and so Paul said you guys are being baptized for the dead if the dead rise not you have wasted your time It's all been You know, it's so simple, isn't it? I don't think it means for the dead people. It doesn't What it means is They who are baptized for the dead who he's talking about is Christ read again else what shall they do who are baptized for the dead If Christ didn't rise again, he's still dead. You're wasting your time. He's not the savior. He's not the Messiah He's not God He didn't rise again, right? That's what he's saying Else how what shall they do who are baptized for the dead big deal? Look at verse 12. Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, I'll say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead. Yes. You see? But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen. He's still dead. How can you get baptized? In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, symbolically believing that he rose from the dead, if you don't believe he rose from the dead. and then Paul said, I'm glad I baptized none of you. I don't blame him. I don't blame him. That's how he started the book. And then in chapter 15 verses 1 through 4, let me go back and read that again. Before I delivered unto you in verse 3, first of all, that which I also received that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that he was buried there, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures. That's part of the gospel. Christ died, what buried and rose again. But if you don't believe he rose again, then you don't believe the gospel. I mean, that's that simple. You're believing a personal gospel that you have one without the other two. Yeah. In verse 2 and verse 5, but now it's Christ risen from the dead and become the first fruits of them that slept. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. The resurrection they're all dead. Nobody's alive. That's the feast, the first fruits. The first fruits. So you got to believe he rose again. Otherwise there is no first fruits. For as an atom all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. If he didn't rise again, if he's not alive, if there's no resurrection, the whole Bible is worthless. That's what Paul Sam the whole thing is a waste of time. He drink and be married. Yeah, absolutely. And he says it too. Yeah, why don't you go to suffer for with the same? Yeah, yeah, if they really rise from the dead. Absolutely. Yeah, it's a good point. Yeah, it's a good point. Yeah, point us. And what is it? See, what are you saying? You guys are identifying with Christ. It's been. Your identity is vain. And not only that, how can God identify with you if he's not alive? Why am I so persecuted? Why would I? Why would I? And they said, verse 18, then they also who are falling asleep in Christ are dead, perished. Those who have already died. And that's why it's so foolish to say, well, I'm baptized for those who have died and gone on before so that I can keep witnessing. That's what the Mormons believe. No, no, no. They're all dead. Even those who have died before me, see, for what else they do who are baptized for the dead? That's not those who are dead Christians, because knows what he says in verse 18, then they also who are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. For in this life only we have hope in when Christ we are of all men most miserable. If Christ didn't rise again, there is no hope. They're trying to be baptized for unbelievers who are dead. No, no, no, they're being baptized symbolically in the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ. That's what they were, that's what you and I do, right? That's what Paul did. That's what Philip did, that's what not Philip the Ethiopian did. They were being baptized symbolically into death, burial, and resurrection of Christ, but they didn't believe in a resurrection. It's these people. Yeah, these Mormons take this verse and give it a whole different meaning. Oh, a whole different meaning. Yeah. Right, right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The court didn't believe that. Their problem was they didn't believe in a resurrection. It's that simple. That was the Sanhedrin. The Sanhedrin didn't believe in a resurrection. Yeah, they didn't believe in an afterlife. Oh, very common with people that do that. Here's the problem that they do. Right. I'll take them in. They have a Pharisee and they have the Sanhedrin and one dead one dead one dead one dead one dead one dead one. One dead believe in a resurrection is, yeah. Yeah. You have a question? Yeah, it's just my birthday or Easter. Like, why not Easter? like because bunnies and eggs don't have anything to do Easter and I thought an egg has to represent new life so I said doesn't an egg represent new life and he's like actually it's um the egg in the bunnie is uh he said the egg in the bunnie with a stab and a fertility well let me explain that to you okay the word Easter is only used one time in the Bible in book of Acts. And it really is not Easter at all. It's the Passover. The word Easter comes right. It's a mis-translation. That's why we have Easter Sunday. But Easter was really a worship of the goddess Esther, E-S-T-E-R. And it is a pagan religion. The egg represents It's the egg represents fertility and the bunny represents reproduction and all this stuff. Fortunately for us Christians, we don't, we might have the kids hunting eggs and all this stuff, but you know, whatever. But we celebrate the resurrection of Christ on Easter, that's, yeah. There's no such thing as eggs. Anyway, that's unfortunately, unfortunately the word Easter is a mistranslation, it shouldn't be there. It should be the Passover. It should be. So we just call a Passover Sunday for that one. Yeah. Yeah. I guess we could do that. Yeah. I had a joke with witness saying something like that to me. I was taking a witness until when I was a driver for the BA. And I just told him, I said, Oh, yeah. I padded him on the label and he were getting on. I said, Oh, well, I'm sorry. You're going to come when you die that. But believe in Lord Jesus Christ, if you I'll see you later. Okay, they got out and have a sit. That's awesome. You should see that, thank you. Just leave me with a little something. Yeah. Something to