The Holy Spirit: Solution to the Mediocre Christian Life ‘Spirit Baptism – It’s Just the Beginning!’ Jon Grant Worship Arts Pastor Sunday, July 28, 2013

“The Holy Spirit is the one who accomplishes in our hearts and souls those things that [water] baptism signifies” Leonard Vanderzee, ‘Christ, Baptism and the Lord’s Supper’ (94)

Spirit Baptism is all about: Initiation

Baptism Imagery… No one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again... no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. John 3:3,5

Baptism Imagery… He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit. Titus 3:5

Spirit Baptism is all about: Initiation Inclusion

Inclusion in Christ Don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?...just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. Romans 6:3-4

“It is not my faith or my decision and conversion…which washes away my sin. It is Christ’s vicarious baptism for us in blood on the cross, his death in which we, by grace, participate through water and the Spirit.” James Torrance ‘Worship, Community and the Triune God of Grace’ (34)

Inclusion in the Body of Christ For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free— and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. 1 Corinthians 12:13

“So we are baptize in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit into the community, the one body of Christ, which confesses one faith in the one God…we are baptized into a life of communion.” James Torrance ‘Worship, Community and the Triune God of Grace’ (22)

Spirit Baptism is all about: Initiation Inclusion Inheritance

When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance. Ephesians 1:13-14

“A major part of God’s daily saving work in our lives is God’s gift of God’s Spirit…baptism is continuing daily experience of God’s work in us.” William Willimon, ‘Remember Who You Are’ (79)

Not – I was baptized But – I AM baptized!
