Y ou might have heard the terminology “He got two life sentence” Then people ask. How many lives do we expect him to live? A life sentence is a judicial terminology. Which mean a period of time serve or to serve, and not necessarily the duration of ones entire life span. A life sentence is any where from fifteen to twenty five years.

If a person has no knowledge of Judicial terminology they will miss out on the main point. So we can assumed that a life sentence and twenty five years is one and the same thing.

What does it mean to be filled with the Holy Spirit? “Filled with the spirit” “ Spirit Be in you” Spirit be upon you”” Walk in the spirit” “Live in the spirit”” The Spirit fall upon them” “You are the temple of the Spirit” “You are the body of Christ”” Baptize in the spirit” All these are Idioms and does not literally mean what it says.

SATAN IS CAPITALIZING ON THE MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT AND IS PUTTING HIS SPIRIT IN PEOPLE WHILE FAKING TO BE THE HOLY SPIRIT.

A group of young people from a certain church turns up at my place of business one day. They told me that a certain brother got filled with the Holy Ghost last night, the brother jump through the window and ran away when he got filled. I could not help but ask. “A who frighten him, and when will he write back to us”?

Many Christians believe and teaches that the Holy Spirit came and literally take up residence in each believers at conversion or sometime after conversion. This concept open up the new believer to Satanic deceptions and demonic possession. You might say a “true Christians cannot be poses with a evil spirit, demons and the holy spirit cannot live in the same temple”. I would ask why not? Both God, Satan, demons and us live in the same universe. In fact in God we all live, move and have our being said the scripture.

Many people fails to understand the Bible. Because the Bible came from the Land of Israel. You have to do a study into the manners and customs of such people, to even begin to understand the Bible. The problem is many English people like myself hardly know English which we speak, much more to know any thing about the language, the manners and custom of Israel. But if you really want to be able to interpret the Bible you will have to consider getting at lease the basic knowledge into the things that we have discussed so far.

When Satan spirit takes up residency in a believer’s body, and is posing to be the Holy Spirit. This leads the new believers off the path of faith, into legalisms, self-righteousness, and spiritual retardation. Even though the believers seem happy he she will always suffer from depression, sassy without any form of provocation. Above all no life healing revelations, all the revelations that he she receive only cause more and more contentions and suspicions. Christianity mean “Christ like” and you will not see any thing Christ like in such and such a person, but a few Jesus, Jesus comment as the conversation drags on. A self holiness will be very evidence in the person, without temperance.

Every thing that the person say he/she do not do, as you get to know then you will see that all the things they say they do not do they do.

Mat 23:4 "Instead of giving you God's Law as food and drink by which you can banquet on God, they package it in bundles of rules, loading you down like pack animals. They seem to take pleasure in watching you stagger under these loads, and wouldn't think of lifting a finger to help.

TO UNDERSTAND THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT UPON A BELIEVERS LIFE YOU MUST KNOW THE PURPOSE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.

God gave the holy spirit to the followers of Christ in request to Christ prayer. The Holy Spirit job is to comfort the believers in their tribulation. The holy spirit job is bring back the teaching of Christ to the believers memory. The holy spirit job is to give the believers a sound mind, to give the believers power to communicate the Gospel to lost souls. To implant love in the believers. To promote peace among believer and in all the churches. The questions is this do you see any of these qualities in people who claim to be fill with the Holy Spirit?

John 14:16-17 (NASB-U)"I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; [17] that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you.

WHERE IS THE POWER TO WITNESS?

Acts 1:8 (KJV) But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

WHERE IS THE SOUND MIND?

2 Tim. 1:7 (KJV) For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

WHERE IS THE LOVE?

Joh 13:35 This is how everyone will recognize that you are my disciples--when they see the love you have for each other."

Joh 13:35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

A POSES BELIEVERS HAVE NO LOVE IN THEM.

1Jo 4:20 If anyone boasts, "I love God," and goes right on hating his brother or sister, thinking nothing of it, he is a liar. If he won't love the person he can see, how can he love the God he can't see?

They have shake hand, tight hugging, and sometime kisses but as soon as your back turn they fill it with stabbing. Take a look and see what is in your back.

To prevent Satan from derail your faith, you will need to know who and what is the Holy Spirit. The reason for this, many church people will have you balking like a dog saying what they give you is Holy Spirit, and it is Holy Spirit making you behaving stupidly like that.

Before you and I can understand the doctrine of the Holy Spirit you must know something about man. You will need to know what part of man that God speak to, what part of man that the Holy Spirit fill. Is it man's body man's soul or man's spirit.

THE TRI-UNITY OF GOD.

1 John 5:7 (KJV) For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

Jesus in the water being baptize by John Baptist. The Holy Spirit came upon him in a bodily shape like a dove, and a voice from heaven spoke, saying this is my beloved son. Jesus was call the word. Not the written word, but the word bearer.

John 1:1 (NASB-U) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Matthew 3:16 (NASB-U) After being baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove and lighting on Him,

Matthew 3:17 (NASB-U) and behold, a voice out of the heavens said, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well-pleased."

John 20:17 (NASB-U) Jesus said to her, "Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, 'I ascend to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God.' "

THE TRI-UNITY OF MAN.

Every thing I said in this section is talking about man and the spirit of man. It is not talking about the Holy Spirit or demonic spirits.

1 Thes. 5:23 (NASB-U) Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Man was made in the image of God, and since God is a spirit, man is also a spiritual being just like his creator. Man is a spirit, and he has a soul and lives in a body.

MAN HAS A BODY.

Matthew 10:28 (NASB-U) "Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. The body is the house of both soul and spirit.

MAN HAS A SPIRIT.

Job 32:8 (KJV) But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.

When God talk to man, man hears the voice of God in their spirit, not in the physical ears. If God spoke to you, your mate sleeping beside you will not hear but you only, because God spoke directly to you by way of your human spirit. You might think it is your mind talking to you, or your conscience. This human spirit the Holy Spirit sanctified, and used. At conversion this spirit is being connected to the Holy spirit, it makes the person one with God. At conversion the person human spirit is joined to the Spirit of God like how a man and woman join in holy matrimony. The holy spirit do not penetrate your body and live in your body as some teaches. They are going by the term “ In you, and filled” But this in you is talking about the whole body of Christ here on earth.

GOD COMMUNICATE TO OUR SPIRIT BY WAY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.

Romans 8:16 (ASV) The Spirit himself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are children of God:

Galatians 4:6 (KJV) And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

1 John 3:24 (KJV) And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.

Romans 8:26 (KJV) Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

Acts 5:32 (KJV) And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.

2 Cor. 1:22 (KJV) Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

Ephes. 1:13 (KJV) In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

Man can turn their spirit against God, by ignoring the voice of God when he speaks to them. Job 15:13 (NASB-U) That you should turn your spirit against God And allow such words to go out of your mouth?

The spirit can leave the body and the body died.

James 2:26 (NASB-U) For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.

