The Journeys of Gubir and Jaresh
1And we have spoken unto you concerning the washing of water. For the washing by water is a covenant between man and God. And it is also a symbol. For a man who is washed of water shall covenant unto God to follow His commandments. And he shall go down into the water. And he shall stand in the water. And he shall be submerged in the water by a man who hath been ordained after that holy order. And he shall shortly be brought up out of the water. And thus shall be the symbol. For when a man is submerged under the water this doth represent the death of his wicked soul. And when he cometh forth out of the water this doth represent the birth of his righteous soul. And thus it shall be that every man must be born again. And there is also the washing of the Spirit. And the washing of the Spirit shall occur when the Holy Spirit cometh upon a man and remain with him. And he shall received gifts that the Spirit shall bestow. And some may receive words of wisdom. And others may receive words of knowledge. And another may receive faith. And another may receive gifts of healing. And another may receive the power to work miracles. And another may receive the gift of prophecy. And another may receive the gift to discern between good and evil spirits. And another may receive the gift of speaking languages. And another may receive the gift of interpreting languages. And all of these gifts come from the washing of the Spirit according to the abilities of man.
