Water baptism symbolizes the believer’s total trust in and total reliance on the Lord Jesus Christ, as well as a commitment to live obediently to Him. It also expresses unity with all the saints (Ephesians 2:19), that is, with every person in every nation on earth who is a member of the Body of Christ (Galatians 3:27–28). Water baptism conveys this and more, but it is not what saves us. Instead, we are saved by grace through faith, apart from works (Ephesians 2:8–9). We are baptized because our Lord commanded it: “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:19).
We are continuationists. We believe the church of the book of Acts is the pattern God expects from us. We are to be supernatural people. The Holy Spirit is at work among us today the same as he was in the New Testament.
But according to Paul…supernatural and structure are not enemies. He wrote to the Corinthian church to establish a structure for them…He was actually…in a loving way correcting them…They were enjoying the supernatural move the Holy Spirit so much it became selfish…they had turned a Godly desire into an impure pursuit.
