[9] The true and with Me only valid baptism is the one with the fire of love for Me and for the neighbor and with the living zeal of the will and with the holy spirit of the eternal truth out of God. These are the three pieces which give a valid testimony in eaven for everyone; these are: Love, as the true Father; the will, as the living and actual word or the Son of the Father; and finally the holy spirit, as the right understanding of the eternal and living truth out of God, but as vividly active in a person and only in a person! Since what is not in a person and does not takes place out of the very own will’s impulse, does not carry any value for a person, and since it does not and cannot have any value for a person, it cannot have any value for God. [10] Since God in His Self does not mean anything for a person for as long as the person does not recognizes God by His teachings and makes His will his very own through love and arranges all his actions through the most living zeal of his will according to the recognized most highest will. Only then does the image of God in man becomes alive and grows and soon penetrates the person’s whole being. If so, it then happens, that man penetrates in all depths of the Godhead, since the image of God in man is the most perfect symmetry of one and the same God in eternity. [11] When this takes place in man, then everything in him is sanctified and the true baptism of rebirth of the spirit has been reached. Through such baptism a person makes himself a true friend of God and is in himself just as perfect as the Father in heaven is perfect. And I say to you all explicitly, that you all must strive for it with all your strength, to become equally perfect as perfect is the Father in heaven! Who is not that perfect, does not get to the Son of the Father. [12] But who is the Son? The Son is the Father’s love. He is the love of the love, He is the fire and the light, He is the Son of the love or the Father’s wisdom. But if the image of the Father is in you, it must be in all as perfect as the primordial Father Himself, otherwise it could not be the image of the Father; but if the image is not perfect, from where will man obtain wisdom, or how should man get to true wisdom? [13] Just as the Father always finds Himself in Me, I also find Myself in the Father, and in the same way you must find yourself in yourself, then you also will find yourself in God, and God will find Himself in you. Like I and the Father are one, you also must first become one with the image of the Father in you. If so, then you have become one with Me and with the eternal Father in Me, while I and the Father in Me are perfectly one from eternity!” [14] Here the disciples said: “Lord, we do not understand this! You are becoming hard with Your teaching! We ask You most imploringly, that You explain Yourself in this regard more clearly!” [15] I said: “Are you then also still imprudent?! For how long I still have to endure you like that?! O you still strongly blind type! But to you it will be given, to understand the secret of the kingdom of God on earth! [16] Where do you have the thoughts of your hearts?! Several times I already have explained to you who the Father is and who the Son is. That Father and Son relate to each other like the relationship between love and wisdom, or like warmth and light. I have shown to you, how the light is of no use without the warmth, but also a warmth without light cannot ripen the ears on the field. I have shown to you how from warmth always a light originates, because the warmth is the first expression of any given activity; but the appearance of an activity is the light, which increases as any orderly activity increases, and still you don’t understand the ‘unity’ of the Father and the Son, and the ‘unity’ between you and Me!” (GGJ Book 9, chap. 42) [10] But I said to them: “It is enough for now that you have received the baptism of truth; but if the true, living baptism comes upon you, if you remain with the teaching and live and act according to it, then you will also be able to receive John’s baptism. But soon a time will come in which many will rather receive the true baptism of fire from the Holy Spirit than the baptism with water.” (GGJ Book 13, chap. 96) [7] But baptism with the spirit of power does not take place at the same time as no-one is supposed to baptize a child after birth, but at least a few days thereafter; -this is the earliest on the eighth, tenth, or twelfth day as was common. Sometimes the circumcision baptism took place much later; and so it is said here also to the apostles and disciples, that after My ascent, they shall stay in the city for a while, until the power from above will come upon them. [8] Everybody should pay attention to this condition and not venture out until he has received the baptism of the Spirit! For without them the born-again spirit resembles a weak child, who is probably pure in every respect like an angel, but lacking in the effective power and in the requisite free insight! [9] You know that the outpouring of the power from on high on the disciples and apostles took place on the tenth day after the ascension. What does