Same thing, synonymous terms.(see for example Acts 11:14-18) We never read of anyone being "born again" or "receiving the Spirit" but later getting baptised in the Spirit. The disciples received the promised Spirit at Pentecost, Jesus referred to this as the baptism in the Spirit. Jesus details...

Fire also burns up the unrighteousness in saints. "better to be hot now than later". The word "and" is kai in the greek which means "even". The fiery zeal of God replaces the old ways of those that allow him to live and work in them. We can say that people have or have not the Spirit - if you...
