    Quotes:

    • Water, baptism supposed to be an experience. You are immersed, baptized into the death of Christ. You come up out of that, risen as a new person actually having an experience of it.

    • What we're talking about here is major experiences in our life. If you're going from one level to the next, major advances in your walk with God.

    • Can you be baptized one time, two times, three times, four times, five times six?Yes. You can be baptized as many times as the Lord leads you to be baptized because you are expressing and you're entering into a new level of relationship with the Lord.
    • You're not approaching it as just a thing to do because you're a Christian or it's a sacrament. You're approaching with faith and with an anticipation 'cause you're expecting an experience with the Lord.
    • We can use baptism as a cleansing from sin, a forgiveness from sin, like the blood of Christ too.
    • I'm being baptized for the eradication o f the sin nature. Not just the forgiveness of sin, but the literal eradication of the very nature of sin within me. Believe that when I come out of that water, my sin nature has been crucified.
    • Christ's baptism in water. He came up out of the water and the Father said, this is my son, and who am I well pleased. But the evidence of the importance of baptism and the Holy Spirit comes out right there.
    • I'm totally in His death. I'm totally in His resurrection. Each thing that we're talking about. Salvation Immersion. All this is being baptized into Jesus.

      • References:

      Romans 6:3-5

      Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too may walk in newness of life For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection,

      Acts 2:38

      Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

      Matthew 3:13-17

      Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John.But John tried to deter him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?” Jesus replied, “Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John consented. As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”
      Mark 1:8
      I baptize you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”

      Takeaway:

      Today believers are reaching into the great provision of water baptism with a faith and anticipation to experience the total release from the sin nature and the impartation of the resurrection life of Christ in them. Baptism does not have to be a one time event, but can be an unfolding experience that you can express your faith in Christ provision today.
