This last Sunday, we wrapped up our Baptism Series with a teaching on the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. We believe that Jesus intended you to live a life completely submerged in His Holy Spirit. Throughout the New Testament we see the filling of the Holy Spirit as a repeated experience in the life of the believer. The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is a baptism of love. It's designed to purify you, to lead you, and to put God's glory on display through you. God has designed it so that for your whole life you are surrounded by and filled with the fire of His love so that you can become love. May we continually open ourselves up to be filled again with His Spirit that we might experience all that He has for us!
In this episode, Dr. Luke Arredondo continues our discussion of the theology of baptism, focusing especially on the necessity of Baptism, the symbols used in the liturgical celebration of baptism, and the link between baptism and discipleship.
Following our discussion of the biblical dimensions of Baptism in the previous episodes in this series, we now turn to consider more properly the theology of baptism. In this episode, Dr. Luke Arredondo higlights three particular ideas: What is a sacrament? How is Baptism related to the other sacraments of initiation? Finally, what are the various terms we might use to describe baptism, and what do each of them tell us about this sacrament?
In the Gospels, we see Jesus enter his public phase by receiving a baptism of water by John the Baptist, and at the end of his life he asks his disciples to baptize all the nations. We might say, then, that baptism forms the bookends of Jesus' earthly ministry. In this episode, Dr. Luke Arredondo explores the significance of baptism for Jesus and its connection to discipleship. Show Notes: In the Catechism of the Catholic Church, see paragraphs 1217-1222. In the Bible: The Ministry of John the Baptist (Matthew 3: 1-12; Mark 1: 1-4; Luke 3: 1-20) The Baptism of Jesus (Matthew 3: 13-17; Mark 1: 9-11; Luke 3: 21-22) The Necessity of Baptism (John 3: 3-5) Baptism of “Households” seen in the Acts of the Apostles (Acts 16: 27-34) Baptism as Death and Life (Romans 6: 1-14) From St. Basil: “The image of death is fulfilled in the water, and the Spirit gives us the pledge of life. Therefore it is clear why water is associated with the Spirit: because of baptism's dual purpose. On the one hand, the body of sin is destroyed, that it may never bear fruit for death. On the other hand, we are made to live by the Spirit, and bear fruit in holiness. The water receives our body as a tomb, and so becomes the image of death, while the Spirit pours in life-giving power, renewing in souls which were dead in sin the life they first possessed. This is what it means to be born again of water and Spirit: the water accomplishes our death, while the Spirit raises us to life.”
Often, when Christians think about baptism, we immediately turn to the New Testament, or speak about sacramental theology. But an important grounding for the sacraments is the rich biblical imagery evoked in the celebration of the sacraments, and in developing a full theology of the sacraments. In this episode, Dr. Luke Arredondo explores the deep Old Testament roots of baptism by turning to the prayer of the baptismal font. Show Notes In the Catechism of the Catholic Church, see paragraphs 1217-1222. In the Bible: Genesis 1: 1-2 Genesis 7-8 Exodus 14 Joshua 3
