There is another Bible doctrine that some call Spirit baptism. But it is not Spirit baptism. The scriptures never call it a baptism at all. That is the filling of the Spirit.
Now let us consider what is most properly called Spirit baptism. The Bible does not talk as much about this one. However, it is a Bible doctrine. At the point of salvation the Holy Spirit places us into Jesus Christ. When a soul trusts in Christ and is saved, he or she is “in Christ.”
To understand the baptism with the Holy Ghost, you must understand that it was an event. Acts 1:6 teaches that the baptism with the Holy Ghost would occur “not many days hence.” We know that this baptism occurred in Acts chapter two on the Day of Pentecost. It was a special day. It was a unique day. It is not to be sought again and again.
Pastor Reagan teaches the doctrinal and practical importance of churches bringing forth other churches. This is followed by a response to a pastor seeking practical advice on how to get started.
What would our life be like if nothing existed beyond the world we see? What if all we had was under the sun? How would this change our life, our hopes, our dreams?
What are the things that are most important to you? Judge them by the vanity factor. Do they satisfy? Will they last? How does God view them?
We are so limited in our understanding by having the world in our hearts. Yet God is working all things together to the good of His own people and purposes.