this say? Such is the testimony and witness of the perfect subjugation of the Ten Mosaic Laws in the released life of the Spirit! So the spirit must first be freed from all fetters and bonds until it can put on the garment of Divine power from above. [10] When this has come upon him, then he is a completely new creature out of the Spirit of love and of all power from it, and then can only work in the full power of Divine love and mercy. For through such a baptism of the Holy Spirit from above, man is first released from all the bonds of death and becomes one with and in Christ, and can then also say: "Now I am no longer living, but Christ lives in me! No longer am I now myself, but Christ Himself is the I in me!" [11] For this reason, as has already been shown, everything that corresponds to the Son in man must go the way of the Son of Man, and for everyone it is irrevocable: "Take your cross, and follow Me, otherwise you cannot come to the resurrection and ascension get to the Father!" [12] And here, too, our idea fits in the very same way, that no man can reach the rebirth and the baptism of the Holy Spirit through the versatile training of his mind with the help of well-stocked libraries and lofty university professors, but only through the humility and great love of his heart. [13] He must give everything he has of the world back to the of the world, to the last mite; including the arrogant sciences of his head; otherwise it will look but meager with the rebirth and power-baptism of his spirit. [14] Do not believe that by doing so, somebody will immediately enter the kingdom of heaven, even if he had given all his fortune to the poor, and yet he would think of and say, "Lord! As I was merciful, so be merciful to me! "Whoever speaks as such, has much still missing from the kingdom of God; for there he and Christ are not yet one, but evidently two, where one prescribes to the other a certain kind of acceptable conditions. [15] The poorest among you humans is always Me, or spoken in German: the most needy and poorest of all people is the real life force of their hearts. This must first be richly endowed, if another outward endowment is to have a value; or your heart must be fully alive from the love of Me. I myself must be all your love; Only then can you truly make meritorious work out of this love into eternal life, and that's because the meritorious things alone belong to Me. But you remain mere pure consumers of My love, mercy and compassion. [16] For as soon as someone says: "I have done, and I have given!", He is still far from the one who says: "I have always been a lazy and useless servant!" And thus is also far from My kingdom. Only if he professes himself in life and says: "Lord, my God and Father! I am nothing in all, just as all men before you are nothing, but you alone are all in all!", Then he is near My kingdom, and My kingdom has come near to him. [17] Likewise, you also observe all that is said to you there, so you too will come to ascension and to baptism with the power of My Spirit; for the promise of the Father is also sent to you. Amen. (Explanation of the Scriptures, chap. 30) [3] I said: “Right now, since I Myself blesses all matter thereby, that I Myself have incarnated Myself with your old curse and thereby have brought a blessing to it! All old order of the old heaven including the heavens comes to an end, and on the foundation by which I have blessed matter, a new order and a new heaven will be made, and the entire creation, as well as this earth, must be equipped with a new constitution. [4] By the old order nobody could get into heaven who once was stuck in matter; but from now on nobody will be able to truly come to Me in the highest and purest heaven, who did not, just like Myself, has gone through the way of matter and the flesh. [5] Whoever is from now on baptized in My name with the living water of My love and with the spirit of My teaching and in My name according to strength and deed, from him the old heredity sin is forever wiped off, and his body will thereby not be the old murderers pit of sin anymore, but a temple of the holy spirit. [6] But everyone should guard himself, not to get a new contaminated by the old, toxic weed of self-love! Beware only of that, than you will also sanctify your flesh and blood; and when the pure spirit in you becomes the sole ruler, then in him and through him not only the soul will rise to a perfected, eternal life, but also the flesh and blood of the body including skin and hair! […] [9] But this I add to it and say: Who does not believe and is not baptized with the water and the spirit in and on My name and My word, for him it will remain by the old! Such will not get to My kingdom and will not see Me in the beyond, but will stay at the most outer borders of My kingdom, where there is a lot of darkness and night and a lot of howling and grinding of teeth. And heaven’s purest light will not in any other way penetrate to them, as the light of a small fixed star to this earth, and about My true life heaven they will know just as much, as the people presently know, how the fixed stars look like, and what is in them. (GGJ Book 9, chap. 41)
