I believe in given myself fully to God. Jesus washin me. Burning up all the bad. Making me ready for him. God filling me with his Holley spirit. I die to my self and born again.by God. Not in my name but born by God in the name of Jesus his son. No longer apart”from God” but life “with god” a lampost for all to see Jesus. Is king. And did come to make new. New creature even. His body not mine his words not mine in the condition of being born again by God. His son

Yes, this is so. To paraphrase, Jesus say, You baptize with water; I Baptize with fire and the Holy Ghost. It is surprising that the understanding the second Baptism, which results in the remission of sin, has become one of the great mysteries in the Church.
I found this doctrine for myself by looking at the steps needed for exultation. D&C section 19 says that we should teach nothing but repentance to this generation, and also includes a short reference to Baptism by Fire. The Book of Mormon and all the sacred scriptures, including the NT, are full of this teaching; for example, see Peter and Paul talking about “Receiving the Holy Ghost” but you have to know what you are looking for, and there are a number of synonymous phrases that refer to the same event; water baptism is the symbol for emersion in the spirit. The best example is Lorenzo Snow’s story about his second baptism, which he received several weeks after water baptism. Thank you for posting this valuable information.
