1 | Jesus said He would sent the Holy Spirit | 1 John 3:24 | revpete79 | 172235 | ||
You recieve the Holy Spirit, when you accept Jesus Christ into your heart as your personal Lord and Savior by Confession of your Sin, Believing that Jesus died to take your sins upon himself, and Announce to others your faith in the Lord. Rom 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; Rom 8:15 For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, "Abba! Father!" The Baptism of the Holy Spirit which is seperate (Acts 19:2 He said to them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" And they said to him, "No, we have not even heard whether there is a Holy Spirit.") and means that you have been fully emersed in the Holy Spirit just as Baptized means that fully emersed in water. The first evidence that you have been fully emersed in the Holy Spirit is that you will speak in a tongue that you have not learned and do not understand. Acts 2:4. Five times in the Book of Acts it talks about people who recieved the Baptism of or in the Holy Spirit and 3 of those times it spacifically mentions that they spoke in tongues. It does not say it about the gentiles but when Peter is telling the Apostles about it later he says they spoke in tongues just like we did at the beginning and we Know from 1 Corinthians 12 and 14 that Paul made a habit of speaking in tongues. He is the other case not spacifacally mentioned in Acts. So it was the common practice of the early church for people to speak in tongues as evidence that they had been baptized in the Holy Spirit. This is not to be the only evidence however and this experienc should in fact be brought into question is no further evidence appears. There should come with it a greater prayer life as you allow the holy Spirit to pray through you when you don't know how to pray. Rom 8:26 In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; It should also be accompanied by a greater desire to share the Word of God with others through personal testimony of what God is doing in our lives. Acts 1:8 but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth." As Spirit filled believers we are to be witnesses for the Gospel of Jesus Christ whever we find ourselves. Just like salvation, the Baptism of or in the Holy Spirit is recieved by Faith in Jesus Christ, who is the giver of the gift. |

Acts 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit was giving them utterance. Acts 8:15 who came down and prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit. Acts 8:16 For He had not yet fallen upon any of them; they had simply been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Acts 8:17 Then they began laying their hands on them, and they were receiving the Holy Spirit. Although tongues are not mentioned here there was some obvious outward sign that could be seen or heard as Simon offered to pay for the ability to give people the Holy Spirit by the laying on of hands. How sad for him that he misinterprited what was happening. Acts 9:17 So Ananias departed and entered the house, and after laying his hands on him said, "Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road by which you were coming, has sent me so that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit." Again tongues are not spacifacally mentioned yet we do know from Pauls own testimony in 1Corinthians 14 that he spoke in tongues often, "more than you all" as he put it Acts 10:44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who were listening to the message. Acts 10:45 All the circumcised believers who came with Peter were amazed, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also. Acts 10:46 For they were hearing them speaking with tongues and exalting God. Acts 19:6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began speaking with tongues and prophesying. |
