Baptism In The Holy Spirit
The
Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity, and is identified as God (Acts
5:3-4).
The
Holy Spirit is clearly identified as a person.
The
Holy Spirit knows the things of God (1
Corinthians 2:10-11)
The
Holy Spirit has a mind and will (Romans 8:27, 1 Corinthians 12:11)
The
Holy Spirit teaches us and guides us (1 Cor. 2:13, John 16:13)

2
Peter 1:21 (examples: 2 Samuel 23: 2, Micah 3:8) The Holy Spirit inspired the
scripture writers:
The
Holy Spirit came upon (or indwelt) various people for specific purposes: Joseph
(Genesis 41:38), Joshua (Numbers 27:18), Othniel (Judges 3:10), Samson (Judges
13:25, 14:6 & 19, 15:14), Saul (1 Samuel 10:10, 11:6), David (1 Samuel
1613), the prophets (Ezekiel 2:2, Daniel 5:11).
(Ex.
31:3, 35:31). The Holy Spirit enabled people to perform particular tasks.
John
1; 33 I did not know Him, but He who sent me to baptize with water said to me,
"Upon whom you see the Spirit descending, and remaining on Him, this is He
who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.'
John
14; 16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He
may abide with you forever—17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot
receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He
dwells with you and will be in you.
John
14:26 “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name,
He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I
said to you.”
John
15:26 "But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father,
the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me.

Spirit."

3; 16 Mark 1; 9 It Luke 3; 21 came to pass in those days that Jesus came from

upon Him like a dove.
Acts
2: 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind,
and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 Then there appeared to
them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. 4 And they were
all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the
Spirit gave them utterance.
Acts
2; 15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour
of the day. 16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet
Joel:
1; 7 "And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will
pour out of My Spirit on all flesh;
Your
sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, your
old men shall dream dreams.
18
And on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those
days; And they shall prophesy.
Acts
2 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."

spoke in tongues and prophesied.
Romans
14:17 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of
righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit,
1
Corinthians 12:10 to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another
distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of
tongues, or languages; also in verse 28] and to still another the interpretation
of tongues.[ 12:10 Or languages; also in verse 28]
1
Corinthians 12:28 And in the church God has appointed first of all apostles,
second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, also those having
gifts of healing, those able to help others, those with gifts of administration,
and those speaking in different kinds of tongues.
1
Corinthians 12:30 Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues[ 12:30
Or other languages] ? Do all interpret?
1
Corinthians 13:1 If I speak in the tongues[ 13:1 Or languages] of men and of
angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
1
Corinthians 14:1 Follow the way of love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts,
especially the gift of prophecy.
1
Corinthians 14:5 I would like every one of you to speak in tongues,[ 14:5 Or
other languages; also in verses 6, 18, 22, 23 and 39] but I would rather have
you prophesy. He who prophesies is greater than one who speaks in tongues,[ 14:5
Or other languages; also in verses 6, 18, 22, 23 and 39] unless he interprets,
so that the church may be edified.
1
Corinthians 14:6 Now, brothers, if I come to you and speak in tongues, what good

1

and through the lips of foreigners I will speak to this people, but even then
they will not listen to me,"[ 14:21 Isaiah 28:11,12] says the Lord.
1
Corinthians 14:22 Tongues, then, are a sign, not for believers but for
unbelievers; prophecy, however, is for believers, not for unbelievers.
1
Corinthians 14:23 So if the whole church comes together and everyone speaks in
tongues, and some who do not understand[ 14:23 Or some inquirers] or some
unbelievers come in, will they not say that you are out of your mind?
1
Corinthians 14:39 Therefore, my brothers, be eager to prophesy, and do not
forbid speaking in tongues.
1
Thessalonians 1:5 because our gospel came to you not simply with words, but also
with power, with the Holy Spirit and with deep conviction. You know how we lived
among you for your sake.

the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us.

mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy
Spirit,
Hebrews
2:4 God also testified to it by signs, wonders and various miracles, and gifts
of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will.
Hebrews
9:8 The Holy Spirit was showing by
this that the way into the Most Holy Place had not yet been disclosed as long as
the first tabernacle was still standing.
1
Peter 1:12 It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but
you, when they spoke of the things that have now been told you by those who have
preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long
to look into these things.
1
Peter 2:5 you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house
to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through
Jesus Christ.
Jude
1:20 But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray
in the Holy Spirit.
Work
of the Holy Spirit
The
Holy Spirit was Involved in creation: Genesis 1:2, Psalm 104:30, Job 33:4
The
Holy Spirit inspired the scripture writers: 2 Peter 1:21 2 Samuel 23:2, Micah
3:8)
The
Holy Spirit came upon (or indwelt) various people for specific purposes: Joseph
(Genesis 41:38), Joshua (Numbers 27:18), Othniel (Judges 3:10), Samson (Judges
13:25, 14:6 & 19, 15:14), Saul (1 Samuel 10:10, 11:6), David (1 Samuel
1613), the prophets (Ezekiel 2:2, Daniel 5:11).
The
Holy Spirit enabled people to perform particular tasks. (Ex. 31:3, 35:31).
The
Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8).
The
Holy Spirit imparts God’s supernatural act of imparting eternal life (Titus
3:5).
The
Holy Spirit causes us to be Sanctified: (Sanctify" means to be set apart,
or declared holy), for God’s use and service. We are presently being saved
through the sanctifying work of the Spirit (2 Thessalonians 2:13, 1 Peter 1:2),
resulting in our moral and spiritual improvement as we become more Christ-like
The
Holy Spirit indwells every believer
(1 Cor. 3:16, 6:19, John 14:16-17, Acts
2:38, Romans 8:9-11),
The
Holy Spirit seals every believer (2 Cor. 1:22, Ephesians 1:13, 4:30). We have
been given the Holy Spirit as a seal of God’s pledge to us that we shall
inherit eternal life.
Speaking
in Tongues in The Congregation
1
Corinthians 12:10 Believers who have received the gift of ‘different kinds of
tongues’, which are used by God to speak to the church.
The Spirit of God speaks in tongues, which are then interpreted by
someone with the gift of interpretation of tongues so that the church can
understand and be built up and encouraged. The -office gift of tongues is a
different operation of tongues. The gift of tongues spoken to the church must be
interpreted and should edify the body of believers..
1
Corinthians 14:28 “If there is no interpreter, the speaker should keep quiet
in the church and speak to himself and God”
Our personal prayer language is when a believer speaks in tongues to
himself and God as described in this verse not needing an interpretation.
However there are many instances where you may ask God for the interpretation
and you will receive it to your own edification. Your prayer language is
different from the (church-office spiritual gift of tongues). Everyone who is
baptized in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of tongues may use there prayer
language at will, praying in the Spirit to God.
Holy
Spirit Baptism By Jesus.
Jn.15:26. The New Testament believers understood that
receiving the Holy Spirit is an experience which comes AFTER salvation.
John
20:19-22 On the evening of that
first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked
for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be
with you!" After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The
disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord. Again Jesus said, "Peace
be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you." And with that he
breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.”
Jesus
Taught that the world (sinners)
CAN NOT RECEIVE the Counselor, the Holy Spirit. The Spirit of Truth. The world
cannot accept him, because it neither sees him, nor knows him. Jn. 14:17. Jesus
was speaking of being BAPTISED in the Holy Spirit, NOT being born again.The
Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name (at Pentecost)
will teach you all things.
Acts 8 shows 'receiving the Holy Spirit', and being
'filled with', or 'baptized with the Holy Spirit' came after being born again.
The Samarian’s had accepted the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them.
When they arrived, they prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit,
because the Holy Spirit had not yet come upon any of them; they had simply been
baptized into the name of the lord Jesus Christ. Then peter and john placed
their hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit. Acts 8:5, 12,14-17 the
Samaritans were saved before Peter and John came. Peter defines salvation in 1
Pe. 1:23. For you were born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable,
through the living and enduring word of god.
Verse 12 of acts 8 states the Samaritans had believed and been Baptised
(in water). Verse 14 shows they'd received the Word of God.
Purpose
of the Holy Spirit Baptism.
(Acts
13:52). Being filled with the Spirit empowers us to do God’s work and
experience God’s joy
John
14:26 But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name,
will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.
John
15:26 "When the Counselor comes, whom I will send to you from the Father,
the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father, he will testify about me.
Acts
1:8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will
be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of
the earth."
Romans
8:26-27 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know
what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans
that words cannot express. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the
Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's
will.
1
Corinthians 12:10 Tongues are a special spiritual gift, given by God
1
Corinthians 14:2 For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to
God. Indeed, no one understands him; he utters mysteries with his spirit.
1
Corinthians 14:4 He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself…
1 Corinthians 14:5 Apostle Paul’s desire: ‘I
would like every one of you to speak in tongues’
1
Corinthians 14:14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is
unfruitful…
1
Corinthians 14:15 So what shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will
also pray with my mind; I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my
mind.
1
Corinthians 14:16 praising God with your spirit…
1
Corinthians 14:17 giving thanks…
1 Corinthians 14:19“ But in the church I would
rather speak five intelligible words to instruct others than ten thousand words
in a tongue.”
1
Corinthians 14:39 Do not forbid speaking in tongues…
Ephesians
6:18 “And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and
requests.”
Jude
1:20 “But you, dear friends, build
yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit.”
(Acts
13:52).Being filled with the
Spirit is an ongoing process, experienced repeatedly, not just once. In
Ephesians 5:18-21 we are told to "be filled with the Spirit" (the
Greek verb is a present continuous imperative which literally means "keep
on being filled").
Summary
Acts 1:8 and Lk. 24:49 Jesus Promised His disciples;
I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until
you have been clothed with power from on high. You will receive POWER when the
Holy Spirit comes on you, and you will be my witnesses ... To the ends of the
earth..
Joel 2:28-29
God had previously promised through the Prophet Joel, a future time when;
I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy
... Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those
days. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other
tongues as the Spirit enabled them.
Acts 2:4 the previously timid disciples were
transformed into fearless proclaims of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Joel 2:28-32, Immediately, the Holy Spirit through
Peter confirmed that this was the fulfillment of Joel's prophecy. This is what
was spoken by the Prophet Joel what you now see and hear. Acts 2:39. This is
what was spoken of ... Acts 2:16 For they heard them speaking in tongues and
praising God.
Prayer tongues are a beautiful language of prayer, praise and thanksgiving to God, spoken from the spirit to God. When a person prays in tongues, their spirit is praying directly to God, speaking mysteries of praise.
Praise and thanksgiving to God
confuse Satan, and tongues even more so.