The soul feels pain just as the flesh.

Job 14:22 (KJV) But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn.

The soul can depart.

Genesis 35:18 (NASB-U) It came about as her soul was departing (for she died), that she named him Ben-oni; but his father called him Benjamin.

The human spirit indwell the soul and give life to the soul, the soul indwell the body and give life to it. We do not know at what point of conception God put this human spirit in man. I keep saying human spirit because I do not want readers confuse it with the Holy Spirit. This human spirit is almost a replica of the Holy Spirit. I will not say replica, because replica is a copy. When a person got converted, it is this human spirit and soul that the work of redemption takes place in and not directly in the body. The body is not redeemed, but since it is a part of this Earth will, be redeemed the time the Earth is redeem at the coming of our lord.

You might ask, how many Holy Spirit there are? There is one Holy Spirit. I will not elaborate on this because we have one book called fire on the mountain that deals with the Holy Spirit. But this is where many Christians went off course, because what is being portrayed in many churches as the Holy Spirit is just another one of Satan spirit posing to be the Holy Spirit. If a believer do not know the Holy Spirit and do not know when the Holy Spirit is operating upon a person life, he she is bound to be deceived by deceiving spirits.

At the time of conversion, our spirit, which was dead in trespasses and sin, was recreate by the Holy Spirit, and is now join with the Holy Spirit, connected by untenable cord, call the grace of God. Suddenly you speak of Jesus like a person you really know and not just somebody that you read about. The scriptures, which were once like something of a story book now became alive and are real to you.

FILL WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT IS A CONDITION.

To understand what filling with he Holy Spirit mean in our time you must realized that what happen in the book of Acts was promise by God to his people, that the Holy Spirit would be given to the church age. The Holy spirit is now here in the church and all who is converted to Christ is brought into the invisible body of Christ, and is a part of Christ. The Holy Spirit filled the body of Christ and all who is a part of this body is filled. It is you and I that must go into the Holy Spirit or baptize into the Holy Spirit and not him come into us.

People in democratic countries will always find it hard to understand any thing about God, because you cannot understand the things of God with a democratic mind-set. You must realized two basic truth. God is a King and he has a kingdom, his powers he delegate out to others, it is either you obey him or reject, or nothing about him will work for you. If you remove one thing from this series connection the rest might not work.

People will never under stand what it mean to be filled with the Holy Spirit as long as they are thinking about filling, as when a person fill up a bottle with water, or filling up mouth with food. It is not talking about that kind of filling. “ Filing here is terminology. Or an Idiom of scriptures. Filling with the Spirit is talking about be brought under the influence of the Holy Spirit. “Filled with the Spirit” mean that your human spirit is now co-working with the Holy Spirit. You are not just working by your own human spirit any more and are listening to your own human spirit , but your human spirit is now listening to and co-working with the things of God. Look at these two bible verses.

Proverbs 25:28 (KJV) He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.

Ezekiel 13:3 (KJV) Thus saith the Lord God; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing! The prophet is foolish when he fallow his own spirit. Your human spirit must be in subjection to the Holy Spirit.

1 Cor. 14:32 (KJV) And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.

The prophets must have control over his human spirit as you read in Prov 25:28

Led by the Spirit.

There is a difference of being led by the spirit of the word. And being led by the Holy Spirit. Led by the written word, or the spirit of the word, is talking about conducting your daily life according to the scriptures. Or in harmony with the scriptures. This is what it is talking about when it say walk in the spirit. We will talk about this some more.

Acts 17:28 (KJV) For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.

When your senses, which dwell in your soul, is now working in harmony with your recreated human spirit, which is now connected to the Holy Spirit. Before you were converted you know about God by your senses. However, the sense knowledge cannot find nor comprehend God, or the things of God. Like as we said before “Fill with the spirit” Mean to be brought under the control or influence of the Holy Spirit.

If there is a spirit living in your body other that your human spirit which you were born with you better get that spirit out.

WHAT DOES IN YOU MEAN?

Ezekiel 37:14 (KJV) And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the Lord have spoken it, and performed it, saith the Lord.

Here the prophet was talking to the whole nation of Israel and not to one person. “In You” mean that the Holy Spirit will be working in and through the nation of Israel.

John 14:17 (KJV) Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

Here again the phrase “In you” Is use. The lord was talking to his apostles and disciples, and not to one person only. In You mean the Holy Spirit will be working in and through the apostles group and not through the other groups of religious people at the time. Today the Holy Spirit is working in and through the body of Christ here on Earth the Church.

“In you” Do not mean that if somebody cut your foot, they would see the foot of the Holy Ghost in your foot. You cannot take every thing literally.

WALKING IN THE SPIRIT.

Galatians 5:16-18 (NASB-U) But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. [17] For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please. [18] But if the Spirit leads you, you are not under the Law.

The spirit here is not necessarily talking about the Holy Spirit. Walking in the spirit is talking about walking in the word. Our lord says his word are life and are spirit.

John 6:63 (NASB-U) "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.

Walking in the spirit is talking about walking in the written word. Or walking in the spirit, or concept of the word. Which mean to conduct our lives according to the word. Let our dealing be base upon the written word. That is all walking in the spirit is talking about I believe. Living in the spirit, mean to continual act that way. For example if a white person came and say I call them a white trash, I do not need to try to remember if I did say it, because I do not talk down on people nor call people names period.

Galatians 5:25 (KJV) If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

Galatians 5:26 (KJV) Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

WALKING IN THE FLESH.

Ezekiel 13:3 (KJV) Thus saith the Lord God; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!

Walking in the flesh can be summed up as when the human spirit is going by itself and is not walking in obedience to the holy spirit, or is not under the supervision of the holy spirit.

EVIDENCE OF A HOLY SPIRIT FILED LIFE.

Philip. 4:7 (KJV) And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. All genuine Christians are filled with a peace and joy that passeth all understanding. If a believer fall under depression, he or she salvations is come under question. Especially those who has reasons to be giving thanks. Even under massive persecutions Christians in communist prison was rejoicing.

Acts 16:25 (KJV) And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.

Depression, mean spirited, sassy spirit and unforgiving spirit is not the mark of believer who has received the genuinely baptism of the Holy Spirit. This person is being deceived, by one of Satan familiar spirit posing as the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit came to give power to God’s people.

Acts 1:8 (NASB-U) but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth."

Power for service, power to propagate the good news, boldness and courage to carry the gospel message to the end of the world.

THE HOLY SPIRIT CAME TO IMPLANT LOVE.

Romans 5:5 (NASB-U) and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

Col. 3:12 (KJV) Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

THE HOLY SPIRIT CAME TO SHOW US THINGS TO COME.

John 16:13 (NASB-U) "But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.

THE HOLY SPIRIT CAME TO COMFORT THE SAINTS.

John 14:26 (NASB-U) "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.

THE HOLY SPIRIT CAME TO HELP US LIVE THE LIFE.

