Bible Study The ministry of Spirit Baptism

[billybalke]

Why would you assume the Baptism of the Holy Spirit isn't for all, whether through the laying on of hands or not?


The promise of the Spirit is for all.

Not just Cornelius and his family.


4 And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from Me; 5 for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.” Acts 1:4-5


33 Therefore being exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He poured out this which you now see and hear. Acts 2:33


The baptism of the Holy Spirit is the promise of the Father.

• and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He poured out this which you now see and hear.

The promise of the Holy Spirit is for all who repent and believe, not just those on the Day of Pentecost or Cornelius, but all.


38 Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”

• For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.

You still have not explained the difference between the baptism of the Holy Spirit and the laying on of the hands of Paul in Acts 19. Anyone reading Acts 2, 10 and 11 can see there is a difference.

Please note that Acts 2:33 which you quoted refers to the APOSTLES. One rule of Bible study is to always take note of who is speaking.
Thank you, Billy

Thank you for your reply Doug. I don't know what you received but the church still is the pillar of the truth. May I ask what church you belong to?
Be blessed, Billy

Yes the Church, not the denomination of the Church of Christ.

Hi JLB--I "assume" nothing. Can you find the laying on of apostles' hands in Acts 2,10 and 11??

I do not belong to any Church or denomination. I belong to Christ. Most of the Churches I went to were just like Laodicea. My calling is pastor / teacher (evangelist).
