1.
If you belong to one of the Christian religions of this world, you may consider you have undergone the baptism of Jesus. But you may not have! Reading on, you will be able to find out when considering what God's word says on the subject.
JESUS BAPTISM, DIFFERENT TO JOHN'S
2.
John was appointed by God to prepare individuals preparing them for developments in the Kingdom plan
" In those days, John the Baptizer came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, saying,"Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!" Mat 3:1-2 (WEB).
John's immersion was undertaken by some Jews to mark a person's public expression of a remorseful attitude. A demonstration of their repentance (regret) over their personal misdemeanours committed against the Mosaic law covenant, to prepare for the one coming after John. He told them;
"I indeed baptize you in water for repentance, but he who comes after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to carry. He shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit", Mat 3:11 (WEB).
3.
John's baptism was an outward expression of a remorseful repentant attitude, it did not bring them forgiveness of their sins. It did prepare them for the one following who could actually remove their sin once and for all.
"The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world" John 1:29 (WEB)
"I didn't know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water: that he would be revealed to Israel" John 1:31 (WEB)
"I didn't recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water, he said to me, 'On whoever you will see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit." John 1:33 (WEB).
Baptism was a new concept, up until then Jews relied on the system of offering animal blood sacrifices at the temple in Jerusalem to give forgiveness of sins.
4.
John passed some of his followers to this Lamb of God for Kingdom activity. After Jesus death his unique dedication to death baptism became valid and operative, replacing John's repentance in preparation baptism, making it obsolete. Jesus' baptism could permanently remove sin from selected persons.

JESUS BAPTISM
5.
The baptism of Jesus was made "under the authority (in the name) of the Father, the Son, and Holy Spirit"
"Jesus came to them and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth. Go, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things which I commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Matthew 28:18-20 (WEB).
6.
An individual's water immersion in Jesus baptism involved much more than John's. The water immersion (baptism) of Jesus, was a dedicated signing into the terms of the Kingdom contract. It could only be done after having fully studied and agreed to the terms of the contract, its objectives and how it affected them. The 'lamb of God', the worlds passover sacrifice, would save first born ones (as patterned in Egypt). The bread and wine, symbolising taking the benefits of Christ's shed blood and sacrificed body. The power acquired by Jesus sacrifice was sufficient for Jesus to purchase a rebirth for 144,000, first reborn human Sons of God, owned by Him.

7.
Once these acquired knowledge they could make a serious personal decision, whether to commit to a contract agreeing to undergo a similar sacrificial death as Jesus,
"Don't you know that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him through baptism to (our) death, that just like Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life. For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will also be part of his resurrection; he who has died has been freed (acquitted) from (his) sin", Rom 6;2-7 (WEB).
8.
Agreeing to commit to Jesus baptism, they agree to undergo the same baptism of death as Jesus had undergone ,
"Jesus said to them, "You don't know what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? "They said to him, "We are able." Jesus said to them, "You shall indeed drink the cup that I drink, and you shall be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with" Mark 10:38-39 (WEB).
Paul said "What will they do who are (being) baptized for (becoming) the dead (ones)? If the dead aren't raised at all, why then are they baptized for the (purpose of dying)? " 1 Cor15:29 (WEB).
9.
All of these selected ones agree to sacrificially die a death similar to Jesus death, under the authority of his name. When agreeing the terms of this Kingdom contract with Jesus, they symbolise this pledge, by an act of water baptism 'in Jesus name' agreeing to undertake this extremely serious commitment undergoing a sacrificial death. After signing into this contract, provided they are accepted by God and Jesus, they receive a further immersion in holy spirit the activating power of this spirit force.
10.
It was this spirit power that removed their inherited Adamic sin and personal acquired sins, by masking it out, enabling them to be imputed up to God's acceptable standard for adoption as Sons of God,
Now why do you wait? Arise, be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.(Jesus)" Acts 22:16 (WEB).
These ones are restricted in number to a total of 144,000 all immersed (baptised) into one conglomerate group (or body)
"For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all made to drink into one Spirit", 1 Cor 12:13 (WEB).
Peter said to them: “Peter said to them, "Repent, and be baptized, everyone of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all who are far off, even as many as the Lord our God (Yhwh) will call to himself." Acts 2:38-39 (WEB) .
11.
