Part 5 - Regeneration and Baptism in the Holy Spirit
JESUS TOLD THE DISCIPLES TO STAY IN JERUSALEM UNTIL THEY HAD BEEN BAPTIZED IN THE HOLY SPIRIT
Acts 1:1-11
THE DISCIPLES WERE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT AT PENTECOST
OTHERS WERE RECEIVING THE HOLY SPIRIT TOO
THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS TO BE POURED OUT ON ALL PEOPLE
Acts 2:17-21
The out pouring of the Holy Spirit is the same as being filled with the Holy Spirit.
THE OUTPOURING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS INITIALLY ON THE JEWISH BELIEVERS (PENTECOST)
Acts 2:5 Acts 2:11 Rom 1:16 Rom 2:9 Rom 2:10
AND LATER THE SAMARITAN & GENTILE BELIEVERS (ACTS 8 & ACTS 10)
Acts 10:45-47 Romans 11:25 Romans 16:25-26 Ephesians 3:6 Colossians 1:27
PETER, JOHN AND PAUL WERE ANOINTED TO BAPTIZE PEOPLE WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT
But the laying on of hands is not essential for baptism in the Holy Spirit. See Acts 10:42-8 & Acts 11:14-18
JEWS WHO HAD ONLY THE BAPTISM OF JOHN HAD TO GET BAPTIZED IN THE NAME OF JESUS - JOHN'S BAPTISM WAS NOT ENOUGH
Acts 19:1-7
John the Baptist only preached to the Jews. Hence these disciples were Jews who had been baptized by John but had yet to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This passage shows that Jews do need to be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
