1 | You need baptism of the Holy Ghost! | Acts 19:2 | tj57h@cs.com | 88708 | ||
These believers were born again, did not have the Baptism and then they received the baptism of the Holy Ghost! Every person born again is baptized into the Spirit. In this scripture these two events happened at different times, as was my experience! Love, Tim Hines |

2 | You need baptism of the Holy Ghost! | Acts 19:2 | BradK | 88713 | ||
Hi Tim, I'm still confused by your response. How exactly is it that "these two events happened at different times" as you suggest? What is not clear by 1 Cor.12:13? "For by one Spirit we were ALL baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of ONE Spirit." From my understanding of scripture, there is only ONE baptism of (by) the Spirit, not two! Possibly you can clarify and provide more of a scriptural foundation:-) Speaking The Truth In Love, BradK |

3 | You need baptism of the Holy Ghost! | Acts 19:2 | tj57h@cs.com | 88716 | ||
How do you explain this scripture? 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." Acts 19:6 the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began speaking with tongues and prophesying. Certainly the practice of becoming born again and being baptized in the Holy Sprit are not simultaneously practiced, I have been an Apostolic Church were the did, the person received the baptism of the Holy Ghost at the same time they were baptized in water. Ever other Church I have been in practiced either no Holy ghost baptism at all or being born again and water baptism as one event and Baptism in the Holy Ghost as separate events. Biblically speaking I would probably have to agree with you they should be practiced at the same time, but my experience was that they occurred at separate times. Do you speak in tongs, prophesy, or have the gifts of healing, discernment or miracles? I am curious or do you believe these have passed away as some do today. I operate in the gifts and have the Spirits fruits. They have not passed away. Perhaps it is error that many who believe in the baptism of the Holy Ghost practice it separately, my concern is those who believe they have ALL there is of God and do not operate in the Gifts. Love, Tim Hines |

Hi Tim, Thank you for your response. We will have to simply agree to disagree on this, my friend. There is , as I see it, no further "Holy Ghost baptism" other than that referred to in 1 Cor. 12:13. I believe the text to be quite clear. You ask "Do you speak in tongs, prophesy, or have the gifts of healing, discernment or miracles?" Trusting that you're asking a question with which you are agreeable as to my response- NO! I'd ask rhetorically, do you have the gift of love? Because, as 1 Cor.12:31- 13:13 elucidates, LOVE is the pinnacle! Without love, none of the gifts matter! "But earnestly desire the greater gifts. And I show you a still more excellent way." (12:31) " But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love." (13:13) 1 Cor.12:29 -30 are quite clear, especially with the grammar that not all have these gifts of tongues,healings, or prophesy! As 1 Cor. 13:8 states : "Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away." Grammatically, tongues will cease in and of themselves. I too operate within the "fruits of the Spirit" ( Gal. 5:22-23). Lastly, I do believe it error to be seeking something over and above that which scripture clearly contadicts. Speaking The Truth In Love, BradK |

My heart pours out to those who do not believe in the Baptism of the Holy Ghost, tongs, , the gifts, miracles, and God actually speaking to us through the Spirit. MY PRAYER FOR YOU IS THAT YOU FIND THE WONDERFUL LIBERTY WE HAVE IN CHRIST JESUS AND THAT HE GIVE UNTO YOU THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM AND REVELATION TO COMPREHEND THE HEIGHT, DEPTH AND WITH OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD! Eph 1:17 My prayer also is that everyone reading this will pray for me to further be revealed the truth from the Spirit of God. I still Love you BradK, Tim Hines |

Tim, You need not loose any sleep or pour your heart out over any perceived "loss" on my part. I assure you of that:-) I'm complete in Him according to Col. 2:10. I most certainly understand the liberty I have in Christ!( Gal.5:1,13) That liberty also allows me the spirit of Rom. 14:1. "Now accept the one who is weak in faith, but not for the purpose of passing judgment on his opinions." My brother, if you are truly seeking truth revealed from the Spirit of God, may you find it. The Study Bible Forum is a tremendous source of biblical knowledge and experience. Speaking The Truth In Love, BradK |

BradK, The letter killeth and the Spirit giveth life, If I intrepret you note properly you precieve me as one weak in faith, 1Cor 4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, I have not put you down I have tried to edify you with my understanding. If I did not meet with such fierce opposition I would believe the cross of Christ had lost its offence. I won't loose any sleep, for I have the peace of God. I will pray for you and I hope you do the same for me. In the future if we talk again I would appreciate leaving out the put downs and intimidation ploys, it has the appearance is anything but a Godly attribute! Love, Tim |

Tim, I believe you have misunderstood my intent, brother. Please don't hear what I'm not saying. Have you not read my posts or responses? Neither have I put you down. (Eph.4:15) Perhaps the King James version should have been used in quoting Rom. 14:1. What I meant to emphasize was the "disputable matters". As you obviously took it wrong the fault is on my part. Please forgive me. In my humble estimation, the "fierce opposition" you speak of is none other than public discourse on the Forum! As there are a variety of views within Orthodox Christianity espoused here, you and me are likely to encounter some challenges to our statements. Don't take it as an affront to you personally, but rather realize that there is room for disagreement. If one attempts to be dogmatic in their support for a view Orthodox or not, they will likely be challenged. Hence, Rom. 14:1. Tim, my reason for responding to you in the manner in which I did, was that you presumed far too much and that your presumptions were and are incorrect. Please feel free to check out my user profile, as it may help you to better know me. Rest assured that "put downs" and "intimidation ploys" are hardly representative of my posts! You might try reading some to get a better feel before you offer up conjecture-that my friend is not becoming nor a Godly attribute. I take seriously, both how I response and with what I respond. Posting is a priviledge that comes with responsiblity. As such, 2 Tim 2:15 carries a great deal of weight in my walk. Speaking The Truth In Love, BradK |
