Austin CFC Zac Poonen conf 2018 -Part 1 - Three Titles of Jesus
Austin CFC Zac Poonen Conference June 9 & 10, 2018 Theme - Jesus Our Forerunner Part 1 - Three Titles of Jesus
Summary
The speaker discusses two foundational promises of the New Testament: being saved from sin (Matthew 1:21) and being baptized with the Holy Spirit (Matthew 3:11). He stresses the critical difference between merely being forgiven sins and being truly saved, warning that many Christians mistake forgiveness for salvation. Furthermore, he clarifies that 'baptism' in the Greek sense means immersion, applying this concept to the Holy Spirit as a thorough filling or immersion.

Jesus will save His people from their sinsThe angel told Joseph that Jesus would save His people from their sins, which is different from merely forgiving them.Matthew 1:21
Distinguishing forgiveness from salvationDavid experienced the pardon of iniquities in the Old Testament, but the new promise of the New Testament is active salvation and deliverance from sin.Psalm 103:2
Jesus will baptize you with the Holy SpiritThe second promise of the New Testament is the baptism in the Holy Spirit, which means immersion in the Spirit.
Having the Spirit versus being filled with the SpiritEvery born-again believer has the Spirit of Christ, but many lock certain rooms of their heart and are not filled or immersed in the Holy Spirit.Romans 8:9
Jesus Christ our forerunnerThe third title of Jesus, found primarily in Hebrews, is our forerunner who has entered inside the veil.
The pattern of the tabernacleThe Old Testament tabernacle was a copy of heavenly things, depicting the outer court, the holy place, and the most holy place.
Knowing God intimately as DadThe Holy Spirit comes within believers to cry out Abba, Father, enabling them to live without anxiety because they trust their Heavenly Father.Romans 8:15
Following the footsteps of the ForerunnerUnlike Old Testament saints who had laws and commandments, New Testament believers look to Jesus as the forerunner who ran the race and left an example to follow.
From academic scribes to life-transformed disciplesJesus contrasts Old Covenant academic scribes with New Covenant disciples who live out the truth through the divine nature and life of Christ.
