AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 12:13 For by one [Holy] Spirit we were all baptized into one body, [spiritually transformed--united together] whether Jews or Greeks (Gentiles), slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one [Holy] Spirit [since the same Holy Spirit fills each life]. [Rom 3:22; Gal 3:28] |
Bible Question: Who was baptized by the Holy Spirit other than the apostles? |
Bible Answer: Sarah, all believers are baptized (immersed) by Christ (Matt. 3:11) with the Holy Spirit. This is how the church, the spirtual body of Christ, is formed. This refers neither to water baptism nor an experience to seek (e.g., speaking in tongues). It is the reality of what happens at the time of regeneration or new birth in Christ. --Hank |
