| Publisher Description: This book contains 2 booklets. Booklet One titled, "Baptisms in New Testament Scriptures" reveals the plurality of baptism and also reveals the one baptism that was taught by Paul. Throughout the "Church history" through the many centuries many different "Christian sects" had/have understood and interpreted baptisms differently. Concerning water baptisms there were/are different practices of water baptism such as full immersion in water versus water sprinkling; water baptism of adults and youths versus water baptism of infants. There are also practices of water baptism and baptism of Holy Spirit as separate practices. To some "Christian sects" water baptism was/is essential to the salvation of the believers. To other "Christian sects" water baptism was/is not an essential part of the gospel of salvation. However, the Lord Jesus Christ commanded His apostles to make disciples and to baptize them into the name of the Father, also of the Son and also of the Holy Spirit as well as to teach believers to keep all His commandments. Despite all the different practices of baptisms b different "Christian sects" the true siginficance and importance of water baptism and baptism of Holy Spirit according to Scriptures were/are hardly explained by these "Christian sects. The purpose of this Booklet One is to reveal the truth concerning water baptisms, how they should be practised and the significance and importance of water baptism and baptism in Holy Spirit and how the practices of water baptism are related to the gospel of salvation. The second booklet titled, "Table of Lord" or popularly known as "communion" is released to reveal the true significance and importance of partaking Table of Lord to all true believers. Many so-called professing believers partake Table of Lord on weekly basis in so-called church gathering without understanding the significance and importance of partaking Table of Lord in relation to the gospel of salvation. Believers were/are mainly taught that the Lord Jesus Christ encouraged all His disciples to partake Table of Lord as often as possible. And they were taught that the reason for partaking Table of Lord was/is to remind them of what the Lord had done for them. And there were/are no teaching of the requirement on the part of the ones partaking Table of Lord to do anything. It was/is as if believers were reminded to be grateful to the Lord Jesus Christ for what He had done for them. The true significance and importance of partaking Table of Lord was/is hardly taught anywhere. Just as in the demonstration of washing of feet of the disciples by the Lord Jesus Christ, the significance and importance of partaking Table of Lord is not in the physical act of eating bread an drinking the cup. Its significance and importance is in the obedience to the gospel of salvation that all true believers were/are committed to do. The Catholic "Christian sect" practised the partaking of Table of Lord as the actual eating of the flesh of Jesus Christ and the drinking of the cup as the actual drinking of the blood of Christ. To a certain extent the Lutheran "Christian sect" also partake Table of Lord with the similar belief as the Catholics. Both the Catholics and the Lutherans believe the partaking of Table of Lord is an essential act to receiving everlasting life.The truth according to the scriptures is that the partaking of the Table of Lord is a continuing reminder nd teaching of the requirement of the New Covenant which is an essential part of the gospel of salvation, that believers must keep/obey till completion of their salvation journey. |
