I dunno. Is there something from Jesus which would indicate this?

[Praxeas]

Acts 8:30-31 NKJV

So Philip ran to him, and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?” And he said, “How can I, unless someone guides me?” And he asked Philip to come up and sit with him.

We figuratively drink of the Spirit, as it were water. Thus the analogy used by Christ.

We figuratively drink of his blood and eat of his flesh when we are born again. We celebrate this with a typology of his blood and body, the communion elements.
