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.
To abound literally means to go over the bounds. Men of God cannot be halfway Christians. They cannot go just far enough and then quit. They must overflow. The abundance that comes from God comes in His way and in His time. Are you living the Christian life to its fullest? Is your zeal for the Lord real and consistent?
