Are all Christians baptized into the body of Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit, not with water?
Yes. Scripture teaches that all believers—not only the super spiritual—are baptized into one body, not with water, but by the power of the Holy Spirit. This baptism of the Holy Spirit places both Jew and Gentile, bond and free, into that one Body.
Les explains that this baptism is not limited to the super spiritual or to those who have seemingly experienced some sort of a high; all are baptized. The baptism is not with water but by the power of the Holy Spirit into one body. Scripture knows only one body, the composite of true, born-again believers, who become members of the Body by the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Whether Jew or Gentile, bond or free, all have been made to drink into that one Spirit. Les contrasts this with the Gospels, where such language is absent.
