Bible Note: Dear Haggisheid, Greetings from Japan in the name of Jesus! Thank you for a very good answer! I agree with all you posted here. You asked a a few posts later why I was asking this question, and I think you will find out if you browse through the 'above' thread entitled "Automatic Holy Spirit?" I have been searching for a clear, Biblical answer as to whether the Baptism of the Holy Spirit is a 'finished work' upon confessing Christ as Savior, or a 'progressive work' of sanctification. I lean toward the latter (as you seem to be leaning), but many have spoken as if it is synchonous and 'done,' or just not answered that part of the question. So... I posted a more direct question. Please read the other thread and tell me if we still might be on the same wavelength. (?) BTW, in what part of Scotland do you rest your heid? I have a good friend in Bo'ness, and have been to see Nessie. (but he was not about at the time :-)) I receive your blessings, and send mine to you and yours this bonnie season! In Christ Jesus, charis |
