Bible Question:
Some people believe that in order to recieve the Holy Spirit certain things must happen (i.e. laying on of hands, manifestations of the spirit). As I have been studying the book of Acts, it appears to me that God gave the Holy Spirit to different people in different ways. Acts chapter 10 is a great example of how the Holy Spirit comes to the first Gentiles without any human intervention. I am realizing that as humans, we want to make the Holy Spirit understandable and sometimes "put Him in a box" saying that things must happen this way or that way. I am searching for a better, more clear understanding of how the Holy Spirit comes to believers initially. Acts 2:38 says it is a gift for all who the Lord calls to himself. Acts 5:32 says that God gives the Holy Spirit to those who obey Him. Does anyone have any insight from the scriptures on this topic for me? Thanks! Shelley |
