The Joy Of DisappointmentBen Ayala
While
in Bible college, I auditioned for one of the school’s traveling
musical teams. I was excited about the thought of being able to be
involved in that ministry, but was crushed when I failed to make the
team. In my disappointment, I could only trust that God’s purposes were
greater than mine.
Months
later, I had the opportunity to join a different musical team, but as
the Bible teacher. The results were more than I could have imagined.
Not only was my future wife a part of that team, allowing us to serve
Christ together, but it also gave me many opportunities to preach over
the next 3 years—priceless preparation for a life of ministry in the
Word. 
Many
times we struggle with the reality that our Father knows what is best.
We assume our way is right. But, as we rest in Him, His purposes always
prove to be for our good and His praise. To be honest, that’s easy to
see when the outcome is better than we had hoped, but difficult when we
can’t see the good right now or maybe won’t till heaven.
As
wise King Solomon said, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and
lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him,
and He shall direct your paths” (Prov. 3:5-6).

Para entenderlo con claridad y bajo una sana doctrina evangélica, debemos mirar el asunto desde dos perspectivas: la perspectiva teológica (lo que ocurre espiritualmente) y la perspectiva de las ordenanzas prácticas (lo que la iglesia ejecuta). 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" ...
