We are to be baptized with the same baptism Yahshua had! Baptism according to Yahweh's Way was instituted long before Yahshua Messiah was born of the virgin Miriam, and it continues through this present day for Yahweh's people. What was Yahshua's baptism? Can one be baptized incorrectly? By whose authority are we baptized? Into what name are we baptized? When do we receive Yahweh's Holy Spirit?
Like every other basic truth in the Holy Scriptures, the truths concerning baptism have been substituted with many counterfeits. Not only has the true meaning of baptism been lost, but the true reason and the only way to be baptized to receive Yahweh's Holy Spirit has also been lost. Yahweh ordained baptism for a holy purpose. When we study all the Scriptures on the subject of baptism, we can know the purpose and plan Yahweh ordained. Yahshua our Savior said, ``Broad is the way which leads to destruction''. Few seem to believe these words our Savior spoke. Even fewer believe the next words of our Savior.
Mattithyah
4:4—
But
He
answered, and
said;
It is written: Man
does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out
of the mouth of Yahweh.
Why must we live by (practice) every Word of Yahweh? Because living by His every Word is the only way to eternal life.
Mattithyah
7:14—
Because
straight
is the gate, and narrow
is the way which leads to life,
and few there are who find it.
Yahweh's Way is the only way to perfect peace and true joy! Because His Way is the only way, Yahweh is very strict about His people keeping His Word, which are the words of the Holy Scriptures.
Mattithyah
7:13—
Enter
in through the narrow gate;
for wide is the gate and broad is the way that
leads to
destruction, and many are those who go that way.
One would think, after reading the above Scriptures, and seeing that one's eternal life depends upon living by the every Word of Yahweh, that man would have been afraid to have altered such a vital doctrine as baptism.
Despite
this, we find dozens of
different
teachings concerning baptism in the churches and assemblies today. All
of their teachings are different from the instruction Yahweh gives.
Yahweh gives the gift of the Holy Spirit and of eternal life. He alone sets the conditions for receiving these gifts. Satan does not want anyone to receive Yahweh's gifts; Yahweh's Holy Spirit or eternal life. Therefore, Satan subtly devises all manner of different baptisms. Those who will not study to show themselves approved to Yahweh (II Timothy 2:15) and those who are reluctant to submit to Yahweh, are those who are deceived. Satan's ways are taught all over the world today by ministers who appear to be the ministers of light.
II
Corinthians 11:13-15—
13 For
such are false
apostles,
deceitful
workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of the messiah.
14 And no
marvel; for Satan herself is
transformed into an angel of light.
15
Therefore, it is no great thing if her
ministers also are transformed as the ministers of righteousness—whose
end will be according to their works.
Mattithyah
7:19-21—
19 Every
tree which does not bring forth
righteous fruit is cut down, and cast into the fire.
20
Therefore, by their fruits you
will
know them.
21
Not
everyone who
says to Me:
Teacher!
Teacher! will enter into the Kingdom of Yahweh, but only he who does
the will of My Father
Who is
in heaven.
Not everyone who says "Yahshua is my Teacher'' can be depended upon to have Yahweh's truth. One must look at their fruits to see if they are teaching the complete truth of Yahweh. Only those who will obey Yahweh's truth will enter into the Kingdom of Yahweh. Those whom Yahweh has called, but who then refuse to obey Yahweh, will be cast away from His presence to be destroyed. Yahweh's will is written in every inspired Scripture. Yahweh says:
I
Yahchanan 2:4—
He who
says: I know Him, and does
not keep
His commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
Isayah
8:20—
To the
Law and to the prophecy: if
they
speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in
them.
Yahweh says if a man does not speak according to Yahweh's Way, it is because that man is without Yahweh's Holy Spirit. That man is not capable of teaching Yahweh's Way.
Yaaqob
2:10—
For
whoever keeps the whole Law, and yet
offends
in one point, he is guilty of all.
If one does not go according to Yahweh's Way in every way, one is transgressing the whole Law.
Yahchanan
16:13—
However, when Yahweh's
Spirit of Truth has come, it will guide you into all truth; for
it will not speak on its own, but whatsoever it
hears, it will speak; and it will show you things to come.
Yahweh's Holy Spirit calls a person to serve Him, and it guides one into all truth, including showing one things to come, namely Prophecy! A person receives the guidance of this Spirit when that person is baptized in the correct way. Yahweh's Holy Spirit will then guide him in the way of Yahweh. This does not mean that a person will automatically accept all the truth that is presented, but Yahweh's truth will be presented to him. This is Yahweh's promise. He will guide you into all truth. Yahshua our Messiah said in Mattithyah 15:14, ``If the blind lead the blind, they both shall fall in the ditch.'' Our Messiah did not say they would both be saved. If they are blinded, then they are without the Holy Spirit. The guidance of Yahweh's Holy Spirit into all truth is received only upon correct baptism.
Hosheyah 4:6--
My
people are destroyed for lack of
knowledge.
Because you
have rejected knowledge, I will
also
reject you,
that you will be
no priest to Me. Because you have
forgotten the Law of Yahweh, I will also forget your children.
Yahweh did not inspired Hosheyah to say anyone could be saved because of his ignorance.
Deuteronomy 4:2--
You
shall not
add to the word
which
I
command you, nor shall you take anything from it, so that you may
keep the commandments of Yahweh your Father which I command you.
I have heard Deuteronomy 4:2 quoted so many times from different preachers who do not believe what that Scripture says! Some of these same preachers add to Yahweh's Word; others take from the Word of Yahweh. All of them think they are doing righteousness. In effect, Yahweh says in this Scripture: "If you add anything to or take anything from My Word, you will be unable to keep My Commandments.'' The Apostle Shaul wrote:
Colossians 2:8--
Beware
that no one leads you away
like
a prize because
of
philosophy or empty,
false statements,
according to the traditions of men, after the elements of the
world, and not after the Messiah!
Yahweh inspired the Prophet Yeremyah to write:
Yeremyah 23:21--
I have
not sent these prophets,
yet
they ran; I
have not spoken
of them,
Yet they prophesied.
How, then, does one know if a preacher is sent? We can know the same way we know Yahshua our Messiah was sent. Notice the following Scripture.
Amoshyah 3:7--
Most
assuredly Father Yahweh will
have no
work, other than the work that He has prophesied in
advance by
His servants the prophets.
