Baptism unto Death (Legend of the Seeker)
Every Christian must come into this understanding that they moment the gave their life to Christ, they entered into a covenant of reconciliation which was the ministry of Jesus on earth. We believing in him automatically means we come to terms to the fact that we don't have a life anymore (Rom 6:23). We live the life of Christ (2 Cor 5:14-17). If you've seen the movie 'Legend of the seeker' they tried to portray this. The mord-sith having the breath of life, the sisters of the light and dark able to summon spirits into a dead body, the confessor being able to compel people to do her will until her death; but a touch of the confessor on the mordsith would bring about her death because the mordsith we're evil, the seeker fighting for truth and justice under the rule of evil and tyranny.
If you are killed and another spirit is summoned into your body, everyone that knew you would still see your face and the new spirit could decide to adjust to you former life or make the people who know you see that you have changed and it is not you anymore but someone else. He may not say it literally but his attitude towards your friends and relative would change (Phil 1:21). This is what should happen to us the moment we became Christians but because the body has a soul within, it fights the spirit strongly and so the first war the spirit must conquer is the soul, followed by family and friends (especially those that are not working according to the will of God), then the nation.
Still using 'legend of the seeker' to illustrate baptism into death, our soul is given the breath of life the moment the spirit steps into our body. We then become a seeker who would have to fight evil as we grow in Christ and as we are gradually putting our body under subjection (Eph 6:11-20). At this stage we would be tortured by mordsith because the body is not in fully subjection to the spirit. The moment we walk the path of holiness and become a confessor, a touch from us kills the mordsith (2 Cor 2:16).