Following their voluntary baptism, authorised by God and Jesus, their Adamic and personal sin is acquitted. Cancelled by the spirit power credited to Jesus, this spirit-force immerses them, acting as a cloaking devise, masking out their sin. Jesus ransom bought the power not only to cancel the Adamic inherited sin but also the personal sin of 144,000. Each of these could personally sin, because of their substandard weaknesses and deficits, likely to make mistakes. After being reborn these ones are still subject to this weakness, dealt with by an ongoing forgiveness or cancelling of these sins as committed, also based on the credit power purchased by Christ's death. By means of this ongoing forgiveness their mistakes (sins) are as if masked from God "blotted out" and so He is able to recognise them as if sin cleansed. To help them make up for their deficit condition the helping Holy spirit was provided.
Jesus announced ""When the Counselor (helper) has come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will testify (witness) about me" John 15:26 (WEB).
Jesus explained all personal sins are forgivable, except wilful sin and opposition (the same sin as Adam)
"Truly I say to you, all things will be forgiven the sons of men, no matter what sins and blasphemies they blasphemously commit. But should any who have holy spirit blaspheme against it, has no forgiveness forever, but is guilty of everlasting sin.” Mark 3:28-29 (W&H,/SJB).
Paul said "For if we (adopted Sons) sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, ... How much worse punishment, do you think, will he be judged worthy of, who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant with which he was sanctified an unholy thing, and has insulted the Spirit of (undeserved kindness with contempt)?" Heb 10:26-29 (WEB).
12.
This forgiveness concession is only available to these 144,000 because they are required to sacrifice sin cleansed lives in death. Once acquired each will submit to an individual sin cleansed sacrificial death, similar to Jesus. This requirement enables the next important development of this Kingdom plan. This unique dedication baptism to death was discontinued after the Apostles died. It is programmed to be re-activated again, two thousand years later, in April 2029,.

BAPTISM OF JESUS, BY WATER AND SPIRIT, INTO HIS SAME DEATH
WHO ARE INVITED TO BE BAPTISED INTO HIS DEATH?
Jesus baptism is exclusively for ones selected by God, who sign the Kingdom contract with Jesus. "
"He took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and gave to them, saying, "This is my body which is given for you. Do this in memory of me."He took the cup in like manner after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant (by virtue of) my blood, that which is poured out for you. But you are those who have continued with me in my temptations. I appoint (make a new covenant with you) for a kingdom, even as my Father has appointed (a new covenat with me for a kingdom), that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom. You will sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel." Luke 22:19-20, 28-30 (WEB).
14.
Those drawn by God who sign the Kingdom contract are purchased for God, by receiving credited power of Christ's from his sacrificed blood and body directly applied to each one of them. One hundred and forty-four thousand will be able to individually sign into this contract with the promised reward of obtaining thrones as kings in this royal Kingdom rulership, and of living stones making up the Temple with 144,001 building stones.
15.
"I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him one hundred forty-four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads (the possession of God and Jesus). They sing something like a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures and the elders. None could learn the song except the one hundred forty-four thousand, those who had been redeemed out of the earth. These are those who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are those who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed (purchased) by Jesus from among men, the first fruits to God and to the Lamb" Rev 14:1,3-4 (WEB).
16.
I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded (executed) for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God, They lived (came to life), and reigned with Christ one thousand years...This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over these, the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and will reign with him one thousand years." Rev 20:4,6 (WEB).
JOHN BAPTISES JESUS WITH A NEW BAPTISM
17.
Examining Jesus personal baptism by John and why he needed to get baptised, as presumably he had no sins to repent of. The date of Jesus baptism by John was specifically set by God. It was a unique dedication of himself from that time on to exclusively carry out the assignments God had scripted for him to a sacrificial death. He John submerged him drowning his own will and re-emerging to solely carry out God's will. It was at this time he received spirit power needed to carry out his miracle punctuated assignment. God stamped His verbal approval on this baptism arrangement.
"Jesus, when he was baptized, went up directly from the water: and behold, the heavens were opened to him. He saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming on him. Behold, a voice out of the heavens said, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." Mat 3:16-17 (WEB).
18.
Jesus three and a half year assignment was scheduled to end in his death, preprogrammed by God. Starting with his dedication baptism by John in October 29, and ended with his death and resurrection in April 33.
