Thanks Brother Carlos..

I pretty much enjoyed reading whole your reply as to baptism.

I was able to make it clear what baptism with holy spirit and fire mean.

I think baptism in general means repentance for the past sin and willingness to accept Christian faith and its way of life, but baptism of Jesus by John the baptiser means completely different.


I think by accepting baptism by John the baptiser, Jesus demonstrated all humans ought to repent their sins and prepare for the Kingdom of God.

Jesus respected the role of John as a baptiser with water. But Jesus knew he (Jesus) would later baptise each individuals either with holy spirit or fire in the coming day of the last judgement, which is more important apparently. As a matter of fact Jesus didn't baptise people himself in his missionary.

John was at first reluctant to perform baptism on Jesus. Because John thought Jesus is greater than John. But because of the very same reason, John the baptiser was the right person who baptised people with water.

June is a rainy season in Japan. June in America in 1987 was a perfect month in temperature. June in England in 1991 was a season of little bit chilly and scattered shower.

June in 2010 might be humid. We are going to attend the meeting in spite of rain and humidity.

Sincerely yours,

Eiko
