Integrated Spiritual Summary: 

To be baptized into the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit is to be brought into the very person of the Triune God.

To be baptized into the organic union of the processed Triune God is the reality that this Person, in resurrection, has become the Spirit, enabling believers to live practically in a life union with God.

The name is the entrance; the organic union is the reality.

Baptism is the beginning; living in the Spirit is a lifelong experience.
