Bible Question: Does one need to be baptised by the Holy Spirit? Is this Biblical and how should it be done? |
Bible Answer: To me it is extreamly biblical. If you read the book of Acts you can see very clearly that this is a biblical event that happened after people where converted or believed...... Jesus told the apostles to recieve the Holy Spirit and the HE breathed on them....He then proceeds to tell them to what or tarrey to recieve power from on high. The Samarians in the book of Acts believed and there weher wonderful miracles and great joy in the city...yet Phillip who is holding the revival in Samaria does not consider them filled or baptized in the Holy Ghost yet....even though they believed and had placed their fath in Christ.... Peter and John came down and prayed that they would get the Holy Ghost Baptism and they did...Now then this happens again in I think about chapter 8 or 9...Paul has ans encounter with some people in Ephesus they believe and had been taught about Jesus...yet they did not have anything but John's(the Baptist) baptism. Paul baptises them in the name of Jesus and the get the Baptism of the Holy Spirit...... To me this is a doctrinal truth that is well grounded in the word of God.... Read the book of Acts and you decide.... Upon recieving this free gift from God you will never believe any other way..I strongly encourage you to seek this out and see what you think... Just pray for God to baptize you in the Holy Spirit and He will and you will know it when He does |
