Subject: Spirit Baptism |
Bible Note: Hello prayon, My intent was to explain why the Holy Spirit was given out in measure and was accompanied by the apostle Peter. I thought that was what had been asked. As for Acts 11, water baptism is not required for salvation, therefore the Holy Spirit baptized them into the body of Christ. The outward manifestation was a result of being filled with the Holy Spirit. Just for clarification, I see baptism and filling of Holy Spirit as two completely separate works/operations that He does in the believer. Steve |
