Bible Question:
Is the Holy Spirit given to you once you receive Jesus into your heart? |
Bible Answer: Acts 2:38 Peter said to them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Matt 3:7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for baptism, he said to them, You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee and escape from the wrath and indignation [of God against disobedience] that is coming? Matt 3:8 Bring forth fruit that is consistent with repentance [let your lives prove your change of heart]; There must first be demonstrated repentance then water baptism snf you SHALL then received the gift of the Holy Spirit. Notice what John the Baptist said to those coming for baptism without showing evidence of reprentence first. |
