THE HOLY SPIRIT
Part 4: The Baptism of the Holy Spirit |
|
|
While many people today receive John's baptism of
repentance, they are either ignorant or ignore the fact there is
also a baptism of Jesus Christ in the Holy Spirit. This was made
evident when Philip preached to the Samaritans. As a result, the
church in Jerusalem sent Peter and John to make sure that Jesus'
instructions were carried out. What happened next contradicts what
many denominations believe today. The Samaritans were Christians but
they were not baptized in the Holy Spirit. We know this because they
received the Holy Spirit the moment Peter and John laid hands on
them. The same thing happened when Paul came to Ephesus. This makes
it clear that salvation and the baptism of the Holy Spirit are two
distinct events. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is so important that
Jesus barred the disciples from witnessing until they had received
it. The Holy Spirit will equip you with power so that you can live a
victorious life in Christ Jesus, positively impacting your ability
to witness, pray, teach, praise God, and receive guidance from the
Lord. Seeking the baptism of the Holy Spirit is a no-brainer since
this is what Jesus told us to do. |
