Word and no Man under the New Testament receives the Spirit through the Baptism of Water but through the Ministry of the New Testament which is the only Ministration of the Spirit To conclude this Baptism of the Spirit that is performed only by the Word is that Baptism of which so many excellent things are spoken in the New Testament As 1. This Baptism of the Spirit gives a new Nature and this Nature is a Divine Nature or the Nature of God and hence it is said Exept a Man be born of Water and the Spirit So that the Baptism of the Spirit gives a new Birth and so a new Nature And again That which is born of the Spirit is Spirit so that the Baptism of the Spirit makes us Spirit and through the Baptism of the Spirit we become that which the Spirit it self is And so the true Foundation of Christianity begins from Faith and the new Creature and not from Water-washing 2. This Baptism gives a new Name not Iohn or Thomas c. but as Christ saith Rev. 3. 12. I will write upon him 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 my new Name Our own Name is Sin and Ignorance and Pride and Injustice and Envy and Covetousness and Uncleanness and all Evil and this is the Name which the first Adam wrote upon but the Name the second Adam writes on us is Righteousness and Holiness and Truth and Love and Meekness and Wisdom and all Good and this is the Name the second Adam writes on us or his own new Name for Christ himself was Baptized by the Spirit into the Name of God that is was taken up into God and the things of God which are Himself as into the Truth Wisdom Justice Mercy Power c. and all the whole Flesh or Humanity of Christ even all his Members are Baptized into the same Name of God with Him and so are called by his new Name So that this Name of Christ this new Name which is given us by God through the Baptism of the Spirit is infinitely better than that Name which is given us by Parents or God-fathers in Water-Baptism 3. Christ's Baptism translates us into a new World Except a Man be born of that Water which is the Spirit he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God No Man can possibly enter into the Church of the New Testament which is the Kingdom of God but through the Baptism of the Spirit the Baptism of the Spirit makes a new Creature and this new Creature enters into a new World which is the new Ierusalem that comes down from God out of Heaven 4. Spirit-Baptism inables us to the same Work with Christ that is to the Ministry of the New Testament saith Christ The Spirit of the Lord is upon me for he hath Anointed me to Preach Isa. 61. 1. And he began his Ministry from his Spirit-Baptism which did immediately follow his Water-Baptism but was in no sort one Baptism with it and having thro' the opening the Heavens received the Spirit which taught him the Name of God he presently began to Teach the Name of God to others and Christ himself was not a Minister of the New Testament but thro' the Baptism of the Spirit Now all Believers that are Anointed with him in his Unction or which is all one are Baptized with him in one Baptism of Spirit are Anointed and Baptized to the same Ministry For the Anointing of the Spirit is the teaching of God and they that are taught of God themselves ought also to teach others and the Spirit of Christ is the Spirit of Prophecy and they that have received that Spirit must Prophecy as it is written It shall come to pass in the last days that I will pour out my Spirit upon all Flesh and your Sons and Daughters shall Prophecy which very place Peter Act. 2. applies to the Baptism of the Spirit so that this Spirit-Baptism of Christ makes all Prophets that partake of it 5. Spirit-Baptism makes all those One with Christ the Head who partake of it Gal. 3. 27. As many as havebeen Baptized into Christ have put on Christ so that by the true Baptism of the New Testament we do actually put on Christ and are made one with Christ and this is not done by any Water-washing but by the Spirit for through the gift of the Spirit only are we made one Flesh with Christ yea through this we necessarily become one Spirit with him too as it is said He that is joyned to the Lord is one Spirit so that not through Water but Spirit-Baptism do we put on Christ the Spirit carrying Us into Christ and bringing Christ into Us and being one and the same Spirit in both and this is to be Baptized into Christ. Now this Baptism that makes us one with Christ makes us to partake hoth of his Death and Resurrection 1. Through Baptism of the Spirit we are dipt into the Death of Christ Rom. 6. 3 4. Know ye not that somany of us as are Baptized into Iesus Christ are Baptized into his Death And this is as the Apostles unfolds it vers 6. The Crucifying of the old man with him that the Body of Sin may be destroyed that henceforth we should not serve Sin And all this is done not through any Water-wash but through the gift of the Spirit for it is through the Spirit only that we are able to mortifie the deeds of the Flesh and nothing but the presence of the Spirit in us is the destruction of Sin so that the Spirit of Christ Baptizes us into the death of Christ. 2. Spirit-Baptism makes us partake of his Resurrection as well as of his Death yea therefore do we dye with him that we may live a better life Rom. 6. 3 4. Therefore we are Buried with him by Baptism that is Spirit-Baptism into Death that like as Christ was raised up from the Dead by the Glory of the Father i. e. The Spirit so should we also live in newness of Life for if we have been planted together in the likeness of his Death we shall be also in the likeness of his Resurrection Where you see the same Baptism of the Spirit that makes us Dye with Christ doth also quicken us into his Resurrection and deprives us of our own Life not that we remain Dead but that it may communicate to us a better Life than our own even the Life of Christ himself that we that are Men may Live the very Life of the Son of God in our own Souls and Bodies and may be quickned with him and raised up with him and set in Heavenly places in him 6. As Spirit-Baptism makes us One with Christ the Head so with the Church the Body 1 Cor. 12. 13. For by one Spirit are we all Baptized into one Body whether we be Jews or Gentiles whether we be Bond or Free and have been all made to drink into one Spirit so that by drinking into one Spirit with the Church we become one Body
