Subject: Spirit Baptism |
Bible Note: Greetings Iktoose, Being baptized with the Spirit is like water baptism. You only need to be baptized once. After that the Spirit is active within you and you will experience the Holy Spirit working within you over and over. He can show Himself in many different ways. Sometimes I can be praising God in a room where it is extremely hot and I will start getting 'chill bumps' that start at the top of my head and go to the bottom of my feet over and over. Sometimes it will be by speaking in tongues. All of a sudden words will start coming out of my mouth and I have no idea of what I am saying or the meaning. Sometimes it is by feeling an overwhelming alarm that I shouldn't do something I am about to do like drive down a certain street. Sometimes I will get an urgent need to prayer for someone. When you are ask Christ to come into your life and you are 'saved' you receive the Holy Spirit. When you are baptized in the Spirit it is as if you give Him the permission or ability to totally take control of your life. I hope this makes sense. Feel free to ask me any questions. prayon |
