Is it correct that you subscribe to the teaching in the following video about taking Bread and the Wine / Holy Communion?
How Often and Who Should/Shouldn't Take Communion? — Ask a Pastor, Dr. Joel C. Hunter
The reason that spiritual baptism can take place before the ritual of water baptism is because we cannot see the repentance in a man's heart. Cornelius' household received the Spirit, and Peter then suggested that they be water baptised [Acts 10:47]. How do you explain that?
Matthew 3:13-17
13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
Are you saying that you agree that a person must Repent before they can receive the Holy Spirit? The act of Repentance is Water Baptism.
The Scripture in Acts 10:47 is a mystery. We must follow the example of the Jesus Christ/Yeshua Messiah. The Spirit of Elohim/God came upon Yeshua/Jesus after John the Baptist Water Baptism.
