Have you ever thought about God's commandments in the New Testament, the dos and the don'ts? What are they? Why the specific ones and not some other ones? Are they what God likes and dislikes? Are they what God thinks it is right or wrong? Definitely yes. But they are not only that. God through His commandments reveals Himself to us. What God ask us to be like is what He is like Himself. Through the commandments God reveals Himself to His children and asks them to be like Him. It's not easy, it's not easy to be like God in character, not at all. It is actually impossible for humans to be like God. We, God and man, have different natures. But this is why we are given the Holly Spirit for. Our fruit in life is not a result of our own capabilities, it would be impossible for us to do so, but a result of God Spirit's work in us. So the conclusion is that it is a necessity for God's children to be baptized in the Holly Spirit.
Matthew 5:44-48
"But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;......Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.'
