Mna okunene ndinibhaptizela enguqukweni ngamanzi;: kodwa lowo uzayo emva kwam unamandla kunam, ozihlangu zakhe ndingakulingeneyo ukubathwala: yena uya kunibhaptiza ngoMoya oyiNgcwele, nangomlilo: ofeni yakhe isesandleni sakhe, awucamagushele isanda sakhe, ayibuthele kuvimba ingqolowa yakhe; Ke wona umququ uya kuwutshisa ngomlilo ongacimiyo (Mat 3:11-12)
Ubhaptizo ngoMoya oyiNgcwele nangomlilo
Ingaba ithetha ntoni; UYesu uya kukubhaptiza ngoMoya oyiNgcwele, nangomlilo? Kwiicawa ezininzi, iyafundiswa, ukuba nini uyaguquka, uya kubhaptizwa ngamanzi kuqala, emveni kwalonto, uya kubhaptizwa ngoMoya oyiNgcwele kwaye ke uya kubhaptizwa ngomlilo.
Kufundiswa ukuba ubhaptizo ngoMoya oyiNgcwele lwahlukile kunobhaptizo lomlilo. Ukuba ufumana ubhaptizo ngomlilo, awunakunqandwa kwaye uya kuba nako ukushumayela ivangeli, Khupha iidemon, uphila abagulayo, njl.
Ngenxa yale mfundiso, amaKristu amaninzi afuna kwaye alangazelela olo bhaptizo lomlilo. Kodwa ithini iBhayibhile ngobhaptizo lomlilo?
Kwisahluko sikaMateyu 3, UYohane wathetha ngobhaptizo loMoya oyiNgcwele nobhaptizo lomlilo. Unokutolika oku njengobhaptizo ezimbini ezenzelwe amaKristu.
Nangona kunjalo, kwakutheni ukuze uYohane athethe ngoMhla woMgwebo? Ngokuba uYohane wayethetha ngomququ, eya kutshiswa ngumlilo ongacimiyo. Kwakutheni ukuze uYohane athethe nabaFarisi nabaSadusi ngoMhla woMgwebo, kunye nobhaptizo lomlilo?
Olunye ubhaptizo
Ngokwenene uYohane uthetha ngeebhaptizo ezimbini: omnye ngoMoya oyiNgcwele kunye nobhaptizo lomlilo. Kodwa olu bhaptizo ngomlilo, ayilulo ubhaptizo, ukuba uninzi lwamakholwa lucinga ukuba luyiyo.
Akukho ndawo eBhayibhileni, ngaba uYesu uthetha ngobhaptizo lomlilo, ngokubhekisele kubhaptizo ngoMoya oyiNgcwele. Uthetha kuphela ngobhaptizo lwamanzi nobhaptizo ngoMoya oyiNgcwele. Ukubhaptizwa ngoMoya oyiNgcwele kwakwanele. Ngelishwa, sisoloko sikujongela phantsi ubhaptizo ngoMoya oyiNgcwele.
Ubhaptizo ngoMoya oyiNgcwele
Ngoku makhe sijonge ngoMhla wePentekoste, apho ubhaptizo olunyulu loMoya oyiNgcwele; idinga likaThixo, yathatha indawo:
Kwabakho ngesiquphe ezulwini isandi somoya ovuthuza ngamandla, wayizalisa yonke indlu ababehleli kuyo. Kwabonakala kubo iilwimi ezabekayo, ngathi zezomlilo, lwahlala phezu kwabo bonke ngabanye. Kwaye bonke bazaliswa nguMoya oyiNgcwele, baqala ukuthetha ngalwimi zimbi, njengoko umoya wabanika amazwi (IZenzo 2:2-4)
Iilwimi ezicandekileyo, ngathi zezomlilo
Sifunda ukuba phezu kwamakholwa kwabonakala iilwimi ezahluleleneyo (iilwimi) njengomlilo, wahlala phezu kwabo bonke ngabanye. UYesu abalandeli bakhe babhaptizwa, ngoMoya oyiNgcwele neelwimi ezahluleleneyo zazibubungqina.
Le yenye yobhaptizo: ubhaptizo ngoMoya oyiNgcwele, awathi uYesu wabathembisa abafundi bakhe. Yayiyi kuphela ubhaptizo abafundi bakhe babelulindile. Akubhalwanga, ukuba bazaliswa nguMoya oyiNgcwele, bazaliswa ngumlilo. Hayi, ukuthetha ngezinye iilwimi (iilwimi) yayibubungqina, ukuba babhaptizwa ngoMoya oyiNgcwele. Xa bamkela uMoya oyiNgcwele, banikwa amandla.
