Can you receive in baptism the holy ghost with unforgiveness?
No! you are always received forgiveness with Holy Ghost in Baptism because the person is being cleansed by water. 2 Cor 5:17 "Therefore if anyone is in Christ he is a New Creation, the old has gone, the new has come! Like in the story of Noah, the earth was washed anew & they began a new life with God. We are buried like Christ "immersed in water" and raised like Christ to a brand new life. When we are baptised we are showing God & others that we want our old self to die so we can began a new life dedicated to being like Christ.
How is life and death represented in baptism?
In an immersion baptism (where in the individual is buried in the water and then pulled up again) death is represented by the person being laid in or buried by the water. This can represent the death of the old person, the natural man, sin, or even the death of Christ - depending upon your personal religious beliefs. Life is represented by coming up out of the water. This can represent a new life in Christ, the resurrection of Christ, and rebirth.
What is the defining image of baptism?
The defining image of baptism is described in detail in Romans chapter 6. Here Paul describes baptism as entering into Christ and into his death. It is how one is crucified with Christ, buried with Christ, and raised with Christ (Colossians 2:11-14). Baptism is how one is freed from sin thereby becoming a servant of righteousness. It is a pledge to keep a clear conscience before God, and God therefore saves us in baptism (I Peter 3:21). It is how one receives forgiveness of past sins and the gift of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38). Baptism is how one is adopted as a child of God by entering into Christ and putting Christ on (Galatians 3:26, 27). Because baptism is a burial and resurrection with Christ, the action of total immersion as practiced in the early church is in keeping with this defining image, and the dramatic experience of burying the old self and arising to new life is accomplished in baptism as the defining event in one's life.
