I indeed baptise you with water unto repentance: Pero el que viene después de mí es más poderoso que yo, cuyos zapatos no soy digno de llevar: he shall baptise you with the Holy Ghost, y con fuego: whose fan is in his hand, y él purgará a través de su piso, y recoge su trigo en la Garner; Pero él quemará la paja con fuego indiscutible (Estera 3:11-12)
The baptism with the Holy Ghost and with fire
Qué significa; Jesus will baptize you with the Holy Ghost, y con fuego? En muchas iglesias, it is taught, that when te arrepientes, you will first be baptized with water, Después de eso, you will be baptized with the Holy Ghost and then you will be baptized with fire.
It is taught that the baptism with the Holy Ghost is different than the baptism with fire. If you receive the baptism with fire, you are unstoppable and you shall be able to preach the gospel, expulsar demonios, curar a los enfermos, etc..
Debido a esta enseñanza, many Christians are searching and longing for that fire baptism. Pero, ¿qué dice la Biblia sobre el bautismo con fuego??
En el capítulo de Matthew 3, John did speak about the baptism with the Holy Ghost and the baptism with fire. You could interpret this as two baptisms that are meant for Christians.
Sin embargo, why was John talking about the Day of Judgment? Because John was talking about the chaff, que se quemará con fuego indiscutible. Why was John talking to the Pharisees and the Sadducees about the Day of Judgment, together with the baptism of fire?
The two baptisms
De hecho, John está hablando de dos bautizos: one with the Holy Ghost and one baptism with fire. But this baptism with fire, is not the baptism, that most believers think it is.
En ninguna parte de la Biblia, is Jesus talking about a baptism with fire, in reference to the baptism with the Holy Ghost. He only talks about the baptism in water and the baptism with the Holy Ghost. The baptism with the Holy Ghost was sufficient. Desafortunadamente, we often underestimate the baptism with the Holy Spirit.
Baptism with the Holy Ghost
Now let’s have a look at the Day of Pentecost, where the pure baptism of the Holy Spirit; the promise of God, Ocurrió:
Suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, y llenó toda la casa donde estaban sentados. Y se les aparecieron lenguas trabadas como de fuego, y se sentó sobre cada uno de ellos. Y todos estaban llenos del Espíritu Santo, y comenzó a hablar en otras lenguas, Como el espíritu les dio enunciado (Hechos 2:2-4)
Cloven tongues like as of fire
We read that upon the believers appeared cloven tongues (lenguas) como de fuego, y se sentó sobre cada uno de ellos. Jesus His followers were baptized, with the Holy Ghost and the cloven tongues were a proof.
This is one of the baptisms: the baptism with the Holy Ghost, which Jesus promised His disciples. Era el solamente baptism His disciples were waiting for. It is not written, que estaban llenos del Espíritu Santo, and they were filled with fire. No, el habla en otros idiomas (tongues) was the proof, that they were Baptised with the Holy Spirit. Cuando recibieron el Espíritu Santo, they received power.
What does the word ‘baptism’ significar?
The Greek word ‘baptisma‘ means baptism. This word is derived from the word ‘baptise’ y significa: Para hacer que Whelmed (significa cubierta totalmente con un fluido), para sumergir, para lavar, sumergir.
Baptism means a full immersion. Entonces, when we go back to Matthew 3, we read that Jesus will fully immerse, or fully dip someone into the Holy Ghost and fully immerse, or fully dip someone into the fire.
On the day of Pentecost, the full immersion with the Holy Ghost took place, but the full immersion with fire has not happened yet, though the Bible talks about it in Revelation 20:
El bautismo con fuego
The devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are,and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. Y vi un gran trono blanco, y el que estaba sentado sobre él, De cuya presencia huyeron la tierra y el cielo; Y no fue hallado un lugar para ellos.
Y vi a los muertos, pequeño y grande, estar delante de Dios; y los libros fueron abiertos: y se abrió otro libro, cual es el libro de la vida: y los muertos fueron juzgados por las cosas que estaban escritas en los libros, según sus obras. Y el mar entregó los muertos que había en él.; y la muerte y el infierno entregaron los muertos que había en ellos: y fueron juzgados cada uno según sus obras. Y la muerte y el infierno fueron arrojados al lago de fuego.. Esta es la segunda muerte. Y el que no fue hallado escrito en el libro de la vida fue arrojado al lago de fuego. (Revelations 20:10-15)
This is what John was talking about. John knew Jesus Christ, el hijo de Dios, y su poder. He shared his knowledge with the Pharisees and Sadducees. He knew that Jesus could baptize with the Holy Spirit. But he also knew that Jesus had the power to judge and baptize with eternal fire.
Jesús vino a esta tierra, not as a Judge yet, but as a Savior. He came to save mankind from eternal death and torture and to reconcile them back to God.
¿Será Jesús tu Salvador o Juez??
The father of this world(sistema) is a deceiver, a liar and he tries to captivate as many people as possible. He hates man (Porque son la corona de la creación de Dios), and he wants to take them with him into the pool of fire, which is the eternal destination of him and his followers.
But Jesus loves you so much, He gave His life for you. He is the Truth in life, and all He wants is the best for you. Let Jesus become your Savior, and reconcile you to God. Let Him restore the union with the Father, that the devil stole. El único camino hacia el Padre es a través de Jesucristo.
Let therefore Jesus become your Savior instead of your Judge.
If you don’t accept Him as your Savior, then He will automatically become your Judge. When He becomes your Judge, your final destination will not be heaven, but hell. And when your final destination will be hell, you will be baptized with fire.
Let’s make the right choice, now that you still have the ability to make a choice, and make Jesus your Savior and Lord. te prometo que, it will be the best thing you can ever do in life.
'Sé la sal de la tierra’