Yahweh tells us plainly here, He will show us through the writings of the Prophets any Work He establishes. Yahshua confirmed this statement in:
Revelation 10:7--
But in
the days of the voice of the
seventh
malak, when he will begin to sound, the great secret of
Yahweh
would be finished, as He declared to His servants the
prophets.
Yahchanan 5:30--
I can
of My own self do nothing:
as I
hear, I judge. And My judgment is just; because I do not seek My own
will, but the will of the Father Who has sent Me.
"I can of My own self
do nothing..."
Preachers of this world do not believe this statement today. Many new
churches and assemblies are started each year, just as they were
started in the days of Yahshua. Are these churches
and
assemblies prophesied of by the prophets? The prophets of old foretold
of Yahshua's ministry.
Yahchanan 5:39--
Search
the Scriptures: for in
them you
think you have eternal life—and these are they which testify of Me.
The prophets of old also foretold of the establishment of The House of Yahweh in these Last Days.
Isayah 2:2--
It will
come to pass in the last days,
that
the mountain (promotion) of The House of
Yahweh will be
established in the chief of the nations, and will be raised
above
all congregations; and all nations will eventually flow to it.
Micahyah 4:1--
But
in the last days it will come to
pass that
the mountain (promotion) of The House of Yahweh will be
established
in the chief of
the nations. It will be raised above
all congregations; and all peoples will eventually flow to it.

House of Yahweh Established, to read of Yahweh's Work today.
Isayah tells us how to add up Yahweh's Word.
Isayah 28:9-10--
9 Whom
will He teach knowledge? Who will
He
make to understand doctrine? Those who are
weaned
from the milk, and drawn from the breasts!
10 For
precept must
be upon
precept,
precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here and little and
there a little;
Anyone whom Yahweh does not lead therefore can not bring forth Yahweh's prophecies or Yahweh's way. Yahweh will guide and lead those who can stand on their own two feet and accept all of Yahweh's truth, drawn from the breast. Yahweh will guide and lead those who are determined to follow His Way when He shows it to them.
These are those who add up Yahweh's Word, for these are those whom Yahweh will show all of His truth. It is very important to know how to study the Holy Scriptures and how to add up the Word of Yahweh. Isayah was inspired to instruct Yahweh's people in this addition solution.
Isayah
28:10—
For
precept
must
be
upon
precept,
precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here and little and
there a little.
Yahweh would have a certain prophet in a certain time span write a certain thing about a certain subject. Yahweh would not allow this one prophet to write everything about this subject at one time and in one place.
In fact, many of the prophets, because there was more to this subject than what was given by Yahweh to them to write, requested of Yahweh that He reveal the entire truth of this subject to them, so that they could understand. Daniyl was one of these prophets.
Daniyl
12:8-9—
8 So
I
heard, but I did not understand.
Then I
said; O my ruler, what will be the end of
these things?
9 But
he said: Go your way, Daniyl,
for
the words are closed up and sealed until the time of the end.
Yahweh did this to hide these things from the world. Only those whom Yahweh chooses can understand the truth of Yahweh.
Mattithyah
13:11-17—
11 He
answered, and said to them;
because it
has been given to you to know the great secrets of the
Kingdom of
Yahweh, but to them it has not been given.
12 For
whoever has, more will be given
to him,
and he will have abundantly; but whoever has not, even what he has will
be taken away.
13 That
is why I speak to them in
parables:
because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do
they understand.
14 And
in
them is fulfilled the prophecy
of
Isayah, which says: You will hear without ceasing, but you will not
understand. You will see without ceasing, but you will not perceive.
15 Make
the heart of the people fat, and
make
their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; or they will see with their
eyes, and hear with their ears and understand with their heart, and be
converted, and be healed.
16 But
blessed are your eyes, for they
see;
and your ears, for they hear.
17 For
truly I say to you: Many
prophets
and righteous men have desired to see what you see, and have not seen;
and to hear what you hear, and have not heard.
Yahweh ordained the prophets of old and gave them the guidance of His Holy Spirit so they could do His Work. At another time and place Yahweh would inspire another prophet to write more on this same subject. In this way this subject was written ``here a little and there a little''. If one would then go to every prophet, gathering what each of the prophets wrote about one subject in order to add up all the Scriptures, one would then come to the total of Yahweh's knowledge and truth about that subject. But, one can only add up the Scriptures through the guidance of Yahweh's Holy Spirit.
II
Kepha 1:20-21—
20 Knowing
this first: that no
prophecy
of the
Scripture is of any private interpretation,
21 For
the prophecy did not come in
former
times by the will of man, but holy
men of Yahweh spoke as they were
moved by the Holy Spirit.
Yahweh
gave the
prophecies,
and
only
Yahweh interprets the Scriptures for us.
The Prophet Isayah said to Yahweh's ministers in:
Isayah
58:1—
Cry
aloud, spare not, lift up
your
voice like a trumpet, and show My people their transgressions,
and the house of Yaaqob their sins.
Yahweh
also inspired Isayah to
tell His
people:
Isayah 58:4--
Behold,
you fast
for strife and
debate,
and to strike with the fist of wickedness. You cannot fast as you
do this day, and expect your voice to be heard on high.
The People of Yahweh should fast in order to grow closer to Yahweh. If we fast to grow closer to Yahweh, then Yahweh will grow closer to us.
Yaaqob
4:8—
Draw
near to Yahweh, and He will draw
near
to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you
double-minded.
Isayah 58:6--
Is
this not the kind
of fast
that I
have
chosen: to
loose the bands of
wickedness, to undo the heavy
burdens, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke?
Sin is the breaking of Yahweh's Law! (I Yahchanan 3:4). The wage you earn for sinning is death (Romans 6:23)! If we obey Yahweh and do what Yahweh says, Isayah also says:
Isayah 58:9--
Then
you will
call, and Yahweh will
answer; you will cry, and He will say; Here I am. If you take away
the yoke from your midst, the pointing of the finger, and speaking
vanity; iniquity,
unrighteousness;
Isayah was also inspired to write something else.
Isayah 58:13--
If
you turn
away your foot from breaking
the Sabbath:
from doing your pleasure; your own
business, your own pleasure,
on My holy day, and call the
Sabbath a delight, the holy day of Yahweh honorable, and will honor Him
by not doing your own ways, nor
finding
your own pleasure,
nor engaging in idle conversation:
There are two things the Prophet Isayah was inspired to tell Yahweh's People about: Fasting and the Sabbath. Can we leave out one and observe the other? Can we just take the part we want? Can we fast, and loose the bands of wickedness while breaking Yahweh's Sabbath, and still expect to be heard by Him?
