Spirit. As we can understand the water baptism, the baptism

of the Holy Spirit can be understood also. As the water
baptism is received through the water, so the baptism of the

Holy Spirit is received through the Holy Spirit. If the Water
baptism belongs to the flesh, the Baptism of the Holy Spirit

is the spiritual. But the bap-tism of Fire is neither the baptism
of water nor the baptism of the Holy Spirit. It is beyond

these.
Within the structural framework of the Tabernacle, the

baptism of the Holy Spirit is done at the altar of burnt
offering. The altar of burnt offering is positioned in the

courtyard. The court-yard of the tabernacle is a place of
preparation for worship; it isn’t a place to give worship.

It is because the courtyard of the tabernacle is a place of
preparation for the process of becoming a true worshiper.

That is why the undergoing of baptism in the Holy Spirit
cannot fully mean that the receiver has become a true

worshiper.
Without the water baptism and the baptism of the Holy

Spirit, one cannot suddenly re-ceive the baptism of Fire.
As one achieves maturity by going through the childhood

phase, the baptism of Fire can only be received by first going
through the water baptism and the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
