Well... who were his parents? One was God and the other was human. He is the God/man. [

Outstanding. I think that is topic-worthy. If you would? [

St. SteVen said: As I understand it, the Baptism with the Holy Spirit is a subsequent event that follows the indwelling. The Holy Spirit can be rather unpredictable in this regard. - At Pentecost it seemed to come automatically with water baptism. - In Samaria it didn't...

I have heard of that theory. It begs a question about what the gift of the interpretation of tongues is for? [

John the Baptist was the first to mention it. And Jesus repeated it in reference to the outpouring at Pentecost. Matthew 3:11 NIV “I baptize you with[a] water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you...

Speaking in tongues is evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit. (as I suspected) https://www.christianityboard.com/threads/why-hadnt-the-baptized-believers-in-samaria-received-the-holy-spirit.54803/ [

Yes. A few of my topics on the subject. I have given this much thought. [

Do you want to understand, or do you prefer to be pig-headed? [

One Baptism. - What is it? Discussion with a beloved forum member this morning raised the question of baptism. And to the question in my own mind: What is the ONE baptism? I know of at least two baptisms: Water Baptism and the Baptism with the Holy Spirit. Is the one baptism one of...

Did Jesus claim personal credit for his miracles? Does Jesus expect us to do miracles? Allowing the Father to work miracles through Him does not negate his deity. Philippians 2:5-7 NIV In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in very...

I could be wrong. Perhaps you have not received the Baptism with the Holy Spirit? Do you speak in tongues? Or manifest any of the other gifts of the Spirit? See 1 Corinthians 12:7-11 (pasted below) 1 Corinthians 12:7-11 NIV Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the...

The fullness of the Spirit is a subsequent experience for most, if they have it at all. Did the disciples have the indwelling Spirit? What happened at Pentecost? Acts 1:4-5 NIV On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for...

I don't believe that Jesus performed miracles in his divinity, but rather in his humanity, with God the Father working through Him. How could Jesus expect us to do miracles if He was performing them through His deity? Philippians 2:5-7 NIV In your relationships with one another, have the same...

St. SteVen said: . I stepped forward, and I was filled with the Holy Ghost That testimony was in reference to a subsequent experience of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit. The person that gave the testimony (Wick Stick) already had the indwelling Spirit. It seems that you got...

Agree. How will that work from a practical perspective? It's not a second chance if you never had a first chance. Nothing is left to chance anyway. The Genesis account doesn't support that claim, even though it is stated in the NT. [

From my perspective, you are describing the indwelling of the Spirit, not the Baptism with the Holy Spirit. As I understand it, the Baptism with the Holy Spirit is a subsequent event that follows the indwelling. Post #15 of the topic below gives testimony to the Baptism with the Holy Spirit...

--- PARODY --- Church with protestor picketing outside as people enter for worship. The picket sign reads: Down with Churchianity Church Member: What are you doing? Protestor: Protesting against the church. Church Member: How come? Protestor: The church isn't functioning according to...
