I was baptized by immersion of believers in water
Above I have told you for giving miraculous dream vision regarding how the enormous size of Yeshua's arm shot out of heaven, took me to the crystal river and showed me that I will receive the Holy Spirit. After that, I had read through the entire Bible and found that the Lutheran Church teaches water baptism quite different from the apostles chosen by Adonai Yeshua in Acts of the New Testament.
According to it, one must first come to faith, repent, and confess his sins. Then he must confesses his faith in Yeshua HaMashiach who is the Only Begotten Son of Yehowah Elohim, who was nailed to the cross, died on the Calvary and rose 3 days later from the dead. These Hebrew names were originally used, but were later replaced by other pseudonyms invented by humans.
Later, when I once went alone to the Zion Church, there was a baptismal event for believers. The shepherd, Vilho Soininen, read the passages in the Acts that I had read myself and told me the reasons why they baptize in this way. I asked for a brief speech at the meeting and I did.
I asked Vilho, "May I come now baptized, as I read just today those points at home and come to the conclusion that, so shall believers be baptized by immersion as you taught?" Vilho immediately realized my situation and said, "Of course, if you first confess your faith in Jesus Christ with your mouth." In addition, he said to a woman, "Go and take a white baptism-suit the size of this young man from the office wardrobe. Please, bring it here."
Just that evening I was baptized, when I first testified that I believe in Jesus Christ, who is God's only begotten Son, my Lord and Savior. Baptist was Mike Billys from Savonia. Samuel delivered a speech after the baptism, saying, "To all of you now baptized, wait for the gift of the Holy Spirit, for He will come and fill you with His power, as in the verses of Acts. 2: 38-39 is promised, soon after this." I was baptized on Juli 23, 1972.
A dream about the rapture of believers
An older woman who was baptized that night said she had woken up less than a week later to be filled with the Holy Spirit and started talking with the new tongues. That gift of mercy remained her permanent. I, too, yearned to experience the same and said in my heart's prayer to the Lord, "With all my heart I want to be filled with the Holy Spirit. My faith is not strong enough for it to happen this month, but I believe it can happen next month, August."
While waiting for that wonderful promise to be fulfilled, I visited Helen and her husband Reijo in the E-House of Kustaankartano Retirement Home, an old women's nursing home in Oulunkylä, Helsinki. We organized there on Thursday evenings a worship hour. Heli and Matti did play the guitar and sung beautiful spiritual songs that we had previously learned together at them.
The last day of August 31.8. came. It was Thursday and I had not yet been filled with the Holy Spirit. As we were spending the evening worship hour, the following happened: One of the familiar Christian women was restless throughout the worship hour. She did lift up his hand at the end of the worship and gestured to it. Heli asked what's the matter(?)
The woman asked if she could tell us what she saw in dream just last night(?)
Heli said, "Yes, of course you can, because the Bible says that when you come together, everyone have something to give, one has a prophetic sleep, one has a revelation, one has a teaching etc." She began to tell us what she was dreaming about. It dealt with Jesus' second coming as follows:
>>"I was in sleep as a young girl, about 5 years old, walking towards the big sandy beach in the summer. The sun was shining and when I got to the beach I saw a huge crowd dressed in cool summer clothes. They all stood still without saying a word and looked east as if waiting for something to happen. I wondered what they were waiting for?
Then the angel came to me and said, "They are waiting for Jesus, who will soon bring them home to heaven." I thought it might be a great thing because I didn't know that so many were waiting for him! The crowd was on the beach as far as the eye can see, far to the horizon! I continued walking happily along the same path and it took me to a large meadow. In the middle of the meadow was a huge oak tree. I stepped further from the path to the meadow to see the oak better.
When I looked closely at it, I saw my horror huge viper wrapped around its hull from the base to the top. I hoped it don't realize to go to the nearby sandy beach to meet that huge crowd of people. It was then that the serpent was descended down from the tree and went his head upright forward, along the path and slowly towards the sandy beach. It didn't saw me."<<
That was a woman's dream in sleep and I felt the cold trembling of fear in my heart and it was a warning to me too! I went as usual after that evenings worship meeting on Thursday, also to the Jesus House at Vartiokylä, in Helsinki, Veikko and Lahja Hursti's meetings. While in the bus going there, I prayed in my heart saying,
"Oh, my dear Savior. I am earnestly waiting for the Holy Spirit, and now it's already the last day of August. Please do not disappoint your promise, but please answer my prayer, in which I asked for this experience latest today? From that terrible dream I realize that I really need your Holy Spirit, who can defend and help me, a weak man, against that big and evil snake. Please, give me the Holy Spirit this evening."
Upon arriving at the Jesus-House, I saw that there were a lot of people gathered and at least 10 people I had never seen there before. I had been there almost daily for a few weeks in the evenings. When I opened the front door, I felt as if I had entered an atmosphere of peace. Veikko Hursti welcomed me and asked me to tell everyone something about spiritual refreshment.
I told of a woman who told me about her dream. An unknown man said, "I was studying that story in the Spirit and found that you did not speak in the Holy Spirit." I replied, "Right! I couldn't talk like that, because I'm still waiting for Him to come in me." Then Veikko told me a big message!
In the early week, when they were at home in knee prayers with Lahja, the Lord's angel appeared to her and showed the face and names of 10 different people in the revelation. The angel said to the Lahja:
"Invite those persons to come to the Jesus House next Thursday, for then the Lord will fill with the Holy Spirit many who are waiting for the Holy Spirit's gift." Veikko said, "All those people are here now and it's time to start praying to you for the fullness of the Holy Spirit."
Two people came next to me, one to my left and the other to my right. They put their hands on me and asked me to thank the Holy Spirit. After a while of praise, I heard a voice say, "You are not yet pure enough to receive the Holy Spirit."
I recognized it as the voice of the devil and said quietly in my heart, "Now I am purified by faith in the blood of Jesus." He replied: "You are still not clean." Then I said: "I dive through faith in the blood of Jesus, and now you the devil, you must close your mouth, because I'm cleaned now."
Then he stopped his lies and accusations and I was filled with the Holy Spirit and started talking with the new tongues. The devil was trying to stop me from being filled with the Holy Spirit until the end! Two other young people were filled with the Holy Spirit that evening!
That night, a female prophet prophesied to me that, in addition to the gift to speak with the new tongues, I received a gift of prophecy and a gift to do powerful deeds. It was a female prophet named Anni Kanerva, used by Adonai, at least three times later she prophesyed important events in my life, all of which have come true! HalleluYah!
Anni has already been allowed to move into eternity. RIP. That night I prayed long with the new tongues to strengthen my spirit as I was a newborn baby in the large family of Yehowah Elohim. That prayer was really necessary because the next day the devil did try to destroy me spiritually! You'll find it the next chapter.
Therefore, I urge all believers to pray for those received the Holy Spirit recently, for if it is neglected, great spiritual destruction can occur and those spiritual babies may end up in mental hospitals, closed departments. I saw some sad examples of them!

I was soon getting the Holy Spirit
