The Son baptises a son of God into the Person of the Holy Spirit. As John the Baptist declared, ‘He will baptise you with the Holy Spirit and fire.’ Mat 3:11. A believer who is immersed in the Holy Spirit receives from Him the power of the seven Spirits of God, enabling their participation in the fellowship of Yahweh’s Covenant. This includes the capacity to participate in the intercession and travail of Yahweh’s prayer and to be a witness of Christ to the world, as they journey with Him in the fellowship of His offering and sufferings as a son of God and a member of His body.
Baptism into the Holy Spirit is indicated by the capacity to speak in tongues. Act 2:4. By the Spirit, a believer is able to join the intercession and travailing prayer of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Rom 8:26‑27. In this prayer meeting, the Son consults with the Holy Spirit in relation to the needs of the believer. Christ inquires of the Spirit regarding how they are connecting to Him in obedience to the instructions that the Holy Spirit takes from Christ. The Spirit uses these instructions to lead them upon the pathway of their sanctification, enabling them to do the works that Christ has accomplished for them on His offering journey.
The Son, then, in prayer, reports to the Father about the believer’s progress as His son. Rom 8:27. If the believer is obediently following the leading of the Holy Spirit, they are truly a son of God. God the Father is then for them, so who can be against them? Rom 8:31. The Father is freely giving to sons of God ‘all things’ as they walk and live in this way. 2Pe 1:3. They then proceed to understand that nothing can separate them from the love of Christ as they journey with Him in the fellowship of His sufferings. Rom 8:35‑39. These sufferings are part of their experience from Him who is I AM.

Mat 3:11
I indeed baptise you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptise you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
Act 2:4
And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Rom 8:26-27
Likewise, the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
Rom 8:31
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
2Pe 1:3
As His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue.
Rom 8:35-39
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: ‘For your sake we are killed all day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.’ Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
