Four views on New Testament baptisms
John's baptism Baptism of suffering Water baptism Baptism in the Holy Spirit
31
John's baptism

33
Water baptism
Connected with the experience of salvation (Matt 28:19)
34
Baptism in the Holy Spirit
Acts 1:5 Terminology: KJV translates baptism with the Holy Ghost Greek preposition "en" is most accurately translated "in" "covered with water" "immersed in a life of suffering and pain" The most correct translation would be baptism in the Holy Spirit Baptism-to cause something to be dipped or immersed
35
Summary of 2 variant views on baptism number one :
Baptism in the Holy Spirit is an experience that is distinct from and additional to salvation which must be sought and obtained by the believer (Pentecostal/charismatic) - a believer may be saved without this experience - without this experience one is not fully sanctified and does not have full power for service
36
Summary of 2 variant views number two:
The baptism in the Holy Spirit is in event synchronous knows with the reception of Christ which is never repeated and need not be sought -it is impossible to be saved with experience the baptism in the Holy Spirit (evangelical view)
37

God's plan of redemption
Genesis 1-11=all nations Genesis 12 to ascension=one nation (Jews) God focuses plan Ascension to second coming=all nations (the church/his body) one nation -> one messiah -> all nations (greater wide spread of gospel through body of Christ)

66
Gifts of revelation: distinguishing of spirits
Diakriseis pneumaton literally "a judging through" or "piercing the outward" Basic scripture: 2 Cor. 4:18, 10:1-6, 11:13-15, eph. 6:11-12, 1 John 4:1 Basic principles of satanic activity: 1. Satan is not God, not omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient, or eternal 2. Satan is accountable to God (job 1:6-7, 11-12) 3. The foundation of satanic temptation is always in two areas: -he comes to us subtly in a place where we feel comfortable , he attacks god's character 4. Our personal and public victories are always rooted in obedience and surrender (gen. 3/2 Cor. 10/ rev. 12)
67
Examples that illustrate the need for "piercing the outward"
Matt. 12:22-24 1. Physical problems are sometimes rooted in the demonic Matt. 12:22-24 2. Physical problem are sometimes rooted in un-confessed sin and guilt Mark 2:8-11 3. Heart motivations are sometimes disconnected from outward behavior Acts 8:17-24

79
The release of the Holy Spirit
John 7:37-39: the promise of the Holy Spirit Jesus equates thirst and desire Principle: relationship with Jesus and the inward release of his spirit to touch others is dramatically connected to the intensity of our spiritual desire
80
Release of Holy Spirit : 3 things that cause us to live as thirsty disciples
1. Exposing the dark hidden area of our life to the light John 4:7-10, John 4:15-19 2. Guarding our life from spiritual substitutions Jeremiah 2:11-13 Broken cisterns created in 2 ways *by attempting to store up past spiritual encounters and not looking to the Lord daily *by making idolatrous substitutions 3. By persevering through times of great personal pain Psalm 42

84
3 types of guidance that a christian can experience
1. Unconditional - where God leads related to his sovereign will 2. Conditional - where God leads in response to our surrender 3. Relational - where God leads out of intimacy
85
How do we develop relational guidance ?
We prove the will of God Prove=dokimazo Thayer: to test, examine, scrutinize to see whether a thing is genuine Luke 14:19
86
There are 7 motivational gifts:
1. Prophecy = the eyes of the body 2. Ministering/serving/helps = the hands of the body (meeting needs) 3. Teaching = direction for the body / guide 4. Exhortation / encouragement = the mouth of the body 5. Giving = the arms of the body 6. Administration/leadership= focus for the body 7. Mercy = the heart of the body
87
In number 3 (our relationship to others) we should have:
A humble confidence in accepting and practicing the gifts God has given to us Humility is accepting what God says about you (nothing more and nothing less) and receiving the gifts God has given to you A submission in accepting and receiving the gifts God has given to others
88
