no.5 | Until now, I did not know the exact reason why Jesus received baptism from John the Baptist.
I was freed from legalistic faith and the doctrine of gradual repentance prayer, and received salvation.
I am infinitely grateful for the knowledge I received through Pastor Paul C. Jong’s book, “Have You Truly Been Born Again of Water and the Spirit?” Volume 1, about John the Baptist’s role and ministry for human salvation. Through this knowledge, I was freed from legalistic faith and the doctrine of gradual repentance prayer, and received salvation.
Previously, I did not know and did not consider that the sacrificial law of atonement with goats and bulls in the Old Testament was essential to fully understanding Jesus’ ministry for my salvation. And I only knew and believed that Jesus shed His blood and died for me on the cross.
However, I did not understand at all the biblical teaching that the transfer of sin must be done through the laying on of hands by the priest, and that John the Baptist was the representative of humanity, my representative, appointed by God. God transferred all my sins to Jesus through John the Baptist by giving Him baptism in the Jordan River. But until now, I did not know at all that before Jesus was crucified on the Cross of Calvary, He first received baptism to take over my past, present, and future sins.
But now, I believe in the gospel of grace of water and the Spirit and understand the meaning of the essential elements of salvation spoken of in the Bible:
The Spirit (Jesus is God and the Son of God)
Water (The baptism where Jesus took over the sins of the world from John the Baptist)
Blood (Jesus’ death on the cross)
I am now completely washed from sin and have complete assurance of my salvation, and have become a worthy one to serve God’s righteousness for the salvation of lost souls and the establishment of the assembly of the righteous.
Amen.
