Raised From the Watery Grave of Baptism We Become New Creatures in ChristHallelujah!(3) WE ARE NOT BURIED IN NEWNESS OF LIFE!RATHER THE BIBLE TEACHES THAT WE WALK IN NEWNESS OF LIFE!No, because GENNETHE, born, does not meanbaptized!Does the Bible say that being born in Spirit meansbaptized in the Spirit!(4) is imperative and is therefore a command. We have said that baptism in the Spirit is a promise and not a command. To say that the phrase means be baptized in water and in the Spirit is wrong interpretation.(5) BORN OF WATER AND SPIRIT, , is only one kind of rebirth, a birth of both water and Spirit.It is a state one enters into as he rises from the watery grave of baptism.In that state he enters the kingdom of much privileges and greater service, of which Jesus Himself is builder and king.
