Taking or Receiving?

Part 2

In fact, Jesus said that the Holy Spirit would not come unless he went away.  John 16:7

 

The word for take/receive is a command.  (imperative tense)

The command has taken place : hence the aorist tense.

Jesus gave the command : hence the active tense.

The action in the command had not taken place (aorist imperative is timeless)

 

Receiving the Spirit is clearly the same as Baptism in the Spirit

 

Receiving the Spirit is the same as the Holy Spirit Coming Upon.  Acts 10:44-47

 

The Holy Spirit coming Upon is the Same as Baptism in the Spirit Acts.  11:15-17

 

Baptism in the Spirit is the same as Receiving the Spirit

 

There is only one type of receiving the Spirit.

and

The disciples only received the spirit once.

 

But they were filled many times

 

Jesus told the disciples to 'take' the Holy Spirit with them in John 20:22

 

I am sending you.   Take the Holy Spirit.  Whoever you forgive is forgiven.