Zech. 4:6 (NASB-U) Then he said to me, "This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel saying, 'Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,' says the Lord of hosts. Zech. 4:7 (NASB-U) 'What are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain; and he will bring forth the top stone with shouts of "Grace, grace to it!" ' "

Ephes. 2:8 (NASB-U) For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; Ephes. 2:9 (NASB-U) not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.

THE HOLY SPIRIT IS A SPIRIT OF LOVE.

Galatians 5:22 (KJV) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Galatians 5:23 (KJV) Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. Ephes. 5:9 (KJV) (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)

1 John 4:20 (NASB-U) If someone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen. 2 Thes. 3:10 (NASB-U) For even when we were with you, we used to give you this order: if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either.

What some people call love is hand out. They sit down and commit fornication all day and smoke and Christians relatives of the family must support them and they call it love.

THE HOLY SPIRIT DO NOT ENGINEERED WILD IMPULSIVE BEHAVIORS.

1 Cor. 14:40 (KJV) Let all things be done decently and in order.

Wild impulsive behaviors in the church are not of God, it is just self-displaying and self-lifting up. 1 Cor. 14:33 (KJV) For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

GETTING TO KNOW DECEIVING SPIRITS WHO FAKE THE HOLY SPIRIT.

There is the spirit of divination that fakes the Holy Spirit. Also there is the familiar spirit. Familiar spirit is a friendly demons, you would think, the way this person is nice he/ she is fill with the Holy Spirit, then when you saw how they back stabs and dig pits you faint at the wickedness. Acts 16:16 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying:

Leviticus 20:6 and the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people.

These two spirit take possession of many Church people, infect the church is a breeding ground for these two spirits. Some of them break fight right there in church. Behind all that, niceness there will be a hate undreamt. These also do not have any stomach for the written word of God. They prefer somebody gave them a word Many Church people do not know genuine Christians, and do not know the spirit of God. Nor know demonic spirit. You and I will never live a triumphant Christian’s life if we do not know deceiving spirits.

John 16:2 (Living) For you will be excommunicated from the synagogues, and indeed the time is coming when those who kill you will think they are doing God a service.

FOOLED BY EVIL SPIRITS.

Supposed conviction of sin by deceiving spirits. By Jesse Pen- Lewis, in the book title” War on the Saints” " I united with a number of brethren and sisters one whole week every month, in prayer to God to pour out more of His Spirit, gifts and power. After having done this for some time with great earnestness, such powerful and wonderful manifestations of God and His Holy Spirit (apparently) took place, that we no longer doubted God had heard our prayer, and His Spirit had descended into our midst, and on our gathering. Amongst other things this spirit, which we thought to be the Holy Spirit, used a fifteen-year-old girl as his instrument, though whom everyone belonging to our gathering, and having any sin or burden of conscience, had it revealed to the gathering.

Nobody could remain in the meeting with any burden of conscience without it being revealed to the meeting by this spirit. For example: a gentleman of esteem and respect from the neighborhood came to the meeting, and all his sins were exposed in the presence of the gathering by the fifteen-year-old girl. There upon he took me into an adjoining room, so broken down, and admitted to me, with tears, that he had committed all these sins, which the girl had exposed.

He confessed this and all other sin known to him. Then he came again into the meeting, but hardly had he entered when the same voice said to him" Ha! you have not confessed all yet, you have stolen ten gulden, that you have not confessed" in consequence, he took me again into the adjoining room and said" It is true, I have also done this" This man had never seen this fifteen-year-old girl in his life, neither she him.---We had to unmask this spirit which had brought about these things-which we took to be the Holy Ghost as a terrible power of darkness.-- As we came downstairs the voice of this power said, using the fifteen-year old girl as his instrument" What is this rebellion in your midst? You will be sorely punished for your unbelief" I told this voice that it was true we did not know with whom we had dealing.

But we wanted to be in that attitude, that if it was an angel of God, or the Spirit of God, we would not sin against Him, but if it was a devil we would not be deceived by him'' if you are the power of God, you will be in accord as we handle the Word of God.-- Then the power had to reveal itself of its own accord. Through the person which he had been using as his instrument he made such abominable and terrible grimaces, and shrieked in such a piercing tone'' Now I am found out, now I am found out"

HOW DEMONS ATTACK ADVANCE BELIEVERS.

In The book “War On The Saints, by Jessie Penn-Lewis. Page 149-150. 1-3 The agency of demons is always brought more conspicuously into notice, in proportion to the manifestation and power of God’s work among souls. When the son of God was manifest in the flesh, in called forth the activity and outspoken agency of demons more than ever before.

VARIOUS KINDS OF DEMONS.

Demons are of a multiplied variety. They are of various types, greater in diversity than human being, and these demons always seek to possess a person congenial to them in some characteristic. The bible tells us of unclean demons, with craft and fortune-telling demons, of insanity, of drunkenness, of gluttony, of idleness, of wonder or miracle working, of despotic demons, theological demons, screeching and yelling demons. There are demons that act more particularly on the body, or some organ or appetite of the body. There are others that act more directly upon the intellect, or the sensibilities, and emotions, and affections.

There are others of a higher order that act directly on man’s spiritual nature, upon the conscience, or the spiritual perceptions. These are the ones that act as angels of light, and sidetrack and delude many who are real Christians.

HOW DEMONS FASTEN ON HUMAN BEINGS.

They seek out those whose make-up and temperament is most congenial to themselves, and then seek to fasten themselves on some part of the body, or brain, or some appetites, Alternatively, some faculty of the mind, either the reason, or imagination, or perception; and when they get access, they bury themselves into the very structure of the person, to identify themselves with the personality of the one they possess.

WILD ABNORMAL IMPULSES BEHAVIORS.

“A very holy and useful woman says, that soon after receiving the baptism of the Spirit, there came to her one night in the church, a wild abnormal impulse to throw the hymn-book at the preacher, and run over the church screaming; and it took all her will power to keep her hand from throwing that book, but she had common sense to know that the Holy Spirit was not the author of such a suggestion. If she had yielded to those sudden feelings, it would have likely given that fanatical demon admission to her emotional nature and ruined her life work.

Another person said he felt like rolling on the floor, and groaning and pulling the chairs around, but he distinctly perceived that the impulse to do so had some things wild in it; and a touch of self-display contrary to the gentleness and sweetness of Jesus; and, as quick as he saw it was an attack of a false spirit, he was delivered. But another man had the same impulse, and fell down groaning and roaring, beating the floor with his hands and feet, and the demon entered into him as the angel of light, and got him to think that his conduct was of the Holy Ghost, and it became a regular habit in the meetings he attended, until he would ruin every religious meeting he was in.

THE TALKING IN OTHER TONGUES EXPERIENCE.

Even before we starting to talk about the doctrines of speaking in other languages. It is important for you to know that God do not do any thing without a logical reason. If you remember what happen in the book of Genesis.

Genesis 11:1-9 (KJV) And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. [2] And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.

