Pentecost is another spiritual birth but this time it is the baptism of fire where we learn to hear God's voice and obey it.
Ooops, mistake -- the usage of the word "birth" above is incorrect. It should read: "Pentecost is another spiritual
baptism ...
In the NT, it teaches of two baptism : water and fire. The first is the baptism of water by which is symbolized by the Passover. The second is the baptism of fire that is symbolized by Pentecost.
Let's elaborate on the spiritual birth that happens at Passover to again try to show the difference between keeping the type and Shadow of the Feasts versus keeping the spiritual realm between "our ears". I would like
to add some thoughts in brown to my description below
Passover is the spiritual birth when we get baptized thru water like it is with the physical birth as we come out from the water of the womb of our mother. .
I said about Passover in
page 3 the following :
"The month of Abib[Passover] was a memorial set for the birth of God’s firstborn coming out of Egypt. (Ex 13:3,9; Deut 16:1; Ex 4:22) All needed to be circumcised to keep the Passover when they got out. As a new born nation, they got baptized in the red sea(1Cor 10:1,2). It was a new beginning for the nation --a new corporate spiritual birth experience. The Passover set the pattern of the beginning of the path of the new spiritual life.
The Literal Type of Passover happened
corporatly with the nation of Israel. However the spiritual anti-type is being fulfill in any new converts that
......1)comes out of their "Egyptian mother"[bondage of sin],
......2)that applies the blood of Jesus on the two sides posts(our ears) and the lintels(our forehead) of their house[body temple],
......3)"our heart" gets circumcized, and
......4)we become baptized by water [=repentance or turning from our own ways by submitting to the Lord's will].
......5)there's other symbolism, but I think the above is enough for our purposes.
So anyone that says the Feast of Passover is nail to the cross, has missed the whole point. Nor yet do understand or see the intend of what the law teaches via the types and shadow. The same can be said of the feasts keepers that preaches that we must keep the types and shadows of the feasts at the specific "appointed time" arguing amongst themselves which calendar to go by, or day to start, and etc... They have equally missed the point the Lord is trying to teach us.
Every day Passover is being spiritually fulfilled on a INDIVIDUAL level whenever someone comes out of "Mama Egypt". The nation's of Israel's mother was Egypt. Egypt symbolizes the bondage of sin where we were kept captive until the Lord came to free us.
Passover is not nail to the cross and it is fulfilled in someone every day and will continue to be fulfilled again and again during and after the millenium. [Note : there is a SECOND PASSOVER (Num 9:6-14) also, which points to another spiritual & prophetic fulfillment.]
Nor are any other feasts nailed to the cross, or any of the other Sabbaths, or even any of the sacrificial services. The form of applying these "has changed", but not the law. The law was always a symbolic expression (a lauguage) of the Lord's mind that teaches us the prophetic and spiritual pattern of the plan of salvation that is being fulfilled in all of us.
I hope this helps to clarify things a little.
