Bible Question:
Scripture ... John 20:22; Acts 2:4 4:8, 31, 9:17, 13:9, 13:52; Eph 5:18 ... Acts 2:4 ... does being "filled with the Holy Spirit" mean it was the first time they received the Holy Spirit? - John 20:22 shows they had received the Holy Spirit. - Acts 4:8, 31, 9:17, 13:9, 13:52; Eph 5:18 While Acts 13:52 says "continually filled" I believe the Greek tense indicates there is need for us to get filled with Him. Also read Luke 1:15, 41, 67 |