[3] And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter. [4] And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. [5] And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. [6] And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. [7] Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. [8] So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.

[9] Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

Jesus told his disciples to go into all the world and preach the gospel to all the people.

Mark 16:15-18 (KJV) And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. [16] He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. [17] And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; [18] They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

How is this preaching going to come about, because all the people of the world speak different languages. Jesus disciples only speak one language.

Acts 2:7 (ASV) And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying, Behold, are not all these that speak Galilaeans?

GOD SAYS HOW HE IS GOING TO DO IT.

1 Cor. 14:21 (KJV) In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord.

Isaiah 28:11 (KJV) For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.

Joel 2:28 (KJV) And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:

THIS CAME THROUGH IN THE BOOK OF ACTS OF THE APOSTLES.

Acts 2:1-24 (GW) When Pentecost, the fiftieth day after Passover, came, all the believers were together in one place. [2] Suddenly, a sound like a violently blowing wind came from the sky and filled the whole house where they were staying. [3] Tongues that looked like fire appeared to them. The tongues arranged themselves so that one came to rest on each believer. [4] All the believers were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages as the Spirit gave them the ability to speak.

[5] Devout Jewish men from every nation were living in Jerusalem. [6] They gathered when they heard the wind. Each person was startled to recognize his own dialect when the disciples spoke. [7] Stunned and amazed, the people in the crowd said, "All of these men who are speaking are Galileans. [8] Why do we hear them speaking in our native dialects? [9] We're Parthians, Medes, and Elamites. We're people from Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, the province of Asia, [10] Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, and the country near Cyrene in Libya. We're Jewish people, converts to Judaism, and visitors from Rome, [11] Crete, and Arabia. We hear these men in our own languages as they tell about the miracles that God has done."

[12] All of these devout men were stunned and puzzled. They asked each other, "What can this mean?" [13] Others said jokingly, "They're drunk on sweet wine."

[14] Then Peter stood up with the eleven apostles. In a loud voice he said to them, "Men of Judea and everyone living in Jerusalem! You must understand this, so pay attention to what I say. [15] These men are not drunk as you suppose. It's only nine in the morning. [16] Rather, this is what the prophet Joel spoke about:

[17] 'In the last days, God says, I will pour my Spirit on everyone. Your sons and daughters will speak what God has revealed. Your young men will see visions. Your old men will dream dreams. [18] In those days I will pour my Spirit on my servants, on both men and women. They will speak what God has revealed.

NOW THE HOLY SPIRIT IS GIVEN TO THE BODY OF CHRIST HERE ON EARTH.

Does the church still has the ability to speak in other languages? Yes. This was how Africa, India and some other far off dark country was open up to the gospel.

But before we talk about that. The king James version with its outdated spellings and outdate English from the year 1611 make it hard for young people to understand the Bible today. One of the best bible today, That I would recommend for new believers is a Bible call” The message bible. For those who reads the King James Version. Tongues mean language. Other tongues mean other language. Unknown tongues mean language that are not know, or language that are not written.

The people were speaking other languages. It is important to know that Peter speaks to all the people in his language, but all the people heard him in their languages. The gift of tongues, or other languages have two dimension. You can go into the person language, or the person can hear you in their own languages while you were still in your original language. “ The wonderful works of God”

One missionary went to China in the early days to preach the Gospel, she employs the service of a translator, and was speaking through the translator. But one morning the translator did not turn up. The people were their hundreds waiting to hear the gospel message. She could not wait any longer, so she begins to speak to the people in English, but she realized that the people were understanding her, so she continues. When the translator came in. He asked he” How you told me you did not spoke Chinese? You were speaking perfect Chinese all day” In her mind she was still in English, but the Holy Spirit let the people hear her in their own languages. Now this is the gift of other tongues, other languages.

WHAT ABOUT THE GIFT OF TONGUES?

Remember it is three dimension as I told you. Other language, unknown language, and language. Tongues, or language speak of your own original language in which you were born. “We heard them speak in tongues” They were glorified God in their own mother language. They were not saying” Shando- bando- la- bando, cow’s tail, and jackass doo-doo. Christians in our time mix up other tongues, tongues, and un know tongues all in one, and do not sees that they are different. The Church meaning for tongues is when the person is saying. Shando- bando- la- bando, cow’s tail, and jackass doo-doo. To understand this you have to came out of the 1611 old English.

UNKNOWN TONGUES= UNKNOWN LANGUAGE.

Unknown tongues could be classified as, Shando- bando- la- bando. Because nobody know what you are speaking, because you are not speaking to men but to God. And if you speak in a unknown language, you must interpret what you are saying to the people, or shut up, and speak in silent to yourself and to God. American Christians call this “prayer language” Because it is suppose to be spoken in secret between you and God.

1 Cor. 14:2 (KJV) For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.

1 Cor. 14:4 (KJV) He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.

1 Cor. 14:13 (KJV) Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.

1 Cor. 14:14 (KJV) For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.

1 Cor. 14:19 (KJV) Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.

1 Cor. 14:27 (KJV) If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret.

Many churches do not believe in the speaking of unknown tongues not even in private. Look at this now, the Holy Spirit will give you a unknown prayer language in his own time. Suffering will bring it out. Somebody do not have to lay hand on you to bring this on or out.

I was born in Jamaica and speak the local dialect call Patos. A corrupt English. I only speak it in my house to my wife and other Jamaican friends. I do not pray it. But when I am in trouble I find myself praying to God in this language. If I am praising God I also went back into this Language. This is the language of my soul.

DAKES NOTE. The Baptism in the Holy Spirit The Baptism in the Holy Spirit is one of the most misunderstood subjects of the Bible. The entire Christian world is divided on the subject of Spirit baptism, and for that reason every thinking person should search the Scriptures for themselves, being open to every biblical statement that throws any light upon the subject. I invite your unbiased attention to the following facts found in 1,200 Scriptures, which clearly state the whole truth about the baptism in the Holy Spirit:

I. The Fact of a Spirit Baptism The fact of a Spirit baptism in Scripture is very clear. John the Baptist said to his followers concerning Christ, "He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire" (Mt. 3:11; Mk. 1:8; Lk. 3:16; Jn. 1:31-34). Jesus said to His disciples just before Pentecost, "Ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence" (Acts 1:4-8). See also Mt. 20:20-23; Acts 2:33, 38-39; 8:11-22; 9:17; 10:44-48; 11:14-18; 15:7-11; 19:1-7; Gal. 3:14).

II. The Spirit Baptism is for All Believers 1. John the Baptist said that it was for all believers: "I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance; but he [Christ] shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire" (Mt. 3:11; Jn. 1:31-34).

2. Jesus promised the Holy Spirit to all men who were children of God: "How much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him" (Lk. 11:13). The Spirit that Jesus promised was not to be for the world (the unsaved), but only for men who were saved and were not of the world (Jn. 14:16-17; 17:14). Jesus promised that "If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink. He that believeth on me . . . out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water . . . this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified" (Jn. 7:37-39).

