Bible Question:
Dear bubblejaws: Will keeping God's commandments bring the baptism of the Holy Spirit?You write: "keeping god's commandments will bring the baptism of the holy spirit". Really? For starters, if you could keep the commandments without the baptism, then what do you need the Holy Spirit for? Consider Gal 3:1-2,5 NASB: "You foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified? This is the only thing I want to find out from you: did you receive the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith?...So then, does He who provides you with the Spirit and works miracles among you, do it by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith?" |
Bible Answer: 1 Cor 12:13 NASB "For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit." |
