THE REAL BAPTISM

 

Acts 11:16,: ‘Then I remembered what the Lord had said’ “John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.” Peter was explaining to the others why and what happened at the house of Cornelius; they weren’t too happy with his going to a Gentile’s house.

 

We are reminded once again of the difference between the baptism by John the Baptist which was for repentance,(water baptism) and the baptism of the Holy Spirit, (born from above) which all new believers receive, when they accept Jesus into their heart as Savior.

 

Verse 26 declares the Disciples were first called Christians at Antioch. Do not overlook the importance of this verse; it bears out the difference between religion and Christianity. Man created religion and God created Christianity; the Way. AMEN!
