Iivesi zeBhayibhile malunga nebhaptizo
- Lukholo ke olunenze nangoonyana bakaThixo ngokumanywa noYesu Krestu. Nonke nina babhaptiziweyo nimanywe noKrestu; ngoko ke nambethe uKrestu.
- Ke ngoko hambani niye kuzenza abafundi zonke iintlanga, nibabhaptize egameni loYise, neloNyana, neloMoya oyiNgcwele; nibafundisa ukuba bazenze zonke izinto endiniyalele ngazo. Niyabona, mna ndinani yonke imihla, kude kube sekuphelisweni kwephakade eli.
- Wona angumqondiso owalatha ubhaptizo olusindisa nina ngoku. Ubhaptizo alukuko ukuhlanjwa kokungcola komzimba, lusisithembiso esenziwa kuThixo ngomxhelo wonke. Lusindisa ngamandla okuvuka kukaKrestu.
- Wathi uPetros kubo: “Guqukani ezonweni zenu nonke ngabanye, nibhaptizwe egameni likaYesu Krestu, ukuze nixolelwe izono zenu, nize namkele isipho soMoya oyiNgcwele.”
- Lowo ukholwayo abhaptizwe wosindiswa; ke yena ongakholwayo wogwetywa.
- Waphendula uYesu, wathi: “Ndithi kuwe, inene, ukuba umntu akathanga azalwe ngamanzi nanguMoya kaThixo, akanakulawulwa nguThixo.”
- Ngoku ke usalindele ntoni? Vuka, ubhaptizwe, zixolelwe izono zakho ngokubiza igama lakhe.
- Anazi na ukuba thina sonke sibhaptiziweyo samanywa noKrestu Yesu, sabhaptizelwa ekufeni kwakhe?
- Ke ekubhaptizweni kwento eninzi yabantu, noYesu ebhaptiziwe, kwathi ethandaza, lavuleka izulu, wehlela phezu kwakhe uMoya oyiNgcwele enembonakalo yehobe. Kwavakala nezwi livela ezulwini, lisithi: “UnguNyana wam endimthandayo wena; ndikholisiwe nguwe!”
- Ngokunjalo nathi sonke, nokuba singamaJuda okanye amaGrike, nokuba singamakhoboka okanye singabakhululekileyo, sabhaptizelwa mzimbeni mnye, nguMoya omnye; futhi sasezwa kwaloo Moya mnye.
- Aba bantu bamkele uMoya oyiNgcwele njengoko samamkelayo nathi. Ngenene ke akukho namnye umntu ongalayo ukuba aba bantu babhaptizwe ngamanzi.
- Bakuyiva le ntetho, babhaptizwa egameni leNkosi uYesu. UPawulos wababeka izandla, batsho bamamkela uMoya oyiNgcwele, baza bathetha iilwimi, belithetha ilizwi likaThixo.
- Abantu abaninzi balwamkela olu daba, baza babhaptizwa. Baba ngamawaka amathathu abantu abongezelelwayo enanini labo.
- UPawulos wabachazela wathi: “Ubhaptizo lukaYohane lona lwalusalatha inguquko. Yena wayebaxelela abantu ukuba bazinikele kulowo wayesiza emva kwakhe; nguYesu ke lowo.”
- Wasisindisa. Kwakungengakuba senze misebenzi mihle, kodwa kwakungenxa yenceba yakhe. Wasihlamba ngoMoya oyiNgcwele, wasizala ngokutsha, saza safumana ubomi obutsha.
- Ke nam bendingamazi, kodwa lowo wandithumayo ukuba ndibhaptize ngamanzi, nguye owathi kum: ‘Lowo ùbone uMoya esihla phezu kwakhe, ahlale kuye, nguye obhaptiza ngoMoya oyiNgcwele.’
- Ngoko ke masizishiye iimfundiso zabaqalayo, siqhubele phambili kwezo zamakholwa akhulileyo. Masingabi saphindela emva, sibeka iziseko zokukholwa kuThixo, nenguquko kwimisebenzi ephuthileyo esasiyenza, sifundisa ngobhaptizo, nokubekwa kwezandla, ngokuvuka kwabafileyo, nomgwebo ongunaphakade.
- Mna okunene ndinibhaptiza ngamanzi, ndibonisa ukuguquka kwenu; kodwa lowo uzayo emva kwam unamandla kunam. Andikufanelanga nokukhulula izihlangu ezi zakhe. Yena uya kunibhaptiza ngoMoya oyiNgcwele nangomlilo.