The answer is NO! As the Apostle Yaaqob said, if one breaks even one of Yahweh's Laws, it is the same as if he had broken them all.
All of Yahweh's Laws, Statutes and Judgments, which are written here a little and there a little, must be obeyed. We must add up all the Scriptures and obey the total.
Psalm 111:10--
The
reverence of Yahweh is the beginning
of
wisdom. A
great understanding
have all they who do Your
commandments.
Your praise
endures forever!
Unless
one is willing to
obey the
Laws
of Yahweh, that person will simply not have the understanding and
wisdom to teach Yahweh's truths. He is merely a blind leader of the
blind.
Baptism is not a New Testament doctrine. Notice the writings of the Apostle Shaul.
I Corinthians 10:1-2--
1
Moreover, brothers, I do not want you
to be
ignorant of the fact that all our fathers were under the cloud, and
that all passed through the sea,
2 And
were all baptized unto
Mosheh in
the cloud and in the sea;
The
word unto
is
translated
from the Greek word eis.
According to the Greek-English
Lexicon by Liddell and Scott, page 491, the word eis means
before.
eiv or ev, Prep.

24.204 ;
Yes, all of the Children of
Israyl,
when they left Egypt, were baptized in front of Mosheh when they passed
through the Red Sea. But this Scripture also shows us something more. The
Explanatory Notes Upon The New Testament by John Wesley, page
613,
shows us that the Children of Israyl were initiated into the faith
which Mosheh taught them.
2.
And
were all, as
it were, baptized
unto Moses__Initiated
into the religion which
he taught them.
Thayer's Greek Lexicon,
page
183, further shows us that this word eij" means into,
as into the house of one.
eiv, a

Accusative,
and denoting entrance into, or direction and limit: into, to,
towards, for, among.
It is used...with acc. of pers. (Germ. zu

As these Scriptures show,
Mosheh
taught
the Children of Israyl the Laws, Statutes and Judgments of Yahweh,
which are only fully taught by The House of Yahweh.
Deuteronomy
6:1-2, 24-25--
1 Now
these are the commandments,
the
statutes, and the judgments which Yahweh your Father has commanded me
to teach you: so that you may observe them in the land you
are
crossing over to possess;
2 So
that
you may revere Yahweh your
Father by
keeping
all His statutes and His commandments, which I
command you, your son, and your son's son all the days of your life;
and so that your days may be prolonged.
24 And
Yahweh
commanded us to
observe and
do all these statutes; to reverence Yahweh our Father, so
that we
might be blessed; that He might preserve us alive, as it is this day.
25 And it will be OUR
RIGHTEOUSNESS,
if we
observe to do all these commandments; His Law, before
Yahweh our Father, as He has commanded us.
I Timothy 3:15
But if I am delayed, I write
so that you
may
know the right and proper way to conduct yourself in THE HOUSE OF
YAHWEH, who
are the called out
ones of the living Father, the
pillar and ground of the truth.
I
Corinthians 10:1-2
means that
all of
the Children of Israyl, when they left Egypt, were baptized in front of
Mosheh and into The House of Yahweh when they passed through the Red
Sea. It is in these same Scriptures where many become confused about
baptism. Many twist I Corinthians 10:4 as it is
traditionally
translated in the King James Version of the Bible
to intimate
Yahshua Messiah was the one leading the people of Israyl out of Egypt.
I Corinthians 10:3-4, KJV—
3
And did all eat the same
spiritual
food;
4 And did all drink the same
spiritual
drink;
for they drank of that spiritual rock that followed them: and
that rock was the Christ.
The confusion comes, merely by not knowing what the word follow means. Many believe that this word means go with. However, this is not what the word follow means as it is written in I Corinthians 10:4. In I Corinthians 10:4 as it is translated in the King James Version of the Bible, the word follow was translated from the Greek word akoloutheo. Thayer's Greek-English Lexicon, on page 22, shows this word means to follow one who precedes; to follow in time.
1. to follow one who precedes,
join him as his attendant, accompany him: Mt. iv. 25; viii. 19; ix. 19;
xxvii. 55; Mk. iii. 7; v. 24, [37 Lchm.]; xiv. 51 [R G]; Lk. xxii. 39,
54; xxiii. 27; Jn. i. 37 sq. 43 (44); vi. 2; xviii. 15; xx. 6, etc.;
Acts xii. 8; xiii. 43; xxi. 36; 1 Co. x. 4;
...to follow one in time, succeed one:
This is exactly what Yahshua did! Yahshua Messiah followed, or came hundreds of years after the children of Israyl left Egypt. So, correctly translated, the following Scripture reads:
I
Corinthians 10:3-4—
3
And all ate the same
spiritual food,
4 And
all
drank the same
spiritual
drink. For they
drank of the of the spiritual Rock that followed them in time, coming
hundreds of years later__and
that Rock was
the Messiah.
Who
is the
rock?
II
Samuyl 22:32__
For who is
the Father
besides Yahweh?
And who
is a rock, except our Father?
Who
is the
Savior?
Isayah
43:11—
I,
even I, am
Yahweh;
and beside
Me there is no savior.
What did Yahshua our
Messiah say?
Yahchanan
8:28-29—
28
Then Yahshua said to
them: When You
have
lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He,
and that
I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father has taught Me,
I
speak these things.
29 And He Who sent Me is
with Me. The
Father
has not left Me alone, for I
always do those things that please Him.
Yahshua said He was sent by Yahweh His Father, and did as His Father instructed. Because the blind teachers think Yahshua was the supreme being of the Old Testament, they believe we are to be baptized into Yahshua's Name today. This causes most of the confusion. By letting Scripture interpret Scripture, we see it is Yahweh's Name we are to be baptized into.
Isayah 43:3--
For
I am Yahweh
your Father,
the
Holy One of Israyl, your Savior. I gave Egypt for your
ransom,
Ethiopia and Seba for your price.
Who is your
Savior?
Yahweh is and
always has been.
Isayah 43:11—
I,
even I, am
Yahweh; and
beside Me there is no savior.
Isayah 43:15—
I
am Yahweh, your Holy
One, the
Creator of
Israyl, your King.
Isayah 45:5—
I
am Yahweh, and
there is no
other
apart from me. There is no God (elohim). I will strenghten
you with
this knowledge, though you did not recognize that it was Me;
Isayah
45:15—
Truly
You are a Father Who
hides
Yourself, O
Father of Israyl, the Savior.