Lithini igama elithi ‘ubhaptizo’ thetha?
Igama lesiGrike ‘ubhaptizo‘ kuthetha ubhaptizo. Eli gama lithatyathwe kwigama elithi ‘ubhaptizo’ kwaye kuthetha: ukwenza ukuphumla (kuthetha ukugquma ngokupheleleyo ngolwelo), ukudipha, ukuhlamba, ukuntywilisela.
Ubhaptizo luthetha ukuntywiliselwa ngokupheleleyo. Ngoko, xa sibuyela kuMateyu 3, sifunda ukuba uYesu uya kuntywilisela ngokupheleleyo, okanye umntywilisele umntu ngokupheleleyo kuMoya oyiNgcwele kwaye umntywilisele ngokupheleleyo, okanye umntywilisele ngokupheleleyo emlilweni.
Ngomhla wePentekoste, ubhaptizo olupheleleyo ngoMoya oyiNgcwele lwenzeka, kodwa ubhaptizo oluzeleyo emlilweni akukenzeki, nangona iBhayibhile ithetha ngayo kwiSityhilelo 20:
Ubhaptizo ngomlilo
UMtyholi lowo ubalahlekisayo waphoswa edikeni lomlilo nesulfure, apho likhona irhamncwa nomprofeti wobuxoki,baya kuthuthunjelwa imini nobusuku, kuse emaphakadeni asemaphakadeni. Ndabona itrone enkulu emhlophe, nalowo wayehleli phezu kwayo, owasabayo umhlaba nezulu; azafunyanelwa ndawo ke.
Ndababona abafileyo, encinci kunye nenkulu, yima phambi koThixo; zavulwa iincwadi: nenye incwadi yavulwa, Yeyiphi incwadi yobomi: bagwetywa abafileyo ngezinto ezibhaliweyo ezincwadini ezo, ngokwemisebenzi yabo. Lwathi ulwandle lwabakhupha abafileyo abakulo; kwathi ukufa nelabafileyo kwabakhupha abafileyo abakhona: bagwetywa elowo ngokwemisebenzi yakhe. Kwaza ukufa nelabafileyo kwaphoswa edikeni lomlilo. Oko kukufa kwesibini. Kwaye nabani na ongafunyanwanga obhalwe kwincwadi yobomi waphoswa echibini lomlilo (Izityhilelo 20:10-15)
Yile nto wayethetha ngayo uYohane. UYohane wayemazi uYesu Kristu, uNyana kaThixo, namandla akhe. Wabelana ngolwazi lwakhe nabaFarisi nabaSadusi. Wayesazi ukuba uYesu unokubhaptiza ngoMoya oyiNgcwele. Kodwa wayesazi nokuba uYesu unamandla okugweba nokubhaptiza ngomlilo ongunaphakade.
UYesu weza kulo mhlaba, hayi njengoMgwebi okwangoku, kodwa njengoMsindisi. Weza kusindisa uluntu ekufeni ngonaphakade nakwintuthumbo nokuze aluxolelanise noThixo.
Ngaba uYesu uya kuba nguMsindisi okanye uMgwebi wakho?
Uyise weli hlabathi(inkqubo) ngumkhohlisi, ixoki kwaye uzama ukuthimba abantu abaninzi kangangoko. Umthiyile umntu (kuba zizithsaba zendalo kaThixo), kwaye ufuna ukubathabatha baye nabo echibini lomlilo, eliyindawo kanaphakade yena nabalandeli bakhe.
Kodwa uYesu uyakuthanda kakhulu, Wanikela ngobomi Bakhe ngenxa yakho. UyiNyaniso ebomini, kwaye konke Akufunayo kokona kulungileyo kuwe. Vumela uYesu abe nguMsindisi wakho, ndikuxolelanise noThixo. Makabuyisele umanyano noBawo, ukuba usathana webile. Ekuphela kwendlela eya kuBawo kungoYesu Kristu.
Ke ngoko vumela uYesu abe nguMsindisi wakho endaweni yoMgwebi wakho.
Ukuba awumamkeli njengoMsindisi wakho, ke yena uya kuba nguMgwebi wakho ngokuzenzekelayo. Xa Eba nguMgwebi wakho, indawo oya kuyo ayisayi kuba lizulu, kodwa isihogo. Kwaye xa indawo yakho yokugqibela iya kuba sisihogo, niya kubhaptizwa ngomlilo.
Masenze ukhetho olufanelekileyo, ngoku usenako ukwenza ukhetho, kwaye wenze uYesu uMsindisi neNkosi yakho. ndiyakuthembisa, iya kuba yeyona nto ilungileyo onokuyenza ebomini.
