Baptized by Fire
Intro —>
—> Do you remember your baptism?
—> I ask that because we in the UMC believe in 1 baptism.
Whether you were baptized as an infant or later on in what is known as a believers baptism.
We believe that one baptism is sufficient.
—> So when I ask the question “do you remember your baptism?” there can be multiple answers, some will remember their baptism if it happened later in life.
—> I was baptized when I was 18, and I still don’t have a clear memory of it.
I do remember my brother’s baptism which was the first baptism I preformed 4 or 5 years later.
—> I remember the baptisms I preformed at Gladewater.
—> And I long for the day I can celebrate that sacred moment here at Longview FUMC.
—> But at the end of the day the reality is, baptism is not about simply getting wet.
—> The outward act isn’t as important as the inward commitment
—> John knows this look at his words to the crowd
—> the baptism that John offers was a way to prepare people for Jesus
—> The Jewish people had been “baptizing” people since the institution of the Law of Moses.
—> How does Jesus baptize?
—> Holy Spirit
—> Fire
The Holy Spirit is given, poured out during baptism.
The Holy Spirit is left after the water is dry.
The Fire is that of a cleansing, a preparation for what is to come.
—> the ceremony is over, its time to begin the work.
