Subject: What were, are, they filled with? |
Bible Note: Hi Asis, Thank you for taking the time to give me this information because I have been trying to find out what Pentecostal felt they were filled with. However, I need you to talk more with me because I don't know what you are filled or baptized with. You have said that the Baptism of the Holy Spirit results in the speaking in tongues. You have said that Jesus baptizes us with the evidence of speaking in another language. You have said that we give ourselves over to the Holy Spirit and Jesus baptizes us. 1) This shows me that you have a blend of the Holy Spirit and Jesus that is the Baptizer. What are you baptized with? With what does the Holy Spirit/Jesus baptize? What causes them to speak in tongues? 2) You said that we can quench that utterance from the Holy Spirit. 1 Thess 5:19,20 says, "Do not quench the Spirit; do not despise prophetic utterances." What is quenched then; the spiritual utterances (prophecies) or the Spirit? I would interpret it as "Do not quench the spirit; do not despise prophecies." I would say that we should be filled with holy spirit, being baptized with holy spirit. How far are we apart in how we see this? From the heart, Ray |
