1 | Can we be baptized with the Holy Ghost? | Matt 3:11 | BradK | 173133 | ||
Hi Nancy, Thank you for sharing:-) However, (and I don't mean to be pointed) you haven't answered my question. 1. Are you saying that being complete in Him (Col. 2:10) is NOT enough? 2. You say, "in Acts they were filled more than twice." What Bible verses support this statement? 3. You keep referring to experiences and general Books of the Bible, but What specific SCRIPTURES support your stance? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Brad, (funny my brothers name is brad) I know all the scriptures to back up my words. I will take the time now to look them all up. The word is hidden in my heart by His Spirit. That is the our Complete Work of Christ. The Holy Spirit within so no man need to teach us. I speak scripture. Question one. Being Complete in Him is enough. Yet the workings of the Holy Spirit are the gifts and fruits and these may take time to be evident in our life. Fruits are love joy peace patience ... etc. I am sure you know the scriptures. The 9 gifts of the Holy Spirit, are in Corinthians 12:8-10. These can be manifest immediately or need some time to develop and perfect. They are all the complete work of Christ, yet the on going work of the Holy Spirit within. Acts 8:16 "(For as yet (the Holy Ghost) was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptised in the name of the Lord Jesus." The second baptism confirmed. Question 2: Jesus breathed on them and said Receive the Holy Ghost. John 20:22 Then in Acts chapter 2:4 they were filled and spoke in tongues.. 2:15 is where it says they are not drunk as you suppose. Acts 4:31 Third time: And when they prayed the place was shaken where they were assembled together and they were all filled with the HOly Ghost and they spoke the word with boldness. More than twice confirmed. Question 3. What specific things did I say are you referring to, so that I can back it up for you? My experiences are real. If you do not believe me than you are not my true brother in Christ. God is a blessing and a delight. Delight yourself in Him! He loves you!!! nancygorman |

What is the "full gospel"? One hears a lot of talk about the "full gospel". The implication is that some may have a partial gospel while others may have a half gospel, but only an elite few are blessed with knowing the "full gospel." But the Word of God alone defines the full gospel. It is defined in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. "Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain. "For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures." 1 Cor 15:1-4 (NASB) There you have it. The Gospel is the death, burial and resurrection of Christ, according to the scriptures. This is the full gospel. Grace to you, Kalos |

Kalos, Are you saying that the promise of the Holy Spirit, aka the Comforter (John 14:26), The Spirit of Truth (14:17), who is literally the Spirit of Christ (2 Cor 3:17), is not a part of that full gospel? Nancy |

Nancy: Being filled with the Spirit is an essential part of walking in Christ. Yet where does Scripture actually call this the "full gospel"? Scripture, as I've pointed out, defines the gospel as the death, burial and resurrection of Christ according to the Scriptures. Let us not add to nor take away from the words of this Book. I'm not denying the reality of the Spirit in the believer's life. I am merely stressing that we need to use biblical language to express biblical truth. The very WORDS of Scripture are inspired. Every word is important. I believe that all nine gifts of the Spirit, including tongues, are still in operation today and that none have ceased. "Be filled with the Spirit" is a command that is still binding today.

I thought your were responding to the question about being baptized in the Spirit when you were comparing it to the full gospel term. Very Good. | ||||||
