    Who said it is ???

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    Right - I get it... You are teaching me in tongues right now... What is you native language as a matter of interest ?

    Israel

    So you think the Nation of Israel will not allow it to be built ???

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    They were all in worship when the fire of the Spirit fell including Peter. He did not speak in multiple languages, or need to, as the common Greek trade language was understood by all. The error of your teaching is that you have assumed that all the disciples gathered under the power of the...

    Israel

    Correct - but for the sake of clarity what paradigm are you referring to ?

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    Really - this is nonsense... Do you think Paul did all his preaching and teaching in tongues ???

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    Honestly I think you are quite wrong on this... We are all well aware of the verses - Firstly at pentecost when the Spirit Baptised them in Himself they were individually given the ability to praise and worship in another language which was recognised by different pilgrims as their native...

    What is the difference between the indwelling Spirit and the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    Right on the button... Like Jesus was indwelled by the Spirit at conception and empowered upon at baptism. In fact this was the way JB was to identify Messiah - the one upon the Spirit would come upon AND REMAIN UPON.

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    I don't see Acts 2:38 saying that... Certainly when the Spirit initially fell, believers gave utterance in many tongues as a sign to the Jews. But when Peter preached it would have been in the common language of the time, understood by all.

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    Was she referring to an external or internal presence ???

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    Yes there are fellowships that teach that tongues are Satanic like the Plymouth Brethren. But Bapist churches in the 50's when I came to faith were more 'innocently uninformed' and were enlightened when the revival of the 70's struck.

    Israel

    Modern Judaism as a religion is anti-Christ. Yet it seems many believers are drawn towards supporting the building of the third temple as if it will hasten the coming of Jesus. I am guessing that when it is built, believers will not only support it but there will be those who will convert to...

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    OK on the list, but a true believer, born again, may experience none of the 5 you list.

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    Can't say I agree with your interpretation of that verse... It refers to both the callings and the gifts.

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    According to Paul not all have the gift of tongues.

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    I had some fluency in tongues before being baptised in the Spirit. But does 'they' mean every individual ? It seems prophesy and tongues were heard among them, but this does not present evidence that every individual was fluent in tongues. Not all who are Baptised in the Spirit speak in tongues.

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    How do we know they all did ??? Maybe some spoke in tongues and others prophesied ?????

    Why I'm NOT a Christian. - Or so they say...

    Romans 1:27 and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error. 1 Thessalonians 2:3 For our exhortation does not come...