Isayah 45:21—
Speak out,
bring your
proofs
near;
yes, let them take counsel together. Who has declared this from
ancient time? Who has foretold it from that time? Have not I,
Yahweh? And there is no source of power except
Me, a
just Father and a Savior; there is none but Me.
How many times must Yahweh have to say this before He is believed? There was none beside Him at that time. Even Miriam, the actual mother of Yahshua, did not deny Who her Savior was:
Luke 1:46-48—
46
And Miriam said; My
soul
magnifies
Yahweh,
47 And
my
spirit rejoices in
Yahweh
my
Savior.
48 For
He has
had regard for
the humble
state
of His handmaiden; for behold, from now on all generations will count
me blessed.
Miriam said Yahweh
was her
Savior.
There will also be a time coming when everyone will know it is Yahweh
Who is the Savior.
Isayah 49:26—
I
will feed those who
oppress you with
their
own flesh; and they will be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet
wine. All flesh will know that I, Yahweh, am your Savior and
your
Redeemer, the Mighty One of Yaaqob.
There are those who will say the one who appeared to Mosheh in the burning bush on Mount Sinai, and who led the Children of Israyl through the Red Sea was Yahshua. But, those who say this are not adding up the Scriptures, neither are they aware of what their own Bible says. These same people are unable to explain Acts 7:35 and Exodus 3:2 when they teach that Yahshua was the supreme Being, because both of these scriptures clearly identify the one who spoke to Mosheh from inside the burning bush to be a malak of Yahweh, and not Yahshua Messiah.
Acts
7:35--
This
Mosheh whom they
rejected, saying:
Who
made you a ruler and a judge? is the one Yahweh sent to be a ruler and
a deliverer, by the hand of the Malak (Angel) who appeared to
him
in the bush.
Exodus
3:2—
There, the malak
of Yahweh
appeared to him in a flame of fire from within a bush.
Mosheh
looked, and behold, though the bush was on fire, it did not burn up.
These same people are also unable to explain what the Apostle Shaul said in:
Hebrews
1:5--
For
to which of the
malakim did He
ever
say: You are My Son, this day I have begotten You? And again:
I
will be to Him a Father, and He will be to Me a Son?
Hebrews 1:13--
But to
which of the
malakim has He
ever
said: Sit at My right hand,
until I make Your enemies Your
footstool?
If you would like further knowledge about the scriptural fact that Yahshua Messiah did not pre-exist as Yahweh of the Old Testament, as some pre-existent, co-being with Yahweh, or as a pre-existent creation that came even before Yahweh formed the earth, inquire about our book Did Yahshua Messiah Pre-Exist?.
Yahweh does His work through His messengers, namely those He has set apart and sent today to serve as His ministers, just as He did His work through His messengers, the malakim and the Priests in former times.
Malakyah 2:7--
For the priest's
lips
should keep
knowledge,
and they should seek the Law at his mouth; for he is the messenger
of Yahweh of hosts.
Yahweh sent malakim and His ministers (such as Melchizedek, Genesis 14:18-20) to speak with Abraham. Yahweh sent a malak to speak to Mosheh. Yahweh has sent His messengers today and He tells them to cry aloud and spare not when they see falsehood being taught. Yahweh's messengers today are to show Yahweh's people their sins, that they might overcome their sins so that they might be saved alive. Yahweh sent His messengers, which are the malakim and His ministers to Abraham, Mosheh and others of our fathers, but Yahweh's only begotten Son was born of an earthly woman as the prophets wrote. We must take all the Scriptures, and not just a part of them. If one takes only a part of the Scriptures and denies part of them, he is guilty of transgressing them all, as Yaaqob 2:10 says.
The
Children of Israyl were baptized in front of Mosheh, but they were
baptized into Yahweh's Name. The Children of Israyl were saved alive by
baptism in the Red Sea. Just as the Children of Israyl were baptized in
the Red Sea and were saved from the Egyptians and from sin, so baptism
today saves us from the penalty of death through Yahshua the Messiah
our Savior,sent from Yahweh, the supreme Savior. Yahweh's Salvation is only
for
the Doers of Yahweh's Law!
Romans
2:13--
For
not the hearers of The
Law are just
before
Yahweh, but the DOERS OF THE LAW will be justified.
Yaaqob
1:22--
But
be DOERS of the
word, and not
hearers
only, deceiving your own selves.
Yaaqob
1:25--
But
he who looks into the
perfect Law of
liberty, and perseveres; continues persistently, in it, he is not being
a forgetful hearer, but a DOER of the work; this
man will be
blessed in his performance of the Law.
Yaaqob 2:17--
In the same way, faith,
if it does
not
have works, is DEAD being
alone.
Baptism is of Yahweh. Yahweh does not start something, and then change His mind about continuing it. Yahweh instructed His Son to tell us the following.
Yahchanan Mark
16:15-16—
15
And He said to them: Go
into all the
world,
and preach the message to every creature.
16 He
who
believes and
is baptized
will be
saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.
Yahchanan
3:22—
After
these things Yahshua
and His
disciples
came into the land of Yahdah; and He remained there with them,
and
baptized.
Yahshua
taught
Yahweh's ordinance
of
baptism Yahweh's way. Yahshua did not physically do the baptizing, but
He baptized others through His Disciples, working through others just
as Yahweh works through others today.
The Prophet Isayah foretold of the Messiah.
Isayah
7:14--
Therefore
Yahweh Himself
will give you a
sign:
Behold, a virgin will conceive, and bear a Son, and will
bring
forth the sign that Yahweh of Hosts Is With Us; Immanuyah!
The word Immanuyah means Yahweh is with us. Isayah's prophecy was fulfilled in Yahshua Messiah.
Mattithyah 1:21-23--
21
And she will give birth
to a Son, and
you
will call His Name YAHSHUA; Yahweh is
Salvation; For Yahweh
will save His people from their sins.
22 Now
all
this was done
to fulfill
what
Yahweh had spoken through the prophet, saying:
23 Behold, a virgin will
conceive, and
bear a
Son, and will bring forth the sign IMMANUYAH—_which
means, to
bring forth the
sign that
Yahweh of Hosts Is
With
Us.
