Why should we be baptised…

…with the Holy Spirit?

 

 

Baptism with the Holy Spirit is not a with the Holy Spirit has caused the denominational doctrine or option. It message of the Gospel to be level with is a need, whose aim is to perpetuate the the messages of some false gods that Christian faith. people worship.
As witness to the Lord Jesus and a minister of God, I can state, without a shadow of a doubt, that it is impossible to follow the Lord Jesus without being baptised with the Holy Spirit. In other words, it is impossible to be a Christian without being sealed by the Holy Spirit.
We have seen many ‘Christians’ striving to remain faithful to their calling, to their faith and to the Lord Jesus.
Unfortunately, all their effort has been in vain, for we live in a spiteful world that is contrary to the Christian faith. It is like the Christians who lived in the ‘House of Caesar’, in the times of the Roman emperors, when being a Christian meant being against Caesar and, consequently, having their lives at risk.
Times have changed, but the demons, the world and the risks are still the same. A Christian without the seal of the Holy Spirit is like a sea without water, a forest without trees, a body without spirit… It is like following a religion without knowing anything about it… Many people follow the Lord Jesus because of what they have heard about Him, but they do not know Him personally. What is the point in following the Lord Jesus because of what people say? What is the good of knowing there is a Saviour?
It is like a hungry person who hears about a delicious meal, but all he can do is to hope that one day he will be able to eat it. This is what has been happening in many churches worldwide—they promise the world and yet the people are suffering with pain, hunger, thirst and cold.
That is the reason why some churches are full of people with behavioural and sexual misconduct problems. That is why this filthy world has entered many churches, where Satan himself is ‘preaching’ with the Bible in his hands. The lack of baptism
A wonderful life begins when the person receives the baptism with the Spirit of Jesus. This baptism gives Christians all they need to assume their faith and live by it, without fear of backsliding.
Baptism with the Holy Spirit makes us know the Lord Jesus personally. We are guided by Him and no longer allow anyone to manipulate us, as can so often happen to those who are led by the deceitful appearance of religion.
Baptism with the Holy Spirit allows us to continually experience God Himself. Without the Holy Spirit, we do not know how to behave in this dark world or how to tell the difference between good and evil. The Holy Spirit helps us not to be led by human advice, which is sometimes diabolical.
Baptism or the seal of God gives us assurance of our salvation, prevents us from being deceived or deluded by our own weaknesses and motivates us to grow spiritually, so that we can serve the Lord better.
But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” (Acts 1.8)

God bless you.

Bishop Celso Junior