"Therefore when he (Jesus) comes into the world, he says, "Sacrifice and offering you didn't desire (old Jewish animal sacrifices and offerings), But a body did you prepared for me; In whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you had no pleasure. 'Behold, I have come (In the scroll of the book it is written of me) To do your will, God.'" ... He takes away the first, that he may establish the second, by which will we have been sanctified (set aside) through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all" Hebrews 10:5-10 (WEB).
EVERYTHING JESUS SAID AND DID WAS SCRIPTED BY HIS FATHER
19.
"For I spoke not from myself, but the Father who sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. I know that his commandment is eternal life. The things therefore which I speak, even as the Father has said to me, so I speak" John 12:49-50 (WEB).
"Jesus therefore answered them, "My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me. If anyone desires to do his will, he will know of the teaching, whether it is from God, or if I speak from myself" John 7:16-17 (WEB).
" The words that I tell you, I speak not from myself; but the Father living in (union with) me does his works" John 14:10 (WEB).
20.
Jesus 'first presence' activity started with his immersion (baptism) when he dedicated himself to exclusively carry out the assignment God had scripted for him. It entailed teaching persons selected by God the Kingdom construction plan and laying out prophecies and patterns. At the end of this three and a half year teaching program, at God's set time he was plunged into death, with God's promise to raise him back to life out of death after three and a half days. This entire three and a half year assignment starting with his baptism was focused toward his final immersion (baptism) into death. Successfully accomplishing it, brought him honours and rewards, the position of King of kings and High priest. Enabling him to receive the credited spirit powered he would bestow on those entering into the Kingdom covenant agreement.
BAPTISED WITH HOLY SPIRIT
21.
Following the water repentance baptism of John the Baptist, the Apostles underwent a three year Kingdom teaching program from Jesus although they were not always able to understand everything until after his death, when the spirit would became operative on their minds.
But Jesus said to them, "You don't know what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?"They said to him, "We are able." Jesus said to them, "You shall indeed drink the cup that I drink, and you shall be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with;" Mark 10:38-39 (WEB).
22.
Some of those who underwent water baptised by John who then accepted and put faith in what Jesus said were offered a contract with him in April 33 to become part of the Kingdom arrangement. They would need to agree to undergo the same type of death Jesus had, being submersed into it, "baptised into his death", descending into it. Before undergoing this death they received a rebirth.
"Jesus answered him, "Most assuredly, I tell you, unless one is born anew, he can't see the kingdom of God." Jesus answered, "Most assuredly I tell you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he can't enter into the kingdom of God!" John 3:3,5 (WEB).
"All we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death. We were buried therefore with him through baptism to (the) death, .. For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will also be (united with him in the likeness) of his resurrection; ... For he who has died has been freed (acquitted) from (his) sin" Romans 6:3-7 (WEB).
23.
The "baptism into his death" is an immersion into undergoing a similar death as his. Jesus death enabled him to receive the power to cancel out inherited and the personal sin of these 144,000. They died to their former inherited Adamic and personal sinful lives, emerging guilt free of sin by a rebirth. They could then be adopted as a full Sons of God, joining His family becoming fellow brothers of Jesus. This raised them to a new elevated position as newly created beings never before seen. It enabled them all to collectively carry out their assignments and the sacrificing of their own sin cleansed lives by a similar death as Jesus. "Baptised into his death" immersed in the purchased spirit power to cancel out their inherited and personal sin enabling them to voluntarily die sin cleansed sacrificial deaths as Jesus had.
He ... translated (transfered) us into the kingdom of (his beloved) Son of his love; in whom we have our (release by ransoming) redemption, through his blood, (for) the forgiveness of our sins;" Colossians 1:13-14. (WEB)
"In whom (Jesus) we have our (release by ransom) redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses (sins), according to the riches of his (undeserved kindness) grace" Ephesians 1:7 (WEB) .
"Therefore if anyone is in (union with) Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, they have become new" 2 Cor 5:17 (WEB).
ASPECTS OF JESUS BAPTISM
24.
1. WATER
Once a person is in an informed position, they can decide to make a personal dedication of their life to carry out the contractual terms of the Kingdom contract. Their free choice outwardly symbolised by a dedication immersion in water (baptism)