The prophesying of Yahweh's Son, and the fulfillment of this prophecy was the fact that Yahshua would be the sign IMMANUYAH,Yahweh is with us. Notice this fact. The prophet did not say Yahshua's name would be Immanuyah. Yahshua would be the sign that Yahweh is with us. Why would Yahshua be the sign that Yahweh is with us? The answer is because at birth Yahshua Messiah would have the family name of his earthly father and mother, just as any son would have. But, as prophecy shows, when he assumed his ministry as a servant of Yahweh who would bring forth Yahweh and His truth to the people, Yahshua would take on the family name of Yahweh. He would be coming in His Father's (Yahweh's) Name, bringing Yahweh, Yahweh's Name, and Yahweh's righteousness to the people, effectually bringing Yahweh to the people through his teachings, so that they would return to Yahweh in righteousness, and Yahweh would again be with them. When the people had sinned, Yahweh turned His face away from them.
Deuteronomy
31:16-18--
16
And Yahweh said to
Mosheh: Behold,
you are
going to rest with your fathers, and these people will soon prostitute
themselves to the gods of the land they are entering. They will forsake
Me and break the covenant which I made with them.
17 On
that day
I will become
angry with
them,
and I will forsake them. I will hide My face from them,
and
they will be devoured. Many evils and troubles will then befall them,
and on that day they will ask: Have not these disasters come upon us
because our Father is not with us?
18
And I will
surely hide
My face in
that
day because of all the evil they have done by turning to Hinder gods
(elohim).
Isayah 59:1-2—
1
Behold, Yahweh's hand is
not
shortened, that
it cannot save; nor His ear heavy, that it cannot hear.
2 But
your own
iniquities
have separated
you
from your
Father;
and your own
sins have
caused Him
to hide his face from you, so He will not listen.
Yahshua Messiah came preaching for all to repent, so that Yahweh would return to them.
Mattithyah
9:13—
But
go and learn what this
means: I
desire
mercy and not sacrifice. For I have not come to call the
righteous,
but sinners to repentance.
So, through his message of repentance, Yahshua Messiah was therefore the sign that Yahweh is with His people, because Yahweh returns to everyone who listens to Yahshua's message and repents of their sins.
When did Yahshua officially take on the Family Name of Yahweh? When Yahshua was baptized, He officially took on the Name of Yahweh, and became officially, the begotten Son of Yahweh.
Mattithyah
3:13-17—
13
Then Yahshua came
from
Galilee to
the Yardan, to Yahchanan, to be baptized by him.
14
But Yahchanan protested
to Him,
saying: I
need to be baptized by You, and do You come to me?
15
But Yahshua answered,
saying to him:
Allow
this now; for this is proper for us to fulfill all righteousness. Then
he permitted Him.
16
And Yahshua, when He
was
baptized, went
up immediately out of the water; and lo, the
heavens were
opened to Him, and He perceived by a revelation the
Spirit of
Yahweh descending and entering into Him.
17 Then lo, a voice from
heaven,
saying:
This is My beloved Son,
in
Whom I am well pleased.
In doing the will of Yahweh by being immersed, Yahshua also fulfilled another prophecy of the Son of Yahweh.
Psalm
2:7—
I will proclaim the decree
Yahweh
declared;
Yahweh said to me: You
are My
Son, this day I have begotten You
Yahshua was already, though unofficially, by pre-ordination the Son of Yahweh, for Miriam was impregnated by the power of the Holy Spirit of Yahweh. There was a day Yahshua, the Son of Yahweh, was begotten. This day He was begotten was the day He was baptized. When Yahshua was baptized, He was baptized into the family Name of Yahweh. Yahshua was not baptized into the family name He had, which was Ben Yahseph (son of Yahseph [Joseph]). Yahshua was not baptized into His own name, Yahshua, either, as the blind religious leaders try to teach today.
We are to be baptized with the same baptism Yahshua had.
Yahchanan
Mark
l0:39—
And they said to Him; We
can. And Yahshua
said to
them; You will indeed
drink of the cup that I drink of, and
with the
baptism that I am
baptized with will you be baptized;
It is ridiculous to believe Yahshua was baptized into His own name. Yet many today who are blinded to Yahweh's Scriptures baptize in that false manner. We are to be baptized with the same baptism of Yahshua. Baptism, Yahweh's way was instituted long before Yahshua was born of Miriam, and it continues through this present day for Yahweh's people. After we are baptized, the Elders lay hands upon us so that Yahweh will send that part of His Holy Spirit that guides into truth. And, we receive a holy seal.
The book Biblical Doctrine of Initiation, by R.E.O. White, intimates that the past tense of the Greek word sphragizo, which is the Greek word usually used to mean seal, refers to the gift of the part of the Holy Spirit that guides into truth as a seal of Yahweh upon baptism, sealing His people as His own possession, much like the brand a farmer or a rancher will place upon his sheep or cattle in order to identify what is his.
The word seal is translated from the Greek words sphragis and sphragizo that are written in what is called the New Testament. These two Greek words are listed as Words #4972 and #4973 in Strong's Greek Dictionary, and mean to stamp with a signet or private mark for security or preservation.
Ephesians
1:13—
In
Whom you also trusted,
hearing the
word of truth, the message of your salvation; in Whom also, having
believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit, previously
promised;
Ephesians
4:30—
And
do not grieve the Holy
Spirit of
Yahweh, by which you were sealed for the day of redemption.
II
Corinthians 1:21-22—
21
Now He Who establishes us
with you in
Messiah, and has anointed Us, is Yahweh;
22
Who also has sealed
us and given
us the
Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing
what is to
come.
Yahweh sets us apart as His people when we obey Him and do His will. The New Testament Doctrine of Baptism, by W.F. Flemington, proposes that baptism, as the ordained rite of circumcision, is the seal. By being baptized by Yahshua's authority into the family Name of Yahweh—which stands for total righteousness—we become begotten sons into the very Yahweh Family.
II
Timothy 2:19—
Nevertheless,
the foundation
of Yahweh
stands
sure, having this seal: Yahweh knows those who are His, because:
everyone who reverences the Name of Yahweh departs from iniquity.
The word iniquity as it is written in II Timothy 2:19 is translated from the Greek words anomia and anomos. These two Greek words are listed as words #458 and 459 in the Greek Dictionary of Strong's Exhaustive Concordance, and mean illegality, that is, violation of the Law, wickedness, lawless, not subject to the Jewish Law.
Let those who say "Teacher, Teacher'' unto Yahshua stop breaking the Law of Yahweh! Abraham's circumcision was also counted as a sign of righteousness. We will have Yahweh's seal of righteousness, even a circumcision made without hands, when we are baptized as Yahshua was.
