The Baptism of the Holy Spirit
May 1, 2022


Acts 1 4 And while staying with them he ordered them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, he said, “you heard from me; 5 for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”

6 So when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” 7 He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority. 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” 9 And when he had said these things, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight.

Acts 2:1, When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place.

How can you guarantee that you are saved and going to heaven?

2 Corinthians 5:5 He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.

Ephesians 1:13 In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.

The

of our and eternal is the Holy Spirit.

When we can’t understand God’s , we can still trust God’s .


2 And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind,

and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them.


The baptism of the Holy Spirit is non

.

1 Corinthians 12 12 For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ.13 For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and all were made to drink of one Spirit.


The

of the Holy Spirit is an act by God’s Holy Spirit, where places a believer in the of Christ.


Acts 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.

In order to live the life God wants for you, you must get your

from the inside of you.

If depended on the power of the to live, then how much more should we?

Some people don’t the of the Spirit because they aren’t in the of the Spirit.
