A son of God is baptised into the name of the Father by Christ. Joh 14:6. Immersion in the Father is our first connection to the circumcision of Christ. Circumcision is the process of our deliverance from the flesh. In contrast to circumcision, the discipline, or chastening, of the Lord is of the new man. It is for the purpose of training and bringing a son of God to fruitful maturity. Chastening is accompanied by sound doctrine, which is ‘the sincere milk of the word’ defining the culture of the Father’s house. 1Pe 2:1-3. The evidence of receiving seven Spirits from the Father, by the Holy Spirit, is the capacity to glorify the Father through the obedience of sonship. It is the capacity to be one Spirit in a marriage, which is the Father’s holy institution. Mal 2:11. It is also the capacity to raise children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. Eph 6:4.
The Father baptises a son of God into the Person of the Son. Joh 6:44-45. The first implication of immersion into the Son is that the Father makes a son of God a particular member of Christ’s body. This is the context of our participation in the agape meal.
We eat Christ’s flesh by coming to be built together on Him. We drink His blood by believing and obeying His word. Joh 6:35. The implication of partaking of this meal is our participation in Christ’s travail, through which we are being made worthy of the kingdom and established as part of the bride of Christ.
We are baptised in the Holy Spirit by the Son. Mat 3:11. This immersion is indicated by the capacity to speak in tongues. Act 2:4. A believer who is immersed in the Holy Spirit receives from Him the power of seven Spirits. They are enabled by seven Spirits to participate in the intercession and travail of Yahweh’s prayer fellowship, and to be a witness of Christ to the world as they journey with Him in the fellowship of His offering and sufferings.
