Brian got baptised on 6JAN13 along with Ah Qiang and 3 other YAG people
God came.
Told Brian about it and ask Brian to tell Ah Qiang, and then since TG was there he also heard about it.
So he asked me about it just then when we went to his house to talk to Lucas about the wedding catering plans for J&W's wedding 27JAN13....
XN:
u interested in what happened during baptism?
actually there's more that happened that sunday
i just didnt say to Brian because it didn't concern him. It concerned the pastor...
TG: Sure!
XN: now?
TG: Yes
XN:
or find some time face to face?
haha
okie
TG: 8:07pm
Thank you
XN: yea, sorry was aware was cutting you short just before
since was trying to figure things out with Lucas.....
super soz
TG: Not at all
XN:
yea... so
for a few weeks now
i usually... when i sit at church
i leave a seat for God right beside me
TG: Wow , special favor
XN: the seat will be empty, and i invite Him to attend it with me if He feels like it
because u know the verse "Here I am, I stand at the door and knock, whoever hears my voice, opens the door, I will come in, and eat with him, and him with me"
(hopefully quoted correctly)
well, that Bible verse in the Biblical context was such that -- actually some people in the olden churches/synnagogues were so caught up with supposed church things, church 'worship', that they completely forgot God, and just left Him out of the whole picture
so he said, if even one of you invites me into the church, I will come in, and be with you, and you with me.
so i .. make it a habbit to
anyways, so
He did, that time
a few times Christ came and sat beside me, to my right.
TG: What an anointing
XN:
i actually am very fearful
what that happens
cuz i know.. i'm a sinnner
as the service goes on, He would sometimes get up and walk around... seeing what each of His individual believers' worship ministry, see how they worship Him
that was a few months ago now
but anyway
last week, I invited the Holy Spirit to sit to my left
cuz there was a seat
and as they got up the stage, there was a prompt, like a voice but not audible
prompting, "watch carefully. 細心看。"
so ... I did.
TG: Wow
XN: just as all the people go up the stage, remembering a Bible verse, I asked God the Father to ask Jesus to baptise each one of them in the Holy Spirit, because there are some who are baptised in water yet God Himself does not live in them -- such a scenario is recorded in the Bible
but ... i usually ask Jesus to do so anyway, every single time Logos has baptism, so nothing special there on my part
so anyways, back to current time, I watched.
TG: So tangible His presence!
XN: yea, absolutely, He is present alright.
and there was He, I remember Brian's most vividly because firstly I was interested since Brian is my friend, and secondly, He was wearing a grey blazer which was easier to see
so as each person knelt down at basin
the Holy Spirit stood just right behind the person
like.... i would guess probably touching the blazer close. No gap.
and when pastor take the water out of the basin, once for Father, once for Son -- He eagerly patiently waits
once for Spirit -- and at that very moment simultaneously an energy who is the Spirit Himself in me would split, like..... a .... spiritual pillar which gets one corner pulled out.... and yet almost like those cell splitting photos we learnt in science, the original cell is complete, and the new cell is linked -- and although two things u know it is one and the same
that is on where i am sitting, and then that new cell which is still the Holy Spirit would be somehow transmitted on stage so fast, and then... the Holy Spirit would enter the person from his back.
'enter' feels like u gotta lift up your feet, but it is nothing like that. like... suddenly He is outside, then suddenly He is inside, you dont know how it happen -- and the Holy Spirit who was waiting behind Brian lived in Him
like a circular Spirit
like a fuzzy static disc of energy but it's more than energy -- you know it's not an "it" but a "who" because He is living
entered from his back near the heart
so upper back
and the first thing He did when He entered was to expand -- bigger bigger bigger until He completely filled Brian's whole body, not just back, and including his knees which were kneeling down and not really visible from where i was sitting
...
