free person must undergo baptism once one is born again, for it reaffirms faith in Christ Jesus and signifies death to the flesh - being buried bodily and resurrected with the Son of God, from the watery grave, to forever live in the Spirit, as an Heir of God's Kingdom. Even when the one newly born of God in the Spirit, seems to have a Greater Calling or Anointing than ours, they still need to follow Jesus in being physically baptized and not withheld from doing so; "in this way, it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness," as one in the Body of Christ (Matt. 3:14-15).
Also, once God the Father acknowledges a new creation as His Child by the Gift of the Holy Spirit, "just as He also did to us," we should likewise endeavor to embrace them as our fellow Brethren and be supportive towards their baptism with generous love, for the continuous growth of God's advancing Kingdom (Acts 15:8, Eph. 4:16).
PRAYER: Dear Lord Jesus, Abba Father, thank You for granting me the Gift of the Holy Spirit and ensuring my immersion, to stay united in the Body of Christ. Please keep me loving to all, as a channel of Your Word, encouraging baptism for the souls He Saves,
Amen.
From Acts 10:47-48l
