AMPLIFIED 2015 | Acts 2:38 And Peter said to them, "Repent [change your old way of thinking, turn from your sinful ways, accept and follow Jesus as the Messiah] and be baptized, each of you, in the name of Jesus Christ because of the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. |
Bible Question: Was the baptism of the Holy Spirit only on the Apostles on this Pentecost? |
Bible Answer: There are only 2 recorded events in Scripture that relate to "Baptism of the Holy Spirit". The firs at Pentecost and the second when Peter preached to the first Gentiles (Cornelius and his family) in Caesarea. This is not the same as a) the gift of the Holy Spirit you receive at baptism (the seal spoken of in Ephesians 1) or b) gifts of the Holy Spirit given by the laying on of Apostles hands (see for example Acts 8). |