Colossians
2:11-12—
11 In Him you were also circumcised
with
the circumcision made without hands__in putting off
the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of the Messiah
12
Buried
with Him in
baptism,
in
which you are also risen with Him through the faith, in the active
power of Yahweh Who raised Him from the dead.
Yahshua says in Revelation 3:12: "He who overcomes, I will write upon him the Name of My Father...''. When Yahshua was baptized, the name He had always called upon became officially His forever through pre-ordination. Yahshua is our Messiah. Yahshua is also our High Priest under His Father, Yahweh.
I Corinthians 15:28—
When He has done this, then
the Son
Himself will be subject to Him Who put all things under Him, so
that Yahweh may be acknowledged as the Supreme Head
over all.
Yahshua is under Yahweh (I Corinthians 11:3). We must go through Yahshua our High Priest to Yahweh the supreme Head. Yahshua gives us the authority to be sealed with Yahweh's Name through baptism.
Revelation 14:1—
And
I looked, and behold,
the Lamb
standing on
Mount Zion, and with Him 144,000,
having His Name and His Father's
Name written in their foreheads.
Revelation
22:4—
And they will see His face;
and His
Name
will
be in their foreheads.
MIKWEH ["a collection
[of water]" a pool or bath of clear water,
immersion in which renders ritually
clean a person.)
We
are sealed
with
the family
Name of
Yahweh upon repentance and baptism. When my wife and I toured the
nation of Israyl in the Spring of 1982, we visited at the site of an
old synagogue. At this site was a trough-like area. Our guide asked us
what we thought this area could be. No one else thought of baptism,
because most of the people there were taught baptism was an ordinance
issued only during the time of Yahshua.
It is emphasized that the purpose of immersion is not physical, but spiritual cleanliness. According to Scriptural Law any collection of water, drawn or otherwise is suitable for a mikweh as long as it contains enough for a person to immerse himself.
There were baptisms long before Yahshua was born. Baptism is an established ordinance of Yahweh. When one commits sin (transgression of Yahweh's Law, I Yahchanan 3:4), he becomes polluted (impure) as a result.
Yechetzqyah
14:11—
That the house of Israyl may
no longer
go
astray from Me, nor be polluted anymore with all their
transgressions;
but that they
may be My people, and I may be their
Father, says Yahweh.
When one does become impure as the result of sins he has committed, he must purify himself from this pollution to be accepted by Yahweh.
Psalm 51:2,7—
2
Wash
us
thoroughly
from our
iniquity,
and cleanse us from our sin.
7 You will purge us
with hyssop,
and
we will be clean. You will wash
us, and we
will be whiter than
snow
This cleansing can be done in only two ways. The one to be cleansed from his pollution as the result of his sins can be purified in fire, or he can be purified in water.
Numbers
31:21-23—
21Then
Eleazar the
priest
said to the
men who
had gone into the battle; This is the ordinance of the law Yahweh has
commanded to Mosheh:
22 The
gold, silver, bronze,
iron, tin,
and
lead,
23 Everything
that can
endure fire,
you must put them through the fire,
and they will
be clean, then it shall also be purified with the
water of
purification. But all that cannot endure fire,
must be put
through that water.
Obviously, we cannot be cleansed with fire because we would simply burn up. But, we are never-the-less being cleansed with fire, although in a different manner.
The body is not being cleansed, per se, but the character of that body, that mind, is being cleansed with fire, Yahweh says, cleansing us first with the Law, as with water.
Ephesians
5:26-27—
26 In
order that He
might
sanctify them,
cleansing
them with the Law as with water;
27 That He might cause the
glorious
called out
ones to stand by His side, not having spot, nor wrinkle, nor any such
things; but that they would be holy and without blemish.
Yaaqob
4:7-8—
7 Therefore,
submit
yourselves to
Yahweh.
Resist the devil, and she will flee from you.
8 Draw near to Yahweh, and
He will draw
near
to you. Cleanse
your
hands, you sinners; and purify your
hearts, you double-minded.
I
Kepha 4:12—
Beloved, do not be amazed
concerning the
fiery
trial which you must undergo in order to be tested, as though some
alien thing were befalling you;
Yahweh can then say to us:
I
Corinthians 6:11—
And such were some of you.
But now
you are
washed, now
you are
sanctified, now you are justified in the Name
of Yahshua Messiah, and by the Spirit of our Father.
All who practice sin belong to Satan.
Romans
6:16—
Do you not know that to whom
you
yield
yourselves as servants to obey, his servants you are whom you obey—whether
of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to
righteousness?
I
Yahchanan 3:7-10—
7
Little children, let
no man
deceive you;
he who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is
righteous.
8
He who commits sin is
of the devil,
for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son
of Yahweh was manifested; that He might destroy the works of the devil.
9
Whoever is
begotten of
Yahweh does
not
commit sin;
for His seed
remains in Him; and it
is
possible for
him not to sin,
because he has
been begotten of Yahweh.
10 In this the children of
Yahweh and
the
children of the devil are manifest. Whoever does not practice
righteousness is not of Yahweh,
nor is he who does not love his
brother!
Sin is the breaking of Yahweh's Laws.
I
Yahchanan 3:4—
Whoever commits sin,
transgresses also
the
Law; for sin
is the
transgression of the Law.
The Laws of Yahweh teach us the way to life. But the way we have been following is a way of death.
Revelation
22:14—
Blessed are those who do
His
commandments,
that they may have
right to
the tree of life,
and may
enter in
through the gates into the city.
Keeping Yahweh's Laws under fiery trials proves to Yahweh that we are sincere when we say we repent of sin. Baptism shows Yahweh that we are willing to put the body of sin to death and bury it in the watery grave.
Romans
6:4,6,9-13—
4 Therefore,
we are buried
with Him
by
baptism into death; in order that, just as Messiah was raised
from
the dead through the plan of the Father, we, also, may walk in newness
of life.
6 For
we know this: that our
old self
was
sacrificed with Him, so that the body of sin might be
destroyed;
in that, from now on, we would not serve sin.
9 Knowing
that the Messiah,
having been
raised
from the dead, dies no more; death no longer has power over Him.
10 For
the death that He
died, He died
to sin
once, for all; but the life that He lives, He
lives to Yahweh.
11 In
the same way, consider
yourselves
also dead
to sin, but alive to Yahweh in Yahshua Messiah, our Ruler.
