Hi to all and BAPTISM / BAPTIZO in the OT is found in Heb 9:10 where WASHING / BAPTISMOS Which stood in MEAT / OFFERINGS , and in DRINK / OFFERINGS and in CARNAL ORDINANCES IMPOSED until the time of REFORMATION !!
In the Gospels , Matt 3:7 John the BAPTIZER came into the scene and his BAPTISM only lasted about 3 years !!
From Acts 1:5 we see that John's WATER BAPTISM / BAPTIZO is to be ABOLISHED and to be replaced with the BAPTISM of HOLY SPIRIT POWER !! No Greek article used before HOLY SPIRIT
We also see that from Acts 2:38 you will be BAPTIZED with the HOLY SPIRIT POWER !!
The verb WILL RECEIVE is in the Greek FUTURE TENSE and this means that Acts 2:38 is the NEAR VIEW !!
In Matt 3:7 the Pharisees and Sadducees came to John the BAPTISM / BAPTISMA and BAPTISMA just means that John is the ONLY BAPTIZER , until he was m Beheaded !!
The FAR VIEW will happen during Jacob's Trouble or the first 3 1/2 years of the Tribulation !!
So today there is ONE LORD , ONE FAITH and ONE BAPTIZER the Holy SPIRIT as the Greek word in Eph 4:5 context is not BAPTISM but the Greek word BAPTIZER and under the DISPENSATION of the GRACE of God , Paul could NEVER BAPTIZE and NEVER BAPTIZED , PERIOD !!
So those who believe in WATER BAPTISM need to dry their EARS and get over it !!
