The Truth is, the parabolic pantomime of water “baptism” is nothing more than a parabolic depiction of the internal transformation that occurs when a person chooses to give up the lies of Satan and be born again by believing the Truth of the Gospel and apologizing to God. At the point of the new birth, the “fire” of the Living Word of God comes in and “baptizes” the person “in” and “into” the “fire” of the Gospel. That “fire” removes everything that does not agree with the basic Truth of the Gospel. In reality, there is nothing “miraculous” about the new birth. It is nothing more than a surrender of the will. Unfortunately, some folks will hold on to their pride, arrogance, and pretense up to the bitter end, thinking they can get by without submitting their will to His. Too bad for them. I have not been called to tell them, but there are some who can see them for exactly what they are...God will let them know that in His Own good time; and they won’t be able to say they were not warned. “The Voice of Elijah®,” October 2011, p. 18
