1 | hoyy spirit bap. evidence tounges? | Acts | retxar | 9889 | ||
Jesus said in Acts 1:5 "for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now." Was Jesus's words here not fulfilled in Acts 2:4 which says "And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance?" Notice Jesus said "baptized with the Holy Spirit" but the actual occurrence was called "filled with the Holy Spirit." How can someone really be that far off base by saying exactly what Jesus said? How can one be that wrong if they call “baptized with the Holy Spirit” and “filled the Holy Spirit” the same thing? Are they not only repeating what Jesus said? I have posted this before and no one can seem to answer that. I am in agreement that all who are born again receive the Holy Spirit as the disciples did in John 20:22. At salvation we are “baptized” into the body of Christ as in 1Cor 12:13, but to me that is not the same as what happened to the disciples in Acts 2:4, the Samaritans in Acts 8:17, Paul in Acts 9:17, or the disciples at Ephesus in Acts 19:6. As I have said before, I can say “filled” with the Holy Spirit instead of “baptized” with the Holy Spirit till Jesus returns, but when someone says “baptized with the Holy Spirit”, I can’t help but think of it as Jesus spoke of it in Acts 1:5 and was fulfilled in Acts 2:4. Please consider, in Christ Jesus, retxar |

Dear retxar, I appreciate your point of view here, but I do not wish to keep repeating myself redundantly on how I feel about this. My view on this subject can be found in my previous posts on this tree. Thank you. Blessings, Nolan |

I understand and respect how you feel about this. I had already looked over the thread, and was not asking for anything to be repeated. I did not see the Acts 1:5 and Acts 2:4 issue I brought up addressed. I may have missed something tho, so I will look back over. Thanks bro, Jesus Lives! |

Thanks for keeping word of God before us to check for ourselves. We either receive or reject and we alone must choose which we do. Thanks Jim | ||||||
