Subject: Jesus name of the Father, Son and H/Ghos |
Bible Note: Hank, I was lead to be rebaptized by the Holy Ghost (not the indwelling) and no, I do not deny Matt 28:19,20. I just understand what Jesus said to his deciples. When I was filled with the Holy Ghost I speak in tongues (and no, I do not have the gift of tongues) I think my filling of the Holy Ghost came a month or so after my Baptism because I mistook the Presents of the Holy Ghost that was leading me for the promised or indwelling Spirit. When the Apostolic Church Leaders realized what I thought (That I already had the Holy Ghost)They ask me the question "Did you speak in Tongues when you received the Holy Ghost". I said "NO" then they told me that this was the "Sign give in the Bible". I did not believe them at that time, so I continued on till I began to realize that the presence and power that I had felt seem to began to fade. I got afraid and came to believe that they was right. You are right that the regeneration (for us it is the Baptism in Jesus name and Being filled with the Holy Ghost) should come together. This is what happen with my Wife. But there are circumstances that hinder this, read Acts 8:12-17. I hope this helps. |
