I agree!
If one shall follow Jesus, they must come to understand that we are to NOW follow Him in His death and His Resurrection!
But it is a process, that is in the reverse order of His!
Jesus, through faith in God the Father:
1. He who was Spirit,
2. became mortal Flesh,
3. Baptized/infilled by the Holy Spirit of God the Father,
4. and thus became the first new creature of Spirit/man
5. In God, died the death of man, for man.
6. Resurrected Bodily with New Life and Immortality.
Man, through faith in God the Son:
1. We who are mortal flesh,
2. become Spirit,
3. Baptized/infilled by the Holy Spirit of God the Father and God the Son (Rom. 8:9)
4. And thus become a new creatures of man/Spirit.
5. In Christ, dies the death to self.
6. Awaiting bodily resurrection through Jesus with New Life and Immortality
