1. Baptism
Ephesians 4:5
5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

2. Baptism in the Bible
• Baptism unto Moses 1Cor. 10:2
• Baptism of John the Baptist John 1:31
• Baptism of Suffering Mat. 20:23
• Baptism for Nation of Israel Acts 2:23
• Baptism for Gentiles 1Pet. 3:21
• Baptism of the Spirit 1Cor. 12:13
• Baptism of Fire Mat. 3:11-12

3. How can 7 = 1 ?
There is only one true Baptism, meaning the rest
are figures (types of pictures) of the one real.
God loves ‘shock value’. When you see
something that doesn’t look right in the Bible
its there to get you attention so God can teach
you something.

4. Baptism unto Moses

5. Baptism unto Moses
1 Corinthians 10:1-4
Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be
ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the
cloud, and all passed through the sea;
2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in
the sea;
3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank
of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock
was Christ.

6. Exodus 12:7

7. • They were under grace (no law given yet)
• Their journey started by exiting under the
blood of the lamb
• They left Egypt (picture of the world)
• Sea opened on either side,
• And the cloud covered them
• No Holy Ghost given as part of this Baptism

8. Baptism of John the Baptist

9. Mat. 3:11 John 1:31
I indeed baptize you with water unto
repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than
I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you
with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
And I knew him not: but that he should be made
manifest to Israel, therefore am I come
baptizing with water.

10. John the Baptist not part of ‘Church
age’
John 3:29
He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but
the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth
and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of
the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore
is fulfilled.

11. • Why is John come baptizing?
– That Jesus (Messiah) might be made manifest
• To whom is he manifest?
– Israel
John’s Baptism pictures the death and burial of a
sinner under the wrath of God. This is to
show the sinner (Nation) Messiah has come to
take his place.

12. The Picture explained
Matthew 3:13-15
13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan
unto John, to be baptized of him.
14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be
baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to
be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all
righteousness. Then he suffered him.

13. How does this ‘fulfil all
righteousness’?
Isaiah 53:12
Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall
divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out
his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the
transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made
intercession for the transgressors.

14. 2 Cor. 1:21
A Church age Christian is ‘in Christ’. You have
already had John the Baptist’s Baptism
because Jesus was baptized of him.

15. Baptism of Suffering

16. Mat. 20:22-23
… Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall
drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism
that I am baptized with?
When Jesus ask this he has already been
baptized in water by John 3yrs. before. He is
making reference to the next thing that will
happen- his death.

17. David and Jonah explain
Jonah 2:2-6 …out of the belly of hell cried I, and
thou headrest my voice. For thou hadst cast
me into the deep, in the midst of the
seas…The waters compassed me about, even
to the soul: the depth closed me round
about…yet hast thou brought up my life from
corruption…

18. David and Jonah explain
Ps. 88:4-18 I am counted with them that go
down into the pit… like the slain that lie in the
grave… Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in
darkness, in deeps thou hast afflicted me with
all thy waves.. Lord, why castest thou off my
soul? Thy fierce wrath goeth over me…

19. Gods wrath demonstrated
• Water
– Gen. 1:2, Isa 14, Jer. 4, Ezek. 28, 2Pet. 3, Gen. 7
• Fire
– The first Passover is a picture of Jesus the Lamb of
God; lets see what happened to the lamb in the
first Passover.

20. Passover lamb
Ex. 12:8-9
• Lamb was to be roasted
• Not raw
• Nor sodden at all with water
– John 19:28 …I thirst…
– Acts 2:27 …wilt not leave my soul in hell
– Rev. 1:18 …behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen;
and have the keys of hell and of death

21. Hell the wrath of God
Hell fire the wrath of God was poured out on
Jesus. Rev. 14:10
Rom. 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as
were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized
into his death?

1 Corinthians 12:13
13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one
body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles,
whether we be bond or free; and have been
all made to drink into one Spirit.

30. Colossians 2:10-12
10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of
all principality and power:
11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the
circumcision made without hands, in putting off
the body of the sins of the flesh by the
circumcision of Christ:
12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are
risen with him through the faith of the operation
of God, who hath raised him from the dead.

31. Romans 6:3
3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were
baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into
his death?
1 Corinthians 12:13-14
13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one
body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles,
whether we be bond or free; and have been
all made to drink into one Spirit.
14 For the body is not one member, but many.

32. Baptism of Fire

33. Baptism of Fire
Matthew 3:11
11 I indeed baptize you with water unto
repentance. but he that cometh after me is
mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy
to bear: he shall baptize you with
• the Holy Ghost,
• and with fire:

34. Matthew 3:12
12 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly
purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the
garner; but he will burn up the chaff with
unquenchable fire.
Mark 9:43
43 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for
thee to enter into life maimed, than having two
hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall
be quenched:

35. Gods final Judgment
Revelation 20:14
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of
fire. This is the second death.
Water and Fire are Gods expression of wrath
and judgment. A sinners eternal destination is
in the lake of fire. Probably some kind of liquid
fire (like lava). Rev.15:2
