Summary: A complete message on Baptism

I told long back that “If you Born Twice than you would die only once” But if you “Born once than you die Twice”

1 Corinthians 15:44-48 (NKJV)

44 It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. 45 And so it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being.” The last Adam becamea life-giving spirit.

46 However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual. 47 The first man was of the earth, made of dust; the second Man is the Lord from heaven. 48 As was the man of dust, so also are those who are made of dust; and as is the heavenly Man, so also are those who are heavenly. 49 And as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear[c] the image of the heavenly Man.

Let us see in NLT version

1 Corinthians 15:44-48 (NLT)

44 They are buried as natural human bodies, but they will be raised as spiritual bodies. For just as there are natural bodies, there are also spiritual bodies. 45 The Scriptures tell us, “The first man, Adam, became a living person.”[a] But the last Adam—that is, Christ—is a life-giving Spirit. 46 What comes first is the natural body, then the spiritual body comes later. 47 Adam, the first man, was made from the dust of the earth, while Christ, the second man, came from heaven. 48 Earthly people are like the earthly man, and heavenly people are like the heavenly man. 49 Just as we are now like the earthly man, we will someday be like[b] the heavenly man.

When God sees from Heaven

========================

There are two kinds of people in this world. When God sees from heaven to Earth he see two type of people. One is Natural and the other kind is called Spiritual. When God sees from above he does not sees how many are Christians and how many are Hindu and how many are Muslims. When

He sees, he found two categories only

(1) Natural = Earthly (Natural) People - Born of Woman

(2) Spiritual = Heavenly People - Born of God

First Adam and Second Adam

========================

Bible further explains that there was a First Adam who is Adam and he taken from dust of the Earth and there are many in the World who are like First Adam but there was another Man called “Second Adam” and He was from Heavens and as he is from Heavens there are many more who are like “Second Adam”. I was thinking about these two categories that who they will be?

How they live like on this Earth? How I can identify them that who are who? What kind of life they are living? Let us examine the first category..

Earthly (Natural) People - Born of Woman

==================================

Job 14:1-3 (NKJV)

1 “Man who is born of woman, Is of few days and full of trouble.

2 He comes forth like a flower and fades away; He flees like a shadow and does not continue.

Bible says, man who born of Woman is for few days and full of Trouble. He is the flower which fades away ..

This is word of God says, man who Born of Woman is for few days and full of trouble. Have you seen anybody in this World who is not Born of Woman? Anybody who fall from Heaven? if you are there please raise your hand.

Woman is a Channel to enter in this World

Bible says, woman is the only channel to enter in this world. You can’t come in this world without woman? Even When the Son of God had to come he had to come through this channel only. The bible declares that whoever born of Woman has few days and full of troubles.

Expiry Date – Rich and King

======================

That’s true in this World, today 7.4 billion people lives and no one live permanently. Everybody has an expiry date which we don’t know even young man died in early age in spite of they live in palace. Everybody has an expiry date. We are born of woman and we have few days with full of Troubles. The rich people you see here, you think they are problem free !!! No they take sleeping pills to sleep they have more worries then us.

Everybody has unique problem they are fighting and struggling to takeover victory but life is too short to take victory. When our problem will get over ? It will never because we are Born of Woman and we are for few days..

So the first category is “Earthly People” who born of Woman but the entire World and population is born of God than what is that second category which God is watching from Heaven? Remember what God sees from Heaven he sees two type of people (1) Earthly People (2) Heavenly People.

Now who is that second Category? Did they not Born from woman? Are they really fall from Heaven?

Let us see second category

Heavenly People - Born of God

=========================

1 John 5:4 (NKJV)

4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our[a] faith.

Now here Bible talks about another category of people, those are born of God. How can a person Born of God when he is Born of Woman? Anybody has any idea? The same question asked by one religious leader of Jesus time. He knew all OLD TESTAMENT by heart but he did not know how to be born of God? Do we have to go back again to our Mother’s womb? Let us read that passage …

John 3:1- 7 ( Born Again )

1 There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. 2 This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.” 3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” 4 Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” 5 Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’

God is Spirit = You have to Born of Spirit

=================================

Bible says, God is Spirit & you have to be Born of Spirit means you have to be Born of God. When you Born of Woman you live in Woman DESH (Watan) but if you Born of God you will live God’s DESH.

Living in USA : If you want to live in UAE or USA you have to have nationality of these countries otherwise you have to go back one day. The same way to live in Heaven you don’t need visa rather you need nationality.

The same way this old man, very intelligent, very qualified, big scholar but unable to understand this point that how a person who is Born of God can be “Born Again” by God?

Physical Demonstration

====================

Call a person and teach the congregation how a person who Born of God can die in Water and raise up as new person “Born of God”.