3. Peter promised at Pentecost that the same baptism would be given to all who would become Christians. He said, "Repent, and be baptized . . . and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call" (Acts 2:38-39). He promised further that the same baptism would be given to all men who want it in the latter days. He said of the experience at Pentecost that "This is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel And it [this same prophecy of the Spirit baptism upon all men] shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters, shall prophesy." When was this to be fulfilled? "In the last days" of this age when God will "shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath" (Acts 2:16-21). Thus, a fulfillment of Joel's prophecy of the Spirit baptism upon all men happened at Pentecost and it will happen again in the last days during the great tribulation. It has been promised to every generation between those two points of time even upon "as many as the Lord shall call." Peter further promised that the same Spirit they had received at Pentecost should descend upon "them that obey" God (Acts 5:32).

III. Various Terms Used of the Spirit Baptism

Being baptized in the Spirit is called a baptism (Mt. 20:20-23; Heb. 6:2), the promise of my Father and the enduement of power from on high (Lk. 24:49; Acts 1:4-8; 2:33; Gal. 3:14), the Spirit without measure (Jn. 3:34), rivers of living water flowing out of the innermost being (Jn. 7:37-39), the gift of the Holy Ghost (Acts 2:38-39; 5:32; 8:19-20; 10:44-48; 11:14-18; 15:7-11; Jn. 7:37-39; Lk. 11:13), the full anointing of the Holy Ghost and power (Acts 10:38; Isa. 11:2; 42:1-7; 61:1-2; Lk. 4:16-21; 1 Jn. 2:27), and the fulness of God in the life of a believer (Eph. 3:19; Rom. 15:29; Jn. 1:16; 7:37-39; Eph. 5:18).

IV. Jesus Was the First to Receive the Spirit Baptism Jesus was baptized in the Spirit after coming up out of the river Jordan (Mt. 3:16; Mk. 1:10; Lk. 3:21-22; Jn. 1:31-34). That this was a "baptism" is clear from the fact He said to the sons of Zebedee, "Are ye able to be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with . . . Ye shall . . . be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with" (Mt. 20:20-23).

V. Jesus' Baptism Was a Fulfillment of Prophecy Such a baptism in all the fulness of God was predicted for the coming Messiah (Isa. 11:2; 42:1-7; 61:1-2). That they were fulfilled in Jesus is clear from quotations of these passages in Mt. 11:2-6; 12:17-21; Lk. 4:16-21; Acts 10:38.

VI. The Spirit Baptism Not Given Before Pentecost Men in general were not baptized in the Spirit until the day of Pentecost and until Jesus was glorified. This is clearly stated in Jn. 7:37-39: "He that believeth on me, as the Scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not glorified)."

Jesus said to the disciples ten days before Pentecost, "Ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence" (Acts 1:45). Peter on Pentecost confirmed the fact that on this day the Spirit baptism was given for the first time because Jesus had been glorified. He said, "Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear" (Acts 2:33).

Thus it is clear, that if "The Holy Ghost was not yet given, because that Jesus was not glorified" the baptism in the Holy Ghost was never given to men in Old Testament days. If this be true, then no experience of any man before Pentecost can he taken as the baptism in the Spirit.

VII. Spiritual Experiences of Old Testament Saints Although men were not baptized in the Spirit before Pentecost, they did receive the Holy Spirit in their lives in various ways and in permanent form in all ages up to Pentecost. This is clear from the following facts in both the Old and the New Testament:

1. Old Testament Saints Received the Holy Spirit The Spirit was "in" believers in the Old Testament days (Gen. 41:38; Num. 27:18; Dan. 4:8-9, 18; 5:11-14; 6:3). He was "within" them (Ps. 51:10-11; Isa. 63:10-14; Ezek. 11:19). The Spirit entered "into" many before Pentecost (Ezek. 2:2; 3:24; Acts 3:21). He came "upon" (Num. 11:17-29; 24:2; Judg. 3:10; 6:34; 11:29; 14:6, 19; 15:14) and "moved" many in Old Testament days (Judg. 13:25; Acts 3:21; 2 Pet. 1:21).

2. Old Testament Saints were "Filled" with the Spirit The Spirit "filled" many in Old Testament days (Ex. 28:3; 31:3; 35:31; Dt. 34:9; Mic. 3:8). Zachariah, Elizabeth, Simeon, and Anna were all "filled" with the Spirit about thirty-five years before Pentecost (Lk. 1:41, 67; 2:25-38). John the Baptist was "filled" with the Spirit from birth and never was baptized in the Spirit (Lk. 1:15-17), "For the Holy Ghost was not yet given [in baptismal measure], because Jesus was not glorified" (Jn. 7:37-39; Acts 2:33). Mary was "filled" with the Holy Spirit about thirty-five years before Pentecost (Lk. 1:46-56), but she was not baptized in the Spirit until Pentecost (Acts 1:12 - 2:4). Jesus was "filled" with the Spirit from birth (Isa. 50:4-5; Lk. 2:40, 52), but He was not baptized in the Spirit until thirty years later after being baptized in water (Mt. 3:16-17; 20:20-23; Jn. 3:34; Lk. 4:16-21; Acts 10:38).

The disciples were "filled" with the Spirit and had the Spirit "in" them in a measure several years before Pentecost (Mt. 10:1-8, 16-20; 16:17; Mk. 6:7-13; Lk. 10:1-20), but they were not baptized in the Spirit until Pentecost (Acts 1:4-8; 2:1-4, 33).

3. Old Testament Saints had "The Fruit of the Spirit" The fruit of the Spirit of Gal. 5:21-22 was fully in the lives of many Old Testament saints. They had love (Ps. 18:1); joy (Neh. 8:10); peace (Ps. 37:11); longsuffering (Jas. 5:10-11); gentleness (2 Sam. 22:36); goodness (Ps. 23:6); faith (Heb. 11); meekness (Num. 12:3); and temperance (Ps. 119:101).

4. Old Testament Saints had "Gifts of the Spirit" They had all the nine gifts of the Spirit mentioned in 1 Cor. 12:1-11, except the gifts of divers kinds of tongues and the interpretation of tongues. They did speak as the Spirit give them utterance, but it was their own language that was spoken. We read that God "spake" by the mouths of the prophets since the world began (Lk. 1:70; Acts 3:19-21; 2 Tim. 3:15-17; Heb. 1:1-2; 2 Pet. 1:21).

This gift or exercise of the Spirit is much the same as speaking through men in other languages, for there can be no difference in the spiritual operation of speaking by men in one language or many, or in their own tongue or other tongues. They also had the exercise of the gift of interpretation of dreams and visions (Gen. 41; Dan. 1:17; 2:19-30, 36; 4:19-27; 5:17-29). The gift of interpretation is much the same whether dreams or tongues are interpreted. The operation is the same.

