Bible Note: It seems to me that there are two places that indicate that Christians, in a second experience receive the Holy Spirit. First is in John 22:22 Jesus ...breathed on them, and said to them receive the Holy Spirit. In chapter 20 after the resurrection Jesus is revealing Himself to the diciples. It seems likely that they are Christians at that time and that they have, since Jesus breathed on them certainly received the Holy Spirit. After they become Christians they are them told to wait in Jerusalem where they receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. So the text indicates that the diciples received the Holy Spirit twice. The second place is Acts 19 1 to 6. Paul found some diciples. The word diciple in all other parts of the bible is used to refer to Christians. Secondly they had also been taught by Apollos, who Paul had good things to say about e.g."Apollos planted and I watered". I think the text shows that they are born again believers. Paul then asks if they have received the Holy Spirit. They answer that they have never even heard of the Holy Spirit. So, Paul then lays his hands on them "the Holy Spirit came on them and they began to speaking in tongues and prophesying." Here are two immediate examples that show that both Jesus and Paul place emphasis on true born again Christians receiving the Holy Spirit as an additional or second touch of God after salvation. |
