Most
of us have wanted something so badly that even though we knew it was
wrong, we plunged after it anyway. Later we have felt sorrow for our
spiritual stubbornness and stupidity. In the aftermath of willfully

or resigned to the consequences of our foolish mistake. But there is
another choice.

His faithfulness.

La respuesta corta y bíblica que une todo es lo que dice el apóstol Pablo en Efesios 4:5: "un solo Señor, una sola fe, un solo bautismo". Sin embargo, cuando escudriñamos el Nuevo Testamento, vemos que ese "único bautismo" y la experiencia cristiana se manifiestan en tres dimensiones o momentos distintos. Para explicárselo de una forma muy didáctica, podemos dividirlo en Tres Bautismos Espirituales y Una Ordenanza Externa. Los 3 Bautismos del Nuevo Testamento (La Dimensión Espiritual) Para que los hermanos lo entiendan de forma sencilla, la clave está en identificar quién es el que bautiza (el agente) y en qué elemento nos sumerge. La palabra bautismo viene del griego baptizo, que significa literalmente "sumergir" ...