Other gifts are recorded in the lives of many before Pentecost who never did receive the Spirit baptism, so it is possible to have gifts, the fruit of the Spirit, and fillings in various measures and not be baptized in the Spirit. The following gifts of the Spirit were manifest in Old Testament days: the gifts of the word of wisdom and the word of knowledge (1 Ki. 3:12; 4:29-34; Ex. 14:3; Num. 24:16; Dan. 1:17); faith (Heb. 11); the gifts of healing (Gen. 20:7, 17; 2 Ki. 5:14; Ps. 105:37; 107:20); the working of miracles (Ex. 4-12; 17:6; 1 Ki. 17; 2 Ki. 13); prophecy (Acts 3:21; Heb. 1:1-2; 2 Pet. 1:21); and discerning of Spirits (2 Ki. 5:25-27; 6:12; 2 Sam. 14:20). Of course some of these gifts were also manifest in the lives of the disciples before they were baptized in the Spirit at Pentecost, as we shall see in point 7 below.

5. Old Testament Saints had Different Measures of the Spirit It is a matter of record that in Old Testament days many people had different measures of the Spirit and did miracles according to the degree of their power and anointing, and yet they were not baptized in the Spirit. It is thus clear that men today can also receive different degrees or measures of anointing by the Spirit and not receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit. Certain gifts and anointings today are almost universally taken as proof that certain people have the New Testament Spirit baptism. If men have any marked ability to win souls, teach, preach, discern, heal, do miracles or exercise knowledge, wisdom or faith in any degree, it is claimed by them and others that they must have the baptism in the Spirit. This may not be the case at all, as we shall see. Any ordinary and limited ability along any of these lines proves that such people have only a measure and not the fulness of the Spirit.

In Num. 11:16-25 we read that much of the one portion of the Spirit that was upon Moses and enabled him to do the work of seventy-one men, was taken from him and divided among seventy other men. This made one measure of the Spirit to become seventy-one measures. Elisha received a "double portion" of the Spirit that was upon Elijah. The record shows that he did twice as many miracles which were twice as great (2 Ki. 2:9). Elijah did fifteen miracles which are recorded and Elisha did thirty. Elijah shut the heavens three and one-half years and Elisha seven (1 Ki. 17:1 - 2 Ki. 13:21; Jas. 5:17). John the Baptist had the same spirit and power that Elijah had, not the "double portion" that was upon Elisha (Lk. 1:15-17), not the portion Moses had (Num. 11), and not the Spirit "without measure" that Christ had (Jn. 3:34).

The disciples had a great measure of the Spirit and power of Christ before Pentecost. In fact, they received in a moment of time, power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease . . . to heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, and raise the dead (Mt. 10:1-8, 16-20; Mk. 6:7-13; Lk. 10:1-20). They had this much power before Pentecost without the Spirit baptism, when they had only the Spirit by measure, and it is certain they had more than this after they received the fulness of the Spirit on Pentecost (Lk. 24:49; Jn. 7:37-39; 14:12; Acts 1:4-8; 2:1-39; etc.).

Jesus had the Spirit by measure for thirty years (Lk 2:40, 52), but He received the Spirit "without measure" when baptized in the Spirit (Jn. 3:34; Isa. 11:2; 42:1-7; 61:1; Lk. 4:16-21). Jesus promised every believer the same fulness of the Spirit that He, Himself had (Jn. 7:37-39; 14:12-15).

John speaks of men receiving "of his Spirit" and "of his fulness" (Jn. 1:16; 1 Jn. 4:13). Paul also speaks of "the supply of the Spirit" (Phil. 1:19); "the earnest of the Spirit (2 Cor. 1:22; 5:5); "the fulness of God" (Eph. 3:19); and "the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ" (Rom. 15:18-19, 29).

6. Redemptive Blessings of Old Testament Saints Old Testament saints had every redemptive blessing and spiritual experience that Church saints can have, with the exception of the Spirit baptism, or the fulness of God. The basis of such blessings was by grace and faith in the coming Redeemer and the atonement that was to be made by the Messiah when He would come. They looked forward to the cross and by faith attained the full blessings of Christ, just as we look back to the cross and get the same blessings by faith through grace. Christ died on the cross to atone for the sins of all men, both before and after the cross (Rom. 3:24-25; Heb. 9:15).

Old Testament saints had: salvation (Ps. 51:12; 91:1-12); forgiveness (Ps. 25:18; 32:5); cleansing (Ps. 51:2; Isa. 1:18); covering (Ps. 32:1; Rom. 4:7); purging (Isa. 6:7; Ps. 79:9); washing (Ps. 51:2; Isa. 1:16-18); and taking away of both sin and sins (Isa. 6:7; Ps. 103:12); redemption (Job 19:25; Ps. 31:5; Heb. 9:15); bodily healing (Ex. 15:26; Ps. 91; 103:3; names written in heaven (Ex. 32:32-33; Ps. 69:25-28; Lk. 10:20); grace (Gen. 6:8; Ps. 84:11); conversion (Ps. 19:7; 51:13); imputation of righteousness (Ps. 32:1-2; Rom. 4); reconciliation with God (Lev. 8:15; Isa. 1:16-18); heirship (Rom. 4:13-14; Gal. 3:8-14); answers to prayer (Gen. 20:7, 17; Ps. 72:20); new birth (Dt. 32:18; Ps. 82:6; Gal. 4:28-30); the gospel (Gal. 3:6-14; Heb. 4:2); spiritual revelations (Acts. 3: 21; Heb. 1:1-2); hope of resurrection (Dan. 12:2; Heb. 11:40); justification by faith (Isa. 45:25; Rom. 4; Gal. 3:6-14); holiness (Lev. 11:44-45; Acts 3:21; 2 Pet. 1:2l); clean hearts (Ps. 51:7-10; 73:1; Isa. 1:16-18); pure hearts (Ps. 18:26; 24:4; Pr. 15:26; 21:8); contrite and broken hearts (Ps. 34:18; Isa. 57:15; 66:2); atonement (Lev. 17:11; Rom. 3:24; Heb. 9:15); sanctification (Ex. 29:42-44; 31:33; Lev. 20:8-23; 22:9-16; Ezek. 20:12); and many other blessings which many today take as proof of a New Testament Spirit baptism.

7. Spiritual Blessings of the Disciples Before Pentecost The disciples had many spiritual blessings before they received the Spirit baptism at Pentecost, so we today cannot claim this baptism upon receiving any of those blessings. These blessings are no more the baptism today than they were before Pentecost.

