Subject: Baptism of the Holy Spirit after reborn? |
Bible Note: Thanks melchizedekau for your words of concern. Please take note of what I have said earlier in this forum: “I believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit as Jesus promised in Acts1. That promise bore witness as being true thru out Acts (2,8,10,11,19). I believe it is still true today and is verified by the initial evidence of speaking in tongues as the Holy Spirit gives utterance.” I think that states my position pretty well. I think we might be in the same book, but certainly not on the same page. I think it might help if we could read the previous posts, before we respond with any sort of judgmental comments. Notice I said read the post, not READ INTO the post. When I say “I think” I am stating “my opinion” which does not mean very much. Please don’t think I think you need to believe my opinion, unless the scripture references and the Holy Spirit tell you otherwise. Acts2 : Please re-read my previous post. Sorry if I seemed to be saying something I did not mean. Please believe me, I was only giving another POSSIBLE interpretation, that’s all, not my theology. I can’t even spell theologian, but now look at me, I are one! Just kidding Bro! Anyway, here is my last explanation (I hope) of what I said. Many people claim the tongues in Acts 2 were different from the other examples in scripture, because they were actually understood. ALL I am saying is what I have already said, there is also the POSSIBILITY there could have been a miracle of understanding going on also, because all DID NOT understand (vs13). In Jesus’s Love |
