The Baptism Of The Spirit Vs The Baptism in The Spirit

By Randall Nelsen

An important distinction must be made regarding Baptism. Being filled with the Spirit is not the same as the baptism of the Holy Spirit. The Baptism of the Spirit is when a person first accepts Christ and is born again; they receive Jesus Christ as Lord and savior and are Spiritually Baptized, or born again. A person cannot receive the Spirit of God until they accept Christ, and the exact moment that they accept him, the Holy spirit enters and indwells them. This is not the baptism of power or being filled the Holy spirit, it is the Baptism of rebirth and salvation where God in the form of the Holy Spirit first indwells a person.

Theology- Biblical Typology - By Randy Nelsen

Biblical Typology is the study of the symbols or types that link together the Natural and Spiritual Truths represented within the Holy Bible.Typology teaches people to link the carnal realm of this world with the spiritual realm of heaven, and it is also one of the reasons why Jesus used the Parable as a method of teaching his disciples.The definition of the Greek word for parable παραβολή (parabolē) is this, to set something beside something. It is to set one thing or concept beside another so that a comparison can be made.A Parable is a analogy,illustration or comparison The parable is a linking form of typology that connects the natural truth with the greater Spiritual truth. This is a scriptural example, Then Jesus asked, "What is the kingdom of God like? What shall I compare it to?Luke 13:18 . Typology is a symbol for a spiritual truth,and biblical Typology is the actual example within the scripture. I will use a well known illustration
