seems that whichever Bibvle used, that ALL of us already have all spiritual blessings, so why need the "baptism?"

I read Wesley's life-story and found "the 'baptism'" is sheer pride in self-justification. It's a big bluff, noisy and off-showing. But fruitless like the cursed fig tree. I loath it.

Strange, as that second act of blessing of Grace was to allow one to obtain 'sinless perfection"

No one has to seek the baptism of the HS. Everyone is baptized by the HS upon believing or coming to faith in Christ.

That is why I keep asking Awaken to give us JUST a verse showing that we are to seek after that further 'Blessing!"

Strange?!
Precisely because "to obtain 'sinless perfection"" is that BIG BLUFF!

It might seem trivial, but right here is the crux : Everyone believing or coming to faith in Christ IS baptized by the Holy Spirit. Not, "upon"!

About your signature-line, >The more corrupt the state, the more it legislates. ~Tacitus< ... isn't it more about the state of man than 'the state'? I liked it!
