In this study we are going to look at the phrase (Holy Spirit Baptism) and the different roles the holy spirit plays. I will start with a question I had ask in a previous thread.
My question is if that is the baptism of the holy ghost then why did it differ from the Apostles or the house of Cornelius . In the one Where the spirit came upon the Apostles with signs to confirm the word there was no laying on of hands. When Philip who had hands laid on him to transfer that power went to the Samaritans he could not transfer or the spirit did not come upon them as it did the Apostles Philip had to call for Peter for him to transfer the power so that they could grow the church with the signs of confirming toe word so Philip and the Apostles could go to the outer regions of the world making new disciples.
I think we can see from study that the spirit plays two different role in scripture. One is the spirit upon as where it comes upon a subject with power to real a fact that the subject is speaking with authority from God with accompanying sign. The other being that it is the spirit within (the indwelling) in which he works totally different in this case. In the indwelling he produces fruit of the spirit not the power of signs for confirming
The phrase baptism in the spirit can be take in two ways the one most often used by people is that of the signs thinking it was meant for every believer individually but I don't think scripture supports that view.
The other view is that it is in reference to the indwelling that is promised to all born again christian. This one is where the spirit works in each individual christian to perform the fruit of the spirit. .
Hope to study this with others.
