Comments by Alex on Luke 24 : 49 This Promise baptism was H.G. baptism not water baptism ,Behold i send the Promise of my FATHER upon you etc. remember John said he ( Jesus ) must increase but i must decrease impling that water baptism had to decrease and H.G baptism wd increase, Ya gotta realize that even in the O.T. they had to apply Blood to the door post not water. But now the blood is applied to the doorpost of our hearts,Without the shedding of blood there was no remission of sins . Water baptism was very important B/F the Cross but after the Cross it was the BLOOD of the lamb that we must Behold thats y John was preaching behold the lamb of God ( the blood ) that taketh away the sins of the world. Water cannot remit sins if it cd Jesus shed his blood in vain and the Cross was just foolishness. In fact there were some in the time of Paul that were so wrapped up in water baptism the preaching of the Cross was just foolishness and it is still like that today with some religions. Once ya understand the Holyness of the Cross his blood you will neva mention water baptism again for the remission of sins. One of Johns disciples was still preaching water baptism after the Cross but they had to go to him and show him a more Perfect way Acts 18 : 25 Which was H.G baptism. The Baptism of Promise That resulted from the Cross. His blood. Thats y the lord was so upset with Peter he was commanding water baptism instead of lifting up the Blood the lamb of God that made them Clean to the highest realm that water cd neva do. H.G BAPTISM IS THE ULTIMATE CLEASING MAKING A MAN MORE PRECIOUS THEN GOLD IN THE SIGHT OF GOD. Nothin can be added to it or Compared to it. Its the very mediation of a the new covenant. After that Peter understood the vision he said then remembered I the words of our LORD JOHN BAPTISED YOU WITH WATER BUT I WILL BAPTISE YOU WITH THE H.G. AND FIRE WHICH WAS THE BAPTISM OF PROMISE. All the UNCLEAN animals in that sheet was the CHURCH MADE CLEAN BY HIS BLOOD.