Romans 6:4 (NKJV)

4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

This is the Only Way to die before your death and the only way to Born without Woman. Hallelujah

WHY WE TAKE BAPTISM

====================

BEFORE CROSS : Jesus told to Nicodemis that you have to Born of God and Water. You can’t see the Kingdom of Heaven. Your good work will not take you to Heavens. To enter Heaven you have to have Heavenly Nationality, to have Heavenly Nationality you have to forsake your present Nationality.

AFTER CROSS : Jesus told His father that please let me go once again to say clearly about “Being Born Again” these people don’t understand clearly. Jesus stayed 40 days after resurrection and bible does not talk in details what he spoke but three things are very clear and loud.

1. Preach the Gospel & Make Disciples

2. Whoever believe, Baptize that person

3. Wait for the Holy Spirit

BUT MY BAPTISM IS ALREADY DONE IN CHILDHOOD

==========================================

Let us read what bible and Jesus says about Baptism. When we should take baptism?

Mark 16:15-16 (NKJV)

15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.

This is very clear that a person who believes will be baptized. Now tell me about small child,

• You baptize the child

• You give Azaan* in the ear of the child = (Azan* means Muslim call for pray)

• You sing Bhajan* for Child = Bahan* means Hindu Worship song

A child does not know what is happening with him. Bible says, He who believe and baptized will be saved. Now tell me, did child believe anything? A young man can only understand and believe so he is eligible to be baptized.

Believe in your Heart and Speak from your Mouth

=========================================

Second condition is that you have to believe in your Heart and speak from your mouth.

Romans 10:9 (NKJV)

9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

This is what exactly the Philip did with Eunuch before Baptizing him in Water.

Acts 8:35-38 (NKJV)

35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning at this Scripture, preached Jesus to him. 36 Now as they went down the road, they came to some water. And the eunuch said, “See, here is water. What hinders me from being baptized?” 37 Then Philip said, “If you believe with all your heart, you may.” And he answered and said, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.”[a] 38 So he commanded the chariot to stand still. And both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water, and he baptized him.

Baptism saves us

==============

Some people think that if you only believe is Jesus that is enough to be saved. That thief on the cross did not take Baptism but Jesus took him to Paradise. Yes, it’s true but it is before cross but after cross Jesus himself said “He who believe and Baptize will be saved he who does not will be condemn to Death” .

Peter also confirmed this in his letter..

1 Peter 3:20-21 (NKJV)

20 who formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine longsuffering waited[a] in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water. 21 There is also an antitype which now saves us—baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

It is not Conversion

=================

Many people who are mission and denomination oriented thinks that perhaps this is kind of conversion from one mission to another mission. First of all, I want to tell you that Jesus Christ did not bring Mission in this world. He brought a relationship that disconnected with father in Eden Garden. In the whole bible I have never read the word call mission.

There is no

• Catholic Mission in the bible..

• Charismatics

• Full gospel

• Half Gospel

• Pentecostal

• Baptist

• Methodist

• Anglican

• Presbyterian

• Church of Pakistan

• Bhai mission

• Ghota Mission

This is from the pit of Hell. Today whole Christianity is divided into Missions. One person from one Mission will not go to other mission church. Some missions are so fanatic that they will not say AMEN on your prayer.

This church is against Missions and Denominations. You are welcome here in spite of any Mission you belong to. We preach Jesus Christ who Crucified for you and me, We preach Father’s love who gave his only begotten son and We preach Holy Spirit (The Spirit of Christ) without Him we can’t worship Him in truth.

Fulfill the Righteousness of God

==========================

If you don’t want to come out from this Mission’s crap its fine we will never force you but tell me can’t you fulfill the righteousness of God by living in your own mission. Does your mission tell you not to obey God?

Bible says, in the last days there will be ONE JUDGE. Tell me who is that?

John 12:47-48 (NKJV)

47 And if anyone hears My words and does not believe,[a] I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. 48 He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him—the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day.

Two Baptism (Sea & River)

=======================

RED SEA

------------

When Israelites came out from Egypt they had to gone under two type of Baptism that was symbolic to a believer of Jesus Christ to go through in life. For example, The Israelites first came to RED SEA and it was open for them and all went through RED SEA, Bible called is Baptism of Moses (1-Cor 10:2).

JORDAN RIVER

---------------------

The national of Israel when they passed through RED SEA and advancing their journey towards promise Land God has brought them to another place called JORDAN RIVER. Notice this time there was NOT ANOTHER SEA but this time they all have to pass through River (Joshua Chapt. 3) and river symbolically represents “Holy Spirit”.

What does all these things represents in New Testament?

1. Deliverance from Egyptian = Deliverance from Sin

2. Going through RED SEA = Water Baptism

3. Going through River = Holy Spirit Baptism

4. Promise Land = New Jerusalem

Don’t Delay Baptism

=================

Acts 22:16 (NKJV)

16 And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.’
