Hello gdh, Welcome to the forum. Actually, it's not at immersion or at the laying of hands of ministers that a believer receives the Holy Spirit. We receive the Spirit, and all of Him that there is to receive, at the very moment God saves us. None of Him before, and no more of Him at any time after. When God saves a person, He sends forth His Spirit into our hearts. Galatians 4:6 (NASB95) 4:6 Because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!" When God saves us we are sealed with His Spirit as a promise, guaranteeing our salvation. 2 Corinthians 1:20-22 (NASB95) 1:20 For as many as are the promises of God, in Him they are yes; therefore also through Him is our Amen to the glory of God through us. 21 Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and anointed us is God, 22 who also sealed us and gave us the Spirit in our hearts as a pledge. Ephesians 1:3-14 (NASB95) 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love 5 He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved. 7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace 8 which He lavished on us. In all wisdom and insight 9 He made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His kind intention which He purposed in Him 10 with a view to an administration suitable to the fullness of the times, that is, the summing up of all things in Christ, things in the heavens and things on the earth. In Him 11 also we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to His purpose who works all things after the counsel of His will, 12 to the end that we who were the first to hope in Christ would be to the praise of His glory. 13 In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God's own possession, to the praise of His glory. You requested that the responder show all pertinent verses; unfortunately, there are far too many and the amount of text that can be entered in any one post would not allow for it. Hope this is sufficient, Jeff |
