In Revelation 2:7, it says, “…To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life…” The first step to overcoming is the Baptism of Repentance.
And as we learned in our last article, the Baptism in Water was the seconded step. All of these involve overcoming. Ok, is there anything else?
In Acts 2:1-39 it says, “…and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost…”
The baptism in the Holy Ghost.
Now this gift of the Holy Ghost is not given to a few, but to all that are grafted into the vine, our Lord Jesus Christ.
John the Baptist said in Mark 1:8, “I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.”
John 14:26, “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.”
So, we see here that the Baptism in the Holy Ghost is important because he the Comforter (Holy Ghost) will teach you how to overcome. If you follow the first two steps, then Jesus will baptize you with the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost in turn will lead you out of sin; making you an overcomer, thus giving you access to the Tree of Life.
Acts 2:4, “And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.”
