NASB | Matthew 3:11 ¶ "As for me, I baptize you with water for repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, and I am not fit to remove His sandals; He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 3:11 ¶ "As for me, I baptize you with water because of [your] repentance [that is, because you are willing to change your inner self--your old way of thinking, regret your sin and live a changed life], but He (the Messiah) who is coming after me is mightier [more powerful, more noble] than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to remove [even as His slave]; He will baptize you [who truly repent] with the Holy Spirit and [you who remain unrepentant] with fire (judgment). [Luke 3:16] |
Bible Question (short): 'Spirit filled' Christian |
Question (full): Hi there, I spent years in the Pentecostal movement and our pastor taught that Baptism of the Holy Spirit to be (usually) synonymous with receiving the gift of tongues, hence 'Spirit filled' Christian. I currently am undecided as to whether Baptism of the Holy Spirit is this "second blessing" (which at the time I thought was the clear teaching of Scripture) or is it the same as regeneration. Or is Baptism in the Spirit even something else: something like the Wesleyan / Church of Nazarene "entire sanctification." Related verses:Act 11:16 And I remembered the word of the Lord, how that he said: John indeed baptized with water but you shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost. Rom 6:3 Know you not that all we who are baptized in Christ Jesus are baptized in his death? Rom 6:4 For we are buried together with him by baptism into death: that, as Christ is risen from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also may walk in newness of life. Gal 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized in Christ have put on Christ. I'm very interested in hearing all sides, and particularly like someone to refresh me as to why Pentecostals believe Baptism in the Holy Spirit is that which is usually evidenced by speaking in tongues / prophesying.
