Bible Question:
I can line up experts to show "receive" in John 20:22 means they received the Holy Spirit at that time. Would you like the list? In fact, the word receive is lambano (Strong's 2983) and could be translated take. If it was the future, it would have been translated "you will receive". I am not sure when the other 109 received the Holy Spirit ... but, it had to be before Penecost. They all would have been orphans between His acsencion and Penecost. |
Bible Answer: Then who is the Spirit to come in John 16:13? ("When the Spirit of Truth comes, he will guide you into the full truth. He won't speak on his own. He will speak what he hears and will tell you about things to come.") Why when Jesus was talking to the apostles did He say in a few days that you will be baptized if they were already baptized as you claim? (Act 1:5 John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit." Act 1:8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes to you.) If they already had the Holy Spirit then Jesus did not know what He was talking about when He told them they would be baptized in a few days. prayon |
