Inner Baptism Beyond Water

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that the text records an outward rite—baptism in the name of the Lord Jesus—while the inner power awaited a different movement. In Neville's psychology, this 'as yet' marks a state of consciousness not yet moved by the inner reality you seek. Water baptism is an outer sign pointing to an inner truth: the true baptism is the awakening of your I AM to its oneness with God. To receive the Spirit, turn away from chasing signs and dwell in the conviction that you are already one with the Lord Jesus within. Assume the feeling of this oneness now; imagine the Spirit falling upon your mind as a gentle, transformative light, and let that sensation saturate your thoughts until it becomes your lived awareness. When you live from that inner baptism, events realign with this state of consciousness, and the presence you crave becomes your present experience.
