Hi, servant4... Welcome to the forum! Very broadly, in salvation the works of the Members of the Trinity are described as follows: The Father chooses, the Son saves, and the Holy Spirit seals. Baptism of the Holy Spirit is something that occurs for every believer as part of salvation. It is not a "second blessing." In the Baptist understanding of the salvation, we interpret the Scripture as teaching: "The baptism with the Spirit brings the one who is thus baptized into the organic union of the body and under the imputed blessings and power of Christ who is the Head. It establishes an identity between the believer and his Lord which is as a member of a body to the head, or a branch to the vine. There are upwards of 130 passages which declare that the Christian is in Christ... By the most explicit terms it is declared that the Spirit is the Baptizer and the body of Christ is that into which He baptizes. There was a time when the individual was not in Christ, which is the present state of all who are unsaved. There follows a time when the individual, being saved is in Christ, This great change is wrought by the Spirit and results in eternal transformation for the saved one." --A. C. Gabelin (1932) You asked if Christ directs the Holy Spirit to the saved. Passages like Luke 24:49, John 15:26, and Acts 2:33 seem to say so. On the other hand, passages like Luke 11:13, John 14:26, and Acts 15:8 seem to say it is God the Father who does the directing. Perhaps it is not "either or", but "both and." In Him, Doc |
