John the Baptist said the Jesus would baptize with the Holy Spirit (Mark 1:8), and the Spirit of God rested on Jesus at his own baptism (Matthew 3:16).  Acts 2 describes the disciples of Jesus being baptized with the Holy Spirit as Jesus spoke of earlier (Acts 1:5).  We read about the miraculous effects of this baptism such as speaking in other languages, prophecying, seeing visions, etc.  The Holy Spirit is also spoken of as a gift, and so Holy Spirit baptism can be seen as receiving a gift, a very precious gift, God’s own Spirit, which is what makes possible the new life.  C.H.R.I.S.T. baptism is baptism of the Holy Spirit, which makes the cleansing, the new humanity, the repentance (changing of the mind), the new people, and the whole baptism possible.  It is not water that washes us, but God’s own Holy Spirit.