think about. Well, I had a joe wouldn't sleep my house once, and I didn't know where it came from. But she said, I suppose I'm going to hell when I die. And I said, if you say so. And they never came back. I said, you said it. I didn't say it. No, they don't believe it, but that's what she said. you say it. Wait wait wait here here's my whole thing with it is they believe in the hundred twenty thousand right there's it or the hundred forty thousand they believe there's gonna be a hundred forty thousand that are going to be they said they're gonna be in heaven correct. And aren't there like a couple million of them? So I mean, is there some they're getting left out you know I mean they said it doesn't work. Yeah they believe violation, all right? Yeah, that's what they believe. They don't believe they're gonna create a utopia here right after it. They don't believe in heaven and hell. They literally believe that when a person dies they're dead. The only thing they believe in is that there would be a kingdom on this earth and 144,000 are going into it. And what I'm sure leaves a lot of joy. I mean, the thing you've been in this aspect is like, well, if that's all the heaven, you're dead, you're dead. I mean, have weaves go around killing people because a wife absolutely means nothing. Yeah. You know? Yeah. I've read in the kingdom of the cults. They said that is because that Charles T. Ruskel, one of the founders, was thinking there was a congregation. It was part of some of the domination that preached hell to them so hard, so much that he just decided to write it out of the Bible. Yeah. It's decided he didn't like it. Yeah. Well, that takes place a lot today. I want to kick them all the time with Florida, I was invited to our start on the church. There's so little lady in there, she's running around like she's oooh, I'm on the chosen and she's strong room. The service was all excited. I'm on the chosen. How did you know that? How did you know that? Somebody told her that. I had gone guys come over talking about that, I had to just stop and I said, I said did you know that that stuff's on the future anyway not only is it Jews but it's future It's not happening right now. They're just froze. Maybe it was done fine. They didn't even have any clue about yeah, they were taking what with time frame It was being a preparation How is just they think that certain guy cast in the earth or world war one They're just us that go and stuff like from revelations that go on now. Yeah, I don't know about being seven years on I was watching one of those spiritual channels, and Nate said that, oh, it was Rod Parsley. And he was going on about Acts chapter 2, the Pentecost was taking place today. And I said, how in the world could you come to that conclusion? Pentecost was taking place today, and it can take place in your life. And I don't think any of you could. Pentecost was one point of time. So you're seeded? I have to keep going, but it's so your seeds don't. Yeah, yeah, it's unreal. I got one question for me close, it's very simple. What was Jesus Christ baptism? He told his disciples, how can you be baptized with the baptism? His future baptism, what did he mean by that? The answer is very simple. He was talking about going to the cross. So what was his baptism when he went to the cross? The baptism that I'm going to be baptized with, I'll give you my interpretation, okay? He was going to be immersed, because baptism means immersed. He was going to be immersed in the sins of the world while he hung on the cross. I believe that was the baptism that he was talking about. How can you be baptized with the baptism that I'm going to be baptized with? He was talking about going to the cross. In my opinion, that's… He's immersed with the sin of the world because nobody could. Nobody could accept for him except for him. That's why he keeps hearing when they can open the blood. How can I see him, yeah? That's my interpretation. He was going to be immersed in the sense of the world. So that's it. We're done. I didn't get to talk to you a minute after class. OK, don't mind. I don't mind. What's that? The back of the, yeah, actually, I'll give you the keys. I'll give you the keys. Why do you want to go to Walmart? I don't care, I don't care where they go. Let's have a word prayer and we'll close, okay? Dear Lord, we thank You for Your word, we thank You for the opportunity, Lord, just to identify with the Lord Jesus Christ. He identifies with us when He gives us the Holy Spirit, that's His identity with us. At least we can do is identify with Him in one way or another. Water baptism is the best witnessing is another. And dear Lord, we just thank You for Your word and His name, amen. I was going to say that it was 144,000 votes. They were the ultimate they were Jews, but now they're the ones I said no. They have never happened yet. They're in the future. They don't even give what you're saying. They just froze for a minute. He didn't say anything. He said, oh yeah, I don't know, he may have believed it had. I hit him before. But I don't want to name it right. Sometimes I just want to name it right. Right. That works for him. Thank you. Was it angry about him? Was it five? It's different in any other way. I had a lot of things that I know they did for him. But I didn't want to name it. Yeah, I just said he not want it. She's souped. Hopefully he didn't see it. I'm going to keep doing it. He said that's not it. He's not in vain no matter what. He said chances are most of you are people aren't in vain for him. Yeah, because Jesus even said he said they'll serve you and they'll be your friend. They'll scourge you in the synagogue and they'll bring you and they'll bring you before King's birth test. I don't think that's pretty neat. To them. You know, because that's all it is. You're just going to witness to these people so that when they're dead, they can go before God. You can say, remember when? Remember when? Don't tell me I'm not the rightful God. I sent my servant before him. And you human life, you didn't want it. You don't want it. You don't want it. You don't want it. It was a place he's good about 10 years ago, and I asked him how could you have the best as I go to bed. Oh, thank you. I don't know. I don't know.