The disciples were saved, born again, and converted (Mt. 16:16 with 1 Jn. 5:1); were endued with a great measure of power (Mt. 10:1-8) were filled with the Spirit (Mt. 10:1, 20); were not of the world (Jn. 14:17; 15:19; 17:16); were spiritually enlightened (Jn. 15:15; 17:6, 14); were sheep (Mt. 10:16); were of one accord and one mind (Acts 1:12 - 2:1); were commissioned to world evangelism (Mt. 28:18-20; Mk. 16:15-20; Acts 1:4-8); were successful in preaching and healing, (Mk. 6:7-13; Lk. 10); were branches in Christ (Jn. 15:1-7); were true to God (Jn. 6:66-71); were true witnesses of personal salvation (Mt. 16:16; Jn. 6:67-69); were given spiritual revelations (Mt. 11:25; 16:16-17; Jn. 15:15); were in possession of eternal life (Jn. 17:2-3;10:27-29); were true to the Word (Jn. 17:6); were baptizers of others (Jn. 3:22; 4:2); and were "clean" and therefore were sanctified (Jn. 13:10-11; 15:3; 17:6, 14, 16). 8. Common Ministry of the Spirit in All Ages

In all ages, both before and after Pentecost, the Holy Spirit has been the agent of God to bless men. Every child of God receives the Spirit in a measure at the new birth and if he does not have the Spirit he does not belong to God (Rom. 8:9-16; 1 Cor. 3:16; 12:13). It is by the Spirit that men are convicted (Jn. 16:7-11), born again (Jn. 3:1-8), call Jesus "Lord" (1 Cor. 12:3), and God "Father" (Rom. 8:15; Gal. 4:6). The Spirit baptizes all men into the body of Christ or into Christ

(1 Cor. 12:13; Gal. 3-.27-29), changes lives (2 Cor. 3:18), makes new creatures (2 Cor. 5:17), frees from sin (from. 8:1-13), keeps free from sin (Gal. 5:16-26; Rom. 6:3-23; 8:12-13), leads and guides into truth (Jn. 14:26; 15:26), reveals, teaches, and brings things to remembrance (Jn. 14:26; 15:26; 16:13-15), gives life, liberty, gifts, access to God and all graces (Eph. 2:18; 1 Cor. 12; 2 Cor. 3:6, 17; Eph. 2:18; Gal. 5:21-22), washes, sanctifies, and justifies (1 Cor. 6:11; 2 Thess. 2:13; 1 Pet. 1:2), and helps in all phases of life.

Men of all ages have had these benefits, more or less, but there is one thing that men could not have before Pentecost and before this age and that is the fulness of God or the Spirit baptism (Jn. 7:37; Acts 2:33).

VIII. What the Spirit Baptism is Not It is not any one of the many experiences of the Old Testament saints, or of the disciples before Pentecost, listed in point VII above. It, therefore, could not be a mere filling of the Spirit, one of the nine gifts of the Spirit, some fruit of the Spirit, the new birth, sanctification, justification, or some phase of salvation that many today claim is the Spirit baptism. For if men had all these blessings before Pentecost, then it is scripturally settled that they are not the Spirit baptism, which was not given until that time.

IX. The Words "Baptize" and "Baptism" Defined The Greek word for "baptize" is baptidzo, from bapto, meaning "to dip, plunge, immerse, or cover wholly with the element used in baptism." It has the same meaning as the word "dip" in Lk. 16:24; Jn. 13:26; Rev. 19:13. Only two times is baptidzo translated "wash" and in these cases it means to be wholly wet and not merely sprinkled (Mk. 7:4; Lk. 11:38).

The words "dip" and "immerse" mean "to bury, douse, duck, immerge, plunge, sink, and submerge." Since the Greek word baptidzo, translated "baptize" 60 times, means "to dip or immerse" it is clear that baptism is by burial into the element used in baptism. In fact, baptism is spoken of as a burial in Rom. 6:4 and Col. 2:12.

X. There are Seven Baptisms in Scripture Paul taught the "doctrine of baptisms" (Heb. 6:2). There are five different elements people have been baptized or immersed into. The seven baptisms and the five different elements used in baptism are as follows:

1. The baptism "unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea" (1 Cor. 10:2). This refers to the crossing of the Red Sea when Israel was hid from Pharaoh in the sea on both sides and the cloud in front and back and all over them to protect them from the Egyptians. They were completely covered by the clouds and went through the sea. This was a true baptism in the cloud and in the sea. Cloud and water are the elements used in this baptism.

2. John's baptism in water (Mt. 3; Lk. 3; Acts 1:5; 19:3-4). This was immersion in water (Mt. 3:16; Mk. 1:10).

3. Christ's baptism in water (Jn. 3:22-23; 4:1-2). These last two baptisms were not continued, because they were in the name of the Father only and not in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, as Jesus authorized in Mt. 28:18-20. Both John and Jesus did work in the name of the Father only (Jn. 17:31-34; 5:43; 10:25; 17:1-6). Paul rebaptized the disciples of John thus proving that baptism in the Father's name only was not recognized after Christ died (Acts 19:1-7).

4. Baptism of suffering (Lk. 12:50). This was a baptism that Christ was yet to be baptized with after He spoke of it in this passage. It refers to His sufferings and the element He was to be baptized into speaks of the overwhelming agonies that He was to go through in taking the sins and sicknesses of the race (Isa. 52:14; 53:1-12; Mt. 8:17; Lk. 22:44; 1 Pet. 2:24).

5. Baptism "into Christ" and into His body, the church (Rom. 6:4; 1 Cor. 12:13; Gal. 3:27; Eph. 4:5; Col. 2:12). These Scriptures have been taken to refer to water baptism but not one of them mentions water as the element the believer is baptized into. If they referred to water baptism it would read "buried with him by baptism into water" but they plainly say "baptism into Christ," "baptized into one body," and "baptized into Christ." In Col. 2:12, Paul says men are saved by being "buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with Him through faith of the operation of God" and not through water administered by man. Whatever baptism this passage refers to, it is one by "the operation of God" and not through the operation of man. It, therefore, could not possibly refer to water baptism by man.

If these Scriptures speak of being "baptized into Christ" and "into one body" the body of Christ, which is the church, then the element the believer is baptized into is not water but Christ and His body. If we take these passages to refer to water baptism we make Christ and His church mere water. Is Christ water? Is His body water? If not, then Christ and His body are the elements believers are baptized into and not water. We must not insert a meaning into any Scripture that is not there, to teach something contrary to what is plainly written. Water baptism does not bring one into Christ or into His body. Man has nothing to do in this operation. It is solely an operation of God by the Holy Spirit. On the other hand, water baptism is not by God, Christ, or the Holy Spirit, but solely by man.

6. Christian water baptism (Mt. 28:19; Mk. 16:15; Acts 2:38, 41; 8:12-16, 36-38; 9:18; l0:44-48; 16:15, 33; 18:8; 19:1-5; 22:16; 1 Cor. 1:13-17; 1 Pet. 3:21). These 15 passages are all the Scriptures teaching water baptism. The element used is water and the administrator is man. Candidates are supposed to be already saved and disciples of Christ (Mt. 28:19). Water baptism testifies outwardly of an inward work and is merely a "figure" (l Pet. 3:21) and a "witness" of the change previously made in the life of a candidate through faith in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ (1 Jn. 5:6-10).

