Hello miller, So, are you saying that one must be TOTALLY immersed in (or by) water to be "immersed into the Holy Spirit" I'm not quite following. One either has the Spirit or they don't (Rom. 8:9) Can you clarify? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

I'm not talking about water at all. I'm confused as to what your confusion on my post is! Sorry. | ||||||

Hello miller, I'm following you as far as the scripture references you gave. Iunderstand them fine. I guess my confusion is in understanding your conclusion? I'm not sure what you're concluding in comparison to what I understand about the Spirit's work and operation in the believer! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

I am saying that you have the Holy Spirit in your life when you are born again. It is actually the Holy Spirit which baptizes us into the body of Christ. However, you are not totally immersed into the Holy Ghost. The 120 in that upper room knew Jesus Christ as their Lord and savior, yet in Acts 2:4 we see that they were all filled with the Holy Ghost. This is to be something that happens throughout the life of the beleiver. When Paul wrote, be not drunk with wine wherein is excess but be filled with the Spirit speaking to yourselves in spiritual songs singing and making meolody in your heart to the Lord, when we read this the be filled with the spirit as it reads in the King James is taken from the Greek perfect present tense, its a continuous present, just like salvation, in other words it would be 'be being filled with the Spirit' We see this in Acts 4:31, they had already been totally immersed into the Holy Ghost, yet it happens again. This is because it is something that can keep happening to the beleiver. why it has to happen more than once, I'm not sure, God knows. But from Scripture we can see that it does happen. |

Hello miller, OK, once again I'm a little confused by your terminology! What scripture tells us we are "not totally immersed into the Holy Ghost"? Are you possibly referring to Eph. 5:18?- "And do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit" The idea being that we (as believers) need to CONTINUALLY keep on being filled with the Spirit? (cf. Gal. 5:16). Example using an analogy: Cars run on gas, but they also eventually run out and need to be refilled. A car can only go so far on a tank of gas. Hence, a believer needs to be refueled so-to speak witht he Spirit. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