12
Therefore, do not allow
sin to rule
in your
mortal body, so that you do not obey its sinful lusts.
13 And do not offer the
members of your
body
to sin, as instruments of
unrighteousness; but
present
yourselves to Yahweh, as those who have returned from death to life,
and offer the members of your body to Him as instruments of
righteousness.
As
Yahweh's Law
shows, baptism
was
instituted by Yahweh as a Law from the beginning, and
hence it
has been
practiced by His people from the beginning. Just as the Children of
Israyl were baptized in front of Mosheh (I Corinthians 10:2) in the Red
Sea, the ordinance of baptism was followed in the days of Yahchanan the
Immerser, Yahshua Messiah, and the Apostles, and it is still in effect
this day. The Holy Spirit was with Yahchanan. Yahchanan knew what he
was doing, because he was performing that which is required in Yahweh's
Law.
It is certain one can be baptized incorrectly. Yahweh shows us that one will not receive the part of Yahweh's Holy Spirit that guides into truth unless he is baptized correctly according to the procedure Yahweh has set through His Scriptures. All actions commanded by Yahweh, including baptism, must be done according to the procedure Yahweh has set.
Exodus
25:40—
And see that you make
them according
to
the pattern
which was shown to
you on the mountain.
Unless we are willing to take all the Holy Scriptures and go exactly according to what Yahweh says, then we will not receive the part of Yahweh's Holy Spirit which guides into truth. The correct procedure for baptism Yahweh's way is:
1. A person is called (drawn) by the part of Yahweh's Holy Spirit called the Spirit of Calling. He now earnestly desires to repent of sin.
2. This person is then baptized according to the procedure Yahweh has set, through the authority of the One Yahweh has set as His High Priest of this current age, as guided by Yahweh's Holy Spirit.
3. Then, this newly baptized person must have the hands of Yahweh's ministers laid upon him to receive the portion of Yahweh's Holy Spirit that guides into truth. The truth of Yahweh, into which Yahweh's Holy Spirit guides us, is the Law of Yahweh (Psalm 119:142,151).
First, Yahweh's Holy Spirit operates in two parts. The first part is Yahweh's Spirit of Calling, which comes to a person when Yahweh seeks him to come and be his.
Yahchanan
6:44—
No man can come to Me,
unless the
Father,
Who has sent Me, draws
him; and I
will raise him up at the last
day.
A person receives this Spirit of Calling, answers it, and becomes correctly baptized according to the procedure Yahweh has set. The part of Yahweh's Holy Spirit which guides a person into all truth comes when the ministers of Yahweh lay hands upon that person. Then, the person can grow in the knowledge and understanding of the truth (Yahweh's Laws) as one of Yahweh's children.
Yahchanan
14:16-17—
16 Then
I will ask
the
Father, and He
will give
you another Comforter, that Yahweh's Spirit may remain with you forever__
17 The Spirit of Truth,
which
the
world cannot receive, because it does not see Him, nor know Him. But
you know Yahweh, for He dwells with you, and will be in you.
Yahchanan
16:13__
However, when Yahweh's
Spirit of
Truth
has come, it will
guide you
into all truth;
for it will
not
speak; and it will show
you
things to come.
One of the Scriptural examples of how one was not baptized according to the procedure Yahweh had set and did not receive the part of Yahweh's Holy Spirit that guides into all truth, is:
Acts
18:24-25—
24 Now
a
certain Yahdai
named Apollos,
born at
Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the
Scriptures,
came to Ephesus.
25 This man was instructed
in the way of
Yahweh; and being zealous in the spirit, he spoke and taught diligently
the things about the Messiah, but only knowing the baptism
of Yahchanan.
In Acts Chapter Nineteen, Shaul went to the people whom Apollos had baptized. None of them had received the part of the Holy Spirit that guides into truth. Shaul asked them:
Acts
19:3—
Then he said to them; Unto
what,
then,
were you baptized?
And they
said; Unto
Yahchanan's
(John's)
baptism.
Apollos heard Yahchanan the Immerser preaching, and very well might have been baptized by Yahchanan, and very well may have been baptizing by the authority of Yahchanan. Our authority comes from Yahshua Messiah. Yahshua Messiah came and died for our sins and took the place of our own deaths. Yahshua is our High Priest and Mediator (Hebrews 10:21). We owe everything we have to Yahweh and Yahshua. Yahshua paid our debt which required our destruction and the death in the Lake of Fire. Anything we do, we have to do by Yahshua's Authority. That is why He became our Savior, appointed and sent by Yahweh. Yahchanan the Immerser was sent by Yahweh to prepare the way for Yahshua.
Yahchanan's baptism was for repentance. The baptism of Yahshua is not only for repentance, but to receive Yahweh's Holy Spirit. Yahchanan the Immerser came in the authority of Yahweh. We come baptizing today, in the authority of Yahweh, THROUGH Yahshua, His Son.
Acts
19:4-5—
4 Then
Shaul said;
Yahchanan
truly
baptized
with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should
believe on Him Who would come after him, that is, on the Messiah,
Yahshua.
5 When they heard this,
they
were
baptized in the Name of Yahshua Messiah.
These people were then baptized by the AUTHORITY OF Yahshua Messiah.
Acts
19:6—
And when Shaul had Elders'
hands
laid upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them; and they spoke in
other languages, and prophesied.
Yahweh's
Holy
Spirit
did not come
upon
these people until they were RE-BAPTIZED in the RIGHT WAY, and the
ministers of Yahweh laid hands upon them. Yahweh's Holy Spirit will not
come upon anyone in this present day for the same reason. Unless one is
baptized CORRECTLY, and then the ministers of Yahweh lay hands upon him
or her, one will NOT receive the part of Yahweh's Holy Spirit which
leads one into all truth.
What does it mean to come in the name of another? I could write you a check. You could take that check and go to the bank in my name. That is the example of going in my name. You go to the bank and they will give you money for that check. One does not go to the bank into someone's name. One can put money into an account, but one cannot go into someone's name and get money from an account. If I write the check, then you have my authority to withdraw my funds from my account.
In this same manner, Yahshua has given us authority to baptize others in His Name , that is, by His authority. Yahshua did not take the right of Yahweh by authorizing us to baptize others into Yahshua's Name. But, this is exactly the false teaching, so many are bringing forth. These deceived people think Yahshua took away the right of the Family Name of Yahweh and placed it upon Himself. But Yahshua says the following.
