How does the Holy Spirit baptize us into Christ?
The Holy Spirit baptizes believers by His invisible work, placing them into a new resurrected personage and into relationship with Christ in the Body of Christ. This baptism is spiritual, not water, and joins all believers—Jew or Gentile, bond or free—into one Body, making them one in Christ.
Les explains from I Corinthians chapter 12, verse 13, that by one Spirit we are all baptized. He points out that this verse is as dry as a bone, with not a drop of water in it, so it is not water baptism. Instead, it is the work of the Holy Spirit in the invisible realm, placing believers into that new resurrected personage and into relationship with Christ in the Body of Christ. So all believers are baptized into one Body, the Body of Christ. It makes no difference who or what they are as long as they are believers, whether Jew or Gentile, bond or free. There is no color line in the Body of Christ; all are baptized into that Body and are all one in Christ.
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.
