Eph. 4.5 “one Lord, one faith, one baptism”

Heb. 6.1-2 “1Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, 2of the doctrine of baptisms,

“One baptism”—“Two Baptisms”? Baptism is a solemn ceremonial act and is one and the same for all, by which believers in Christ are admitted into the fellowship of Christ’s Church, and which also is described as being baptized “into Christ”, a truly mystical encounter with God: Gal. 3.27 “For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.” What an interesting mind stretching scripture this is, it must certainly stimulate our spiritual curiosity. In addition, it must be noted that baptism has two separately but equally elements to it: initially being baptized in water, and subsequently being baptized in the Holy Spirit⎯one is outward dealing with sin and faith in Christ, and the other is inward dealing the spontaneity of life itself.

An angel is a messenger of God. But not all messengers are angels. The Vision Pt.1 concluded by looking closely at disciples of Christ, redeemed and regenerated believers, as being the messengers of God bringing forth visions to the Church. Most often the vision is the unveiling of a mystery, a hidden truth preserved in scriptures waiting to be revealed. These truths are preserved in the early writings of the Old Testament, being as shadows of their reality of the New Testament in Christ. If one sees my shadow they do not see me, they only see a vague, dark outline that precedes me. So too, though the historical elements of the Old Testament stands as facts, the mysteries of God’s plan and purpose for man are present in types and shadows awaiting their revelation.

Prov. 29.18 “Where there is no vision (revelation) the people perish (cast off restraint); But happy is he who keeps the law.”

Where there is no revelation of God’s will, His people become unrestrained, ungovernable, or disorderly. Everyone decides in their own mind what is right or wrong, good or bad. (Jud. 21.25) Once, I was driving a small boat on a lake and the steering mechanism broke. The motor could still provide all the power necessary to move the boat, but I could no longer steer the boat in the direction it should go. I was at the mercy of the winds to determine where I would go. Now, if direction and destiny are critical aspects of boating, should they not also be the most critical quintessential focus of the salvation of our souls? Or should our lives be determined by the prevailing winds of worldly circumstance, best judgments and good intensions?
