I indeed baptise you with water unto repentance: Por ai që vjen pas meje është më i fuqishëm se unë, këpucët e të cilëve nuk jam i denjë të duroj: he shall baptise you with the Holy Ghost, Dhe me zjarr: whose fan is in his hand, dhe ai do të pastrojë me lehtësi dyshemenë e tij, dhe mblidhni grurin e tij në garues; Por ai do të djegë çakmakun me zjarr të pakonkurueshëm (Mat 3:11-12)
The baptism with the Holy Ghost and with fire
Çfarë do të thotë; Jesus will baptize you with the Holy Ghost, Dhe me zjarr? Në shumë kisha, it is taught, that when ju pendoheni, you will first be baptized with water, pas kësaj, 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, dëboj demonët, Shëro të sëmurët, etj.
Për shkak të këtij mësimi, many Christians are searching and longing for that fire baptism. Por çfarë thotë Bibla për pagëzimin me zjarr?
Në kapitullin e Mateut 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.
Megjithatë, why was John talking about the Day of Judgment? Because John was talking about the chaff, e cila do të digjet me zjarr të pakonkurueshëm. Why was John talking to the Pharisees and the Sadducees about the Day of Judgment, together with the baptism of fire?
The two baptisms
Gjoni me të vërtetë po flet për dy pagëzime: 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.
Askund në Bibël, 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. për fat të keq, 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, Ndodhi:
Suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, dhe mbushi gjithë shtëpinë ku ata ishin ulur. Dhe atyre iu shfaqën gjuhë të ndara si prej zjarri, dhe u ul mbi secilin prej tyre. Dhe të gjithë ishin të mbushur me Frymën e Shenjtë, dhe filloi të flasë në gjuhë të tjera, Ndërsa Fryma u dha atyre shqiptim (Aktet 2:2-4)
Cloven tongues like as of fire
We read that upon the believers appeared cloven tongues (gjuhë) si si të zjarrit, dhe u ul mbi secilin prej tyre. 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. Ishte vetëm baptism His disciples were waiting for. It is not written, se ata ishin të mbushur me Frymën e Shenjtë, and they were filled with fire. Nr, Të folurit në gjuhë të tjera (tongues) was the proof, that they were Baptised with the Holy Spirit. Kur morën Frymën e Shenjtë, they received power.
What does the word ‘baptism’ mesatare?
The Greek word ‘baptisma‘ means baptism. This word is derived from the word ‘baptise’ dhe mjetet: Për ta bërë Whelmed (do të thotë të mbulohet tërësisht me një lëng), për të rënë, për të larë, të zhyt.
Baptism means a full immersion. Pra, 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:
Pagëzimi me zjarr
The devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, ku janë bisha dhe profeti i rremë,and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. Dhe pashë një fron të madh të bardhë, dhe atë që u ul në të, Nga fytyra e kujt toka dhe parajsa ikën larg; dhe nuk u gjet vend për ta.
Dhe unë pashë të vdekurit, i vogël dhe i shkëlqyeshëm, Qëndro para Zotit; dhe librat u hapën: dhe u hap një libër tjetër, Cili është libri i jetës: dhe të vdekurit u gjykuan nga ato gjëra që ishin shkruar në libra, Sipas veprave të tyre. Dhe deti hoqi dorë nga të vdekurit që ishin në të; dhe vdekja dhe ferri i dorëzuan të vdekurit që ishin në to: dhe secili u gjykua sipas veprave të tyre. Dhe vdekja dhe ferri u hodhën në liqenin e zjarrit. Kjo është vdekja e dytë. Dhe kushdo që nuk u gjet i shkruar në librin e jetës, u hodh në liqenin e zjarrit (Revelations 20:10-15)
This is what John was talking about. John knew Jesus Christ, Biri i Perëndisë, dhe fuqinë e Tij. 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.
Jezusi erdhi në këtë tokë, 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.
A do të jetë Jezusi Shpëtimtari apo Gjykatësi juaj??
The father of this world(sistemi) është një mashtrues, a liar and he tries to captivate as many people as possible. He hates man (sepse ata janë kurora e krijimit të Zotit), 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. The only way to the Father is through Jesus Christ.
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. ju premtoj, it will be the best thing you can ever do in life.
