Baptism of the Holy Spirit
The most amazing experience and life empowering event we can
have on this planet as Christians is the baptism and infilling of the
Holy Spirit. It is the promise of the Father to us after Jesus was taken
up into heaven. It is quite often frowned upon and misunderstood
as a result of us not being able to put Him in the little box of our
mind, or even being able to explain the outflow of the Holy Spirit.
But with all that said we will now explore the Baptism in the Holy
Spirit and evidences thereof.
Matt 3:11 Jesus will baptise you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.
Jesus is the only One who baptizes us in the Holy Spirit
In the New Testament, the disciples first received Jesus as their
Savior, and then were baptized in the Spirit, that is, they were filled
with the Holy Spirit for the first time.
John 20:21 Again he said, Peace be with you. As the Father has
sent me, so I am sending you. Then he breathed on them and
said, receive the Holy Spirit.
Just before His ascension, Jesus said that His disciples would be
baptized in the Holy Spirit.
Acts1:4 Once when he was eating with them, he commanded
them, ―Do not leave Jerusalem until the Father sends you the gift
he promised, as I told you before. John baptized with water, but in
just a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.
John the Baptist told us that Jesus would baptize us in the Holy
Spirit.
