If you read all of the apostles words you will find that all are not exactly the same, though the message is. Each wrote as he saw fit for the people of their time. Just as we see something or hear something and then relate it to others in written word or in speech, what we relate is true.
The book of Acts and Matthew are saying the same thing. Christ is the authority as given him by the father, the Holy Spirit sanctions the baptism so that it may be written in the Book of Heaven.
The Mikveh (baptism by water) is a ritual carried out by a qualified Jew to welcome a believer (usually a gentile) into the Congregation and Faith of Israel. Qualifications requires the belief and obedience of the Torah. Since gentiles of the christian churches are not of the Faith of Israel nor of the Congregation of Israel, they are not a part of Israel's Covenants. The gentiles, therefore, are making a false claim to an Office and the functions of that Office that belongs to Israel. The BAPTISM by FIRE was also promised to Israel and not to the church. For a gentile to be baptized by the HOLY SPIRIT, he has to be a part of the Covenant/Treaty of Israel.
It depends on your religion. My religion says if you accept Christ and get Baptised you will go to heaven, but if you don't accept Christ or you don't get baptised you will go to hell.
I baptize you in the name of the Father,the Son, and the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19). Saint Paul's affirmation: «For as many of you as were baptised into Christ, have put on Christ» (Gal 3,27), has become a baptismal hymn in the West (Ordo Baptismi parvulorum, n 67), as it is traditionally in the East and is found as Communion antiphon on Saturday of the Easter Octave.
At Baptism, the time when you make a public stand for your faith in Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit indwells you. Baptism isn't just a rite with water - it is the reception of the Holy Spirit. When you receive Christ you also receive his Spirit in your heart.
The spirit lead Jesus into the wilderness to fast and pray for 40 days.
To wash away all sins.....Baptism today stands for a renewal for the spirit........being baptised means you are one with the father the son and the holy spirit.
No. The risen Christ is still Jesus Christ. He rose bodily, not as a spirit. In the Trinity, the terms Father, Son, and Holy Spirit each refer to a different person, who is nevertheless still one God.
No, when you accept Jesus Christ, you get the Holy Spirit inside of you thus, your body becomes the temple of the Holy Spirit. You cannot have the Holy Spirit with you, just in you. When you sin, and you have accepted Jesus Christ, you feel bad because the Holy Spirit inside of you is sad because you sinned. The Holy Spirit is Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ is the Father, God. They are one.
No, the Holy Spirit is the Third Person of the Godhead; Father, Son and Holy Spirit as in Matthew 28:19.
At the baptism of Jesus Christ by John the baptist. While the spirit of God ascended from heaven a voice out of heaven said "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well-pleased." This account is recorded by Matthew in Matthew 3:15-17

The book of Acts says they came in large numbers and got baptised in the holy spirit.
When you (as a 6 year old) dunk your 3 year old brother in a puddle and your mum sees this happen & says: 'Why did you do that ?' & you reply you were baptising him, 'In the name of the Father, Son & in the hole he goes.......'
