22倘若基督不是赐生命的灵,我们就无法浸入基督里。……我们要浸入基督里,基督就必须是围绕我们的纽玛(pneuma),空气,那灵。……我们不可能浸入一位只在诸天之上的基督。但我们可以浸入那是纽玛、是那灵的基督。林前十二章十三节证实这事,那里告诉我们,我们在一位灵里受浸,成了一个身体。 这里的灵乃是包罗万有、经过过程的三一神。我们已在这灵里,就是在经过过程的三一神里受浸,成了一个身体。所以,我们若要浸到这一个神圣的实际里,基督就必须是赐生命的灵。每当我们为别人施浸时,我们应当告诉他们,三一神成了经过过程、赐生命的灵,就在他们的周围,他们需要受浸,浸到这神圣人位的实际里。
22If Christ were not the life-giving Spirit, there would be no way for us to be baptized into Christ…For us to be baptized into Christ, Christ must be the pneuma, the air, the Spirit all around us…We cannot be baptized into a Christ who is only in the heavens. But we can be baptized into the Christ who is the pneuma, the Spirit. This is proved by 1 Corinthians 12:13, where we are told that in one Spirit we were baptized into one Body. The Spirit here is the allinclusive, processed Triune God. In the Spirit, the processed Triune God, we have been baptized into one Body. Therefore, for us to be baptized into such a divine reality, Christ must be the life-giving Spirit. Whenever we baptize others, we should tell them that the Triune God as the processed life-giving Spirit is all around them and that they need to be baptized, immersed, into the reality of this divine person.
