Bible Question:
Dear Beloved in Christ. I went to ask these questions which worries me alot.They are:when does the Holy Spirit Baptized someone or a christain. 2.Speaking in tongues, is it a gift or constant evidence. 3.When someone does not speak in tongues does it mean that the person is not having the Holy Spirit. I my self I speak in tongues but the impression people are making that I do not understand.I think is a gift and Holy Spirit baptized someone at the time he/she accept Jesus as His/her personal saviour. |
Bible Answer: The Holy Spirit dwells within you if you have received Jesus as your saviour. The Holy Spirit is the one who draws you to Jesus. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is what happened after Jesus ascended to the father. The Holy Spirit came as a comforter for those left on earth after Jesus went back to the father. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is a gift that you receive from the Father by asking. You will know that you have received the Holy Spirit when you receive the gift of an unknown tongue. This can happen when you are converted or later on. Speaking in tongues is a sign that you have been baptized in the Holy Spirit. |
