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] |
Subject: Baptism in the Holy Spirit? |
Bible Note: You write: "These people were believers before they were baptised." This is correct, as I certainly believe that belief must precede baptism. You write: "God is already working in the heart of this man as he studies Isaiah 53" I wouldn't disagree with this, but I don't think it indicates that personal sanctification has already occured. The power of God's word to convict and prick leads the person to seek God's salvation. The preaching of Jesus entails preaching about Baptism (Acts 8:35,36). I would say that the Eunuch was an unwashed believer. Belief leads to repentance and confession and baptism. Salvation comes after these things. True believers SHOULD NOT perish (John 3:16), but do as the Eunuch did and ask for baptism. Have a good day. |