Yahchanan
17:6,11,12,26—
6 I
have manifested; made
openly
known,
Your Name to the men that You gave Me out of the world. They were
yours, and You gave them to Me; and they have kept Your word.
11 And
now I am no longer in
the world,
but
they are in the world, and I come to You, Holy Father, keep
through
Your own Name those whom You have given Me, that they may be
one; in
one accord: unity, as We are.
12 While
I was with them in
the world, I
kept them in Your Name. Those whom You gave Me I have kept;
and
none of them are lost, except the son of perdition, so that the
Scriptures might be fulfilled.
26 And I have made Your Name
known to
them,
and I will continue to make it known; that the
love with
which
You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.
Yahshua, in these Scriptures, repeatedly stated He kept the ones Yahweh gave Him in the family Name of Yahweh, for they were baptized into the Family Name of Yahweh. Why, then, does the entire world continue to baptize with the baptism of Yahchanan for the act of repentance, but refuses to baptize with the baptism of Yahshua Messiah (through his authority) for the gift of the part of the Holy Spirit that guides into all truth?
It is because blinded people do not add up all the Scriptures. They have taken a few of the Scriptures about baptism, but their total is incorrect. They then base their whole salvation on an incorrect total. Acts 2:38 is the Scripture upon which baptism by the authority of Yahshua Messiah is proven to be correct. Most Bibles translate Acts 2:38 to read as it is translated in the King James version.
Acts 2:38, KJV—
Then Peter said unto them,
Repent, and
be
baptised every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the
remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
The word name as it is written in Acts 2:38 was translated from the Greek word onoma. This Greek word onoma is listed as word #3686 in the Greek Dictionary of Strong's Exhaustive Concordance, and literally means authority, as is shown here.
3686. onoma on'-om-ah; from a presumed der. of the base of 1097 (comp. 3685); a "name" (lit. or fig.) [authority, character]:—called, (+sur-) name (-d).
This
Scripture
correctly says:
Acts 2:38—
Then Kepha said to them;
Repent, and be
baptized, every one of you, in
the Name (by the authority) of
Yahshua Messiah
for the
remission of sins, and you will receive the
gift of the Holy Spirit.
Acts 2:38, when correctly translated and understood states that one is to be baptized by the authority of Yahshua Messiah and not into Yahshua's Name. But, there is another Scripture which should not be left out of the total, and this Scripture clearly tells one Whose Name one is to be baptized into.
Mattithyah
28:19—
Go you therefore and teach
all nations, baptizing
them into the Name of the Father, by the authority of the Son, and
through; under the direction of, the Holy Spirit;
Does
this
Scripture
say to only
baptize
in the Name of Yahshua, as so many are falsely? No. The Father, the
Son, and the Holy Spirit are all mentioned in this verse.
The part of the Holy Spirit that guides into truth does not come from Yahshua. Yahshua does give us authority to receive this part of the Holy Spirit if we obey the Laws of Yahweh. We must go through Yahshua, Who is our Mediator, to Yahweh. In fact, this is exactly how Mattithyah 28:19 was originally written concerning baptism. Shown here is Mattithyah 28:19 as it is written in the original Greek, from The Interlinear Bible by Jay Green, page 766:
The two Greek words that have been circled are the same Greek word tou (tou), which is written just preceding the Greek word which means son (Uiou), and the Greek words (Agiou Pneumatos) which means Holy Spirit. This Greek word tou (tou) as it is written in Mattithyah 28:19 is listed as Words #5120, #5127, and #3778 of Strong's Greek Dictionary, and means: from or concerning.
5120. tou' tou, too; prop. the gen. of 3588; sometimes used for 5127; of this person:—his.
5127. tou'tou toutou, too'-too; gen. sing. masc. or neut. of 3778; of (from or concerning) this (person or thing):—here [-by], him, it, + such manner of, that, thence [-forth], thereabout, this, thus.
3778.

i.e. this
or that (often with art,

same, woman), which, who.
However, Thayer's Greek Lexicon, on page 466, shows that this Greek word tou (tou) as it is written in Mattithyah 28:19 comes from the original Hebrew word zah.
outov, auth, tou'to, demonstrative pron. [cf. Curtius p.543], Hebr. hz, taz, this; used
The Hebrew and English Lexicon of the Old Testament by Brown, Driver, and Briggs then shows on page 261 that this Hebrew word zah, from which the Greek word tou as it is written in Mattithyah 28:19 is derived, means through this (one).
(b) by or through this (esp. with udy), Gn 4215.33 Ex 717 Nu1628 Jos 310 y 4112; so tazb Mal 310.
So,
what is
actually
being said
in this
Scripture is:
Mattithyah
28:19—
Go you therefore and teach
all nations,
baptizing them into the Name of the Father, and THROUGH the
Son, and THROUGH the Holy Spirit;
One is to be correctly baptized into the Name of the Father, which is Yahweh, through (by the authority of) the Son (Yahshua), and through (as a guiding influence or direction) of the Holy Spirit. We must go to Father Yahweh through, or in the Name (by the authority) of Yahshua. We should be thankful that we can go through Yahshua Messiah, because Yahshua died for our sins. Yahshua received the part of Yahweh's Holy Spirit that guides into truth when He was baptized (Mattithyah 3:16). Yahshua will then give you authority to receive the part of Yahweh's Holy Spirit that guides you into truth when you are baptized correctly, and the ministers of Yahweh lay hands upon you.
Yahchanan
15:26—
But
when the Comforter
has come,
which I
will send to you from the Father—the
Spirit of Truth which

Romans
8:9-11—
9 But
you
are not in the
flesh, but in
the
Spirit, if the Spirit of Yahweh truly dwells in you. Now if
anyone
does not have this Spirit as the Messiah, he is not His; Yahweh's.
10 And
if Messiah is in you,
your body
is dead
because of sin, but the Spirit is alive because of righteousness.
11 And
if the Spirit
of
Him Who
raised
Yahshua from the dead is living in you, He Who raised Yahshua
from
the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies
by His
Spirit, which lives in you.

Corinthians 3:16—
Do you not understand that you
are
The
House of Yahweh and that the Spirit of Yahweh
dwells in you?
In most Bibles, Mattithyah 28:19 and Acts 2:38 are translated basically as the King James Version has these verses translated.
Matthew
28:19,
KJV—
Go
ye therefore, and teach
all nations, BAPTIZING
them in the Name of the Father and of the Son and
of the Holy
Ghost.
