THE HOLY SPIRIT
Part 3: The Baptism of John |
|
|
Mankind likes to be in control but that is not
possible with the third person of the Godhead. Jesus put the Holy
Spirit in charge of the church. He controls us, not the other way
around. The majority of Christians today have stopped with the
baptism of John, meaning they are only baptized in water and never
receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit. John the Baptist preached
repentance and that people should turn from their sins and believe
in Jesus Christ. This is a shame because Jesus intended for
Christians to be sealed by the Holy Spirit and receive His baptism
as well. Hence Jesus' instructions to His followers about waiting
for the Holy Ghost so they could go out in power. If salvation is
equated with the baptism of the Holy Spirit, why did Peter and John
lay hands on the Christians in Samaria and pray for them to receive
the Holy Spirit baptism? The Bible clearly shows that salvation and
the baptism of the Holy Spirit are two distinct events. So why are
Christians following man-made doctrines which contradict the simple
and easy to understand words of Jesus? You have only to examine the
Bible and follow its instructions. |
