Total Baptism

Spirit Baptism
Total Baptism

Jesus speaks of baptism when he speaks of his death and resurrection (Luke 12:50).  In this light we can see in baptism the core idea of death and resurrection.  Taken down into the water to die and brought back up raised.  Death and resurrection is the total baptism that Jesus was baptized with.  Jesus Christ was raised from the dead, therefore, the total baptism is when we raise not only to a new life here, but to the total new life forever with God.  C.H.R.I.S.T. baptism is a total baptism in which we cling to our new life not only here and now, but also cling to the hope that Christ will raise us from the dead into eternity with him.
