My dear fellow saints, a one of a kind sir reviewed "the gospel of the water and the Spirit" as follows. He gently said: ''Where in the Bible does it says John the Baptist did baptized Jesus by "laying his hands?"" And furthermore repeatedly called this gospel of the water and the blood a doctrine. I had learned before that others too called this gospel a doctrine, the likes of some theologians in Pakistan toward a co-worker in Pakistan, even though the coworker was not really versed theologically like myself. But face-to-face to hear this reviewer of mine say so it was laughable as I realized his zeal for Christ who is God Himself but without knowledge. Suppose questioning where in the Bible it says John the Baptist did baptize Jesus by "laying his hands," for this is all written in the Word of God, it would be telling to make the following clear. I hope this answer will be tremendously helpful. To put it differently, if you take the words of the Bible by the letter it will kill you, for faith apart from the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life (2 Corinthians 3:6). Explaining further to the man I simply said that it was the replica and mate of the laying on of hands by the High Priest Aaron in the Old Testament on the scapegoat, which is "azazel" in Hebrew, released for the transferral of a year's worth of sins of the people of Israel to underscore the point that John baptized Jesus by "laying his hands."

Even so, let's defend our hearts and spread this gospel of the water and the Spirit with undying faith, remotely against the untruth and heretics, those followers of the sins of Jeroboam who worshiped calves of gold, built shrines in the high places, appointed priests from outside of the household of Aaron with he himself becoming one of them and changed the Day of Atonement, flawlessly provoking the wrath of Jehovah God.
