Hi Ken, Read John 14, specifically verses 16-31. Also read Luke 24: 48 And ye are witnesses of these things. 49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high. 50 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them. The disciples were instructed to go to Jerusalem and tarry waiting for the Holy Spirit. They did as they were instructed. However after that the Holy spirit was received by the laying on of hands, and also by the preaching of the gospel(Peter). So the answer is yes they had instructions from the Word, Jesus. God bless |

Greetings searcher, long time no see! What happened in John 20:22? The disciples received the Holy Spirit exactly as Jesus said and exactly as He had prophesied. The disciples HAD to receive the Holy Spirit at this point, otherwise John 7:39 would not be true. John 20:22 fulfills John 7:39 whereby those believing Jesus had been raised from the dead (Rom 10:9) would receive the Holy Spirit. What happened in Acts 2:4? Exactly what it says "And they were all FILLED with the Holy Spirit..." (not the indwelling of the Holy Spirit which happened when they believed in John 20:22). Note: Jesus referred to the initial FILLING of the Holy Spirit as being "baptized with the Holy Spirit" in Acts 1:5. So those who protest that being “filled with the Holy Spirit” is improperly referred to as being “baptized with the Holy Spirit”, are also trying to correct Jesus! Be ye filled with the Spirit! retxar |
