Subject: how can i get the powers of the holy spi |
Bible Note: [and to answer one of your other questions... the baptism of the Holy Spirit happens at conversion..when a person is saved. Everyone who is saved has the Holy Spirit as the guarantee of their salvation, the seal of God, and because we have him in us, he will be our councelor and guide in our new life in Christ as well as our scriptural teacher (this is per scripture, not my opinion, but i agree with it because it is in scripture).] A very wrong interpretation of scripture, dear "youthful" one. Please compare John 20:22 (NASB) And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit. with, Acts 1:4-5 (NASB) And gathering them together, He commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for what the Father had promised, "Which," He said, "you heard of from Me; for John baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now." Remember who was He speaking to in Acts 1? Aren't these the same people He "breathed on" in John 20.22? Don't be embarassed over this. Most of the church never sees it either. |
