Bible Note: Hello koscheiman, So the Samaritans never received the baptism of the Holy Spirit? And here I thought all believers were baptized with the Holy Spirit (1 Cor 12:13). I guess Paul was wrong. But enough of my sarcasm. If you read your Bible, you will see that the believers were able to do mighty works because they were filled with the Holy Spirit. The baptism did nothing outwardly--it was to unite them in one body. It was the infilling that gave power (Acts 2:4; 4:8, 31; 13:9-11). Steve |
