Mark 1:8 says…but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit. Every believer, everyone who calls themselves a disciple of Christ should seek and expect such a baptism with the Holy Spirit. Even Jesus was baptized with the Holy Spirit, as a separate experience from water baptism. Jesus commanded his disciples in Luke, “I am sending forth the promise of My Father upon you; but you are to stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.” The disciples needed to be empowered by the Holy Spirit before they went out and preached the gospel to all nations. If Jesus commanded it prior to service to Him, shouldn’t we be seeking such a baptism as this? What does baptism mean, and why is it so important?