...
u know... i learnt something from this -- u know how we always sing "Holy Spirit, please fill us 聖靈充滿“
but actually it is no need... for us to sing that. Because we have been completely filled with Him the moment we got baptised in the Holy Spirit by Jesus.
and I realised that He never half-fills someone. He always fully fills someone
從來沒有一半充滿一個人，祂總是完全充，並且充到滿，以致福杯滿溢的那麼滿
because that is what he did with Brian
and at that moment, i also felt something interesting -- i felt like the body of Christ just added another member, and a joy from the Holy Spirit swelled up in my heart
it's not from me feeling happy of my own accord, if u see that distinction
and that actually that new split out part of the same Holy Spirit joins Brian to me like the house got one more brick added....
TG: Mom calling
XN: hehe
lemme know when u finish reading the last part and i will continue
TG: I did now.obviously my iPhone can't do two things at a time
XN: 
8:41pm
yea, no probs
same with my phone haha
God created us very special... we can do 10 things at a time....
or more...
haha
super machine of flesh He hath made
so fearfully and wonderfully made but His exact hands, we are.
*made by His exact hands
...
...
back to baptism
so anyways, this exact same experience happened every single time to the four people i witnessed
the Holy Spirit like a static grey living energy being would 'hover' outside and go in and live with the person being baptised
but with each person it is a new split of the original cell.... so new distinct 3D cell that is given to each person but yet still one and the same Holy Spirit, compeltely linked
and why i saw only 4 out of 5 was because i realised i didn't take a photo with one of the girls kneeling down on the cushion so i wanted to take, and I was looking through the phone camera screen and not directly at her.
so i didn't deliberately go see if the Holy Spirit lived in her or not, but now I really regret not looking
我疏忽了
....
...
...
and then it came Holy Communion time
and you know how the pastor says "on the night Jesus was betrayed, He took bread, broke it and said --- this is my body, do this in remembrance of me" ?
well... the most intersting thing happened!
this is the part i didnt tell Brian about
there, where the pastor was behind the pulpit, was the Son of Man
i want to say "like the Son of Man -- 有一位好像人子的。"
but I am so sure it is Him that I would just say it "is" 是, rather than
像
now He, He is very different from the Holy Spirit
He had a body
a head
hair
*He has
and He glows
...
...
... lemme quickly finish typing anyway since... i gotta run... gotta finish the wedding doco
anyways
....
the Son of Man
or maybe a messenger of His
was where the pastor was
and as pastor said "this is my body, given for you, do this in rememberance of me" and broke the bread, Jesus's hands were at the same place where the pastor's were
but they were bigger
much bigger hands
and they broke the bread together
Just finish call
Jesus was taller than pastor, his head about at least 30cm or 50cm taller than pastor
same thing with the cup, "this is my blood of the new covenant, shed for you, do this in rememberance of me." and the Son of Man lifted the cup with pastor
...
i was baptised back in 2000, so 13 yrs ago
and for the first time in the 13 years.... I felt that I received my little bread and cup directly from Jesus
頭一次覺得祂親手遞給我
我接過了，就吃了
當人子在台上擘餅的時候，聖靈又回到我身邊，坐在我旁邊的椅子上，一起看耶穌擘餅
（其實聖靈從來沒有離開過）
TG: Finish reading now, I can only say, thank you Jesus
XN:
yes, verily.
i learnt something while that happens
u know how we always say Trinity is three but one
i always have trouble. I know it in my brain, but i dont understand how three is one
i believe it but dont understand
doesnt work with a maths brain
But see this little diagram
is how/what i felt when Holy Spirit was sitting beside me and the Son of Man on stage --- the first one shows how Holy Spirit (white) and Jesus (blue), actually one circle, then they separate themselves out to do different things.
the second diagram is -- even though now out and independent, see how the blue one overlaps inside the white one still (i can only draw 2D but i actually felt a 3D understanding)
then likewise are the Trinity inseparable
even though three distinct persons, but still one
(3D version actually is 光在光的里面，雖然分出來， 卻還在裡面）
