Chapter 9: OPEN YOURSELF TO A NEW BAPTISM
Christians need to understand the full gospel, not just a gospella. “Such a gospel understands salvation as more than a moment and deeper than a decision, and it is shaped for more than a solo life. It understands salvation as God’s people being reformed by the Spirit and formed by Christ.”
BAPTISM IN THE STORY OF THE BIBLE. Baptism is long-time tradition, but it is often misunderstood.
ONE BAPTISM, NOT TWO, NOT THREE. Baptism is being baptized into the water and Spirit and fire baptism of Jesus.
BAPTISM IN THE THIRD DIMENSION. Death, resurrection, and Spirit.
WHAT BAPTISM MEANS: THE DANCE OF GRACE. “That’s what my and your baptism means: it means we have died to sin, Satan, systemic evil, and sickness. But it also means we can live our entire lives dancing before God—and before God alone—in the third dimension of the Spirit.”
