Share with me your belief on Baptism


QUESTION: The Bible is clear on Baptism; however, there are quite a few different interpretations on Baptism out there. I would love it if you would share with me your belief or interpretation about baptism?  
 The disciples were baptized with water for repentance. But in order for them to become fearless, and bold they need Jesus’ baptism – they need Jesus to baptize them with the Holy Spirit and fire. The disciples, in their fears, doubt, and feeling of hopelessness, Jesus comforted them with ‘peace.’ Then he breathed on them and told them to receive the Holy Spirit.


I believe that Jesus breathed on them the resurrection power, the same power that raised Jesus from the dead. The disciples were spiritually dead and in hiding. They were crippled by the fear of losing their lives, and the fear of ever being able to preach Christ again. The resurrection power of Christ Jesus breathed new life into them and raised the church up from death to life in the risen Christ.
