Could you please go further in depth about Jesus’ baptism being “book ended” with the crucifixion? Does that mean he’s baptized twice? Also, what do you mean by our being judged “in Christ”? In what sense? What’s the most anyone can say about that without sounding terribly vague?

[@chadbird1517]

He is baptized literally in the Jordan and he describes his crucifixion metaphorically as a "baptism" (Mark 10:38). As the last Adam, Jesus is the head of a new humanity (see Paul's Adam-Jesus typology in Romans 5 and 1 Corinthians 15). What happens to Jesus happens to and for all humanity. He is the representative human on the cross. God sees no other people outside him, and all people are in him. So when he is judged and condemned, so is humanity. When he dies and is buried, so is all humanity. And when he is raised, so is all humanity. Therefore, all those who are in him, who are baptized into his human body, there is no condemnation for them. The condemnation has passed. It already happened on the cross and grave. In Christ, we are free, justified, forgiven, and our lives are hidden with Christ in God.

Jesus received the Holy Spirit once he was baptized!

Was the spirit given with Johns baptism?

[@chadbird1517]

To Jesus, yes, but see Acts 19:1-7.

Great teaching My question is you said water baptism you get the HS . Or is it spirit baptism ? Water baptism never saves anyone.

Baptism of the indwelling Holy Spirit is the downpayment of salvation on the last day. John 6: 39, 40, 44. John 3: 5. NO baptism of the Holy Spirit NO salvation on the last day. Water baptism is for the carnal person. There is no sa;vation in water baptism. Baptism of the indwelling Holy Spirit is for Yahweh's born again anointed ONES. 1Peter 4: 1 John 3: 5. Matt 3: 17. Yahweh's literal genetic Son Yahshua was baptised with the promised indwelling Holy Spirit when He was 30 years old. Acts 2: 33. Yahweh sent His literal genetic Son Yahshua to show us the WAY. The only WAY to salvation is the baptism of the indwelling Holy Spirit. John 3: 5. The baptism of the indwelling Holy Spirit is Yahweh's promise of a NEW NAME at the second coming. Rev 2: 17 . A NEW NAME is Yahweh's promise of entering the gates to the CITY of Yahweh at the second coming. Rev 22: 14. . So it is written