Water baptism does not remit sins. This is a work of God and a gift through faith (Eph. 2:8-9; Rom. 10:9-10; Acts 15:8-9). It is faith in the blood of Christ that remits sins, not water administered by man (Rom. 3:24-25; Eph. 1:7; Rev. 1:5; 1 Jn. 1:7; 1 Pet. 1:18-23).

Men have been and will yet be saved before and without water baptism. All Old Testament saints before John the Baptist were saved before and without water baptism. Many were saved from sin during the ministry of Christ before and without water baptism (Mt. 9:1-8; Lk. 7:36-50; 18:9-14; 19:1-9; 23:43; Jn. 4:49-53). Since the day of Pentecost many were saved from sin and some even baptized in the Holy Spirit before and without water baptism (Acts 9:17-18; 10:44-48; 11:14-18; 15:7-11). These last three passages state that Cornelius and his house were not saved until Peter preached to them. Then while hearing the Word the Holy Ghost fell on them as at Pentecost and only then was the question of water baptism brought up. Even Christ was baptized in water as a witness and a testimony of His own death, burial, and resurrection. He had no sins to remit by water. He is our example so if water did not remit His sins it does not remit ours (1 Pet. 2:21).

The "water" of the new birth of Jn. 3:5 does not refer to literal water, but to spiritual water of the Word, as proven in Jn. 16:3; 17:17; Eph. 5:26; 1 Pet. 1:18-23; Rom. 1:16; Jas. 1:18. These passages state that the new birth is by the Spirit and the Word of God. Water is used in a spiritual sense in Jn. 4:14; 7:37-39, etc. Since it is used in a spiritual sense and since Jesus was speaking to Nicodemus of a spiritual birth and of "heavenly things" it is very clear that the water of Jn. 3:5 could not refer to literal water.

7. Baptism in the Holy Spirit

(Mt. 3:11-16; 20:20-23; Lk. 24:49; Jn. 1:31-34; 3:34; 7:37-39; 14:12-17; Acts 1:4-8; 2:1-4, 33, 38-39; 5:32; 8:14-22; 9:17; 10:38, 44-48; 11:14-18; 19:1-7; Rom. 15:29; Gal. 3:1-3, 14; Eph. 3:19; 2 Tim. 1:7; Heb. 6:2; Isa. 11:2; 28:9-11; 42:1-7; 61:1; Joel 2:28-29; Hab. 1:5).

XI. Three Baptisms for Believers There are three baptisms for believers in Christ. They are the last three of the seven mentioned above. The first four are not for Christians today for they have been done away with, for reasons we have stated above. Note the following facts concerning the three baptisms:

1. The Agents, Elements, and Candidates The three agents who administer the three baptisms are: the Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ, and the minister. The three elements are: Christ, the Holy Spirit, and water. The candidates in all three baptisms are: the believers of the gospel.

The Holy Spirit is the agent that baptizes the believer "into Christ" and "into one body," the church, which is the body of Christ: "For by one Spirit [the agent] are we all [believers] baptized into one body [the element], whether we be Jews or Gentiles" (1 Cor. 12:13). This is called being baptized "into Christ," not into water or into the Holy Spirit, and refers to the saving of the soul by the Spirit and the Word of God and of making one a member of Christ and His Body, the church (Rom. 6:4; Gal. 3:27; Col. 2:12). This is the "one baptism" of Eph. 4:5 for it is the only one of the three baptisms for believers that saves the soul and brings us into the one body of Christ that Paul is speaking of in Eph. 4. This baptism "into Christ" by the Spirit is the only one absolutely essential to the salvation of the soul. A person must obtain this baptism before he is a fit candidate for the other two baptisms, the baptism into the Spirit and the baptism into water. This baptism is solely a work of God by the Spirit and by the water of the Word of God, and not of man. It is the same as the new birth of

Jn. 3:5. Christ is the agent that baptizes the believer into the Holy Spirit. John the Baptist said, "He [Christ, the agent] shall baptize you [believers] with the Holy Ghost" (the element, Mt. 3:11; Jn. 1:31-34). Ministers are the agents who baptize believers into water (Mt. 28:19). This kind of baptism is solely a work of man, and not of God.

2. Scriptural Order of the Three Baptisms The Holy Spirit baptism can take place both before and after water baptism, but always after baptism into Christ and His body, the church. It is only for saved men (Lk. 11:13; Jn. 7:37-39; 14:17; Acts 2:38-39; 5:32) It can be received whether one is baptized in water or not, as proven in the cases of Paul and the Gentiles (Acts 9:17-18; 10:44-48; 11:14-18; 15:7-11). Others received this baptism after baptism in water (Mt. 3:16; Acts. 1:4-8; 2:1-4; 8:12-25; 19:1-7). It is, therefore, proper to baptize one in water before or after he is baptized in the Spirit, but never before he is baptized into Christ and is a member of the body of Christ by the new birth.

3. The Purpose of the Three Baptisms

The purpose of the baptism into Christ and into the body of Christ is to save the soul. It is the only baptism essential to salvation. The purpose of baptism into water is to witness to the reality of salvation and is essential only to obedience and to testimony after one is truly saved.

The sole purpose of the Spirit baptism is to endue men fully with power to do the works of Christ, and even greater works than He did (Jn. 14:12; Lk. 24:49; Acts 1:4-8); to carry on the work that Jesus began "both to do and to teach" (Acts 1:1-2, 4-8; Mt. 28:20); to confirm the Word of God among men (Mk. 16:15-20; Heb. 2:3-4); to give men the Spirit of God without measure and in all fulness (Jn. 7:37-39; 14:12; Rom. 15:29; Eph. 3:19); to anoint men fully to preach the gospel to the poor, to heal the broken-hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and the recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord (Isa. 61:1-2; Lk. 4:16-21); to cast out devils, to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people, and to take God's salvation to the ends of the Earth (Mt. 10:7-8; 11:2-6; 12:17-21; Mk. 16:15-20; Jn. 14:12; Acts 1:8); and the blessings enjoyed by men in Old Testament times who had the Holy Spirit only by measure (2 Cor. 3:6-11; Heb. 8:6; Jn. 14:12; Rom. 15:29; 1 Cor. 1:7; 2:4-5; 4:18-21; 2 Cor. 10:3-11; Eph. 3:19; 6:10-18; 1 Thess. 1:5; Heb. 2:3-4; Mk. 16:15-20; Acts 1:4-8).

XII. What the Baptism of the Spirit Really Is

It is the immersion or burial of the believer in the Spirit at which time he receives the Spirit in his life "without measure" and not just "by measure" as men received before Pentecost. It is the full anointing of the Spirit that Christ received and demonstrated on Earth (Isa. 11:1-2; 42:1-7; 61:1-2; Mt. 11:4-6; 12:18; Lk. 4:16-21; Jn. 3:34; 14:12; Acts 10:38).

It is the Spirit coming in, upon, filling, overwhelming, infusing, anointing, and enduing with full and complete power to do the works of God among men, and not just a measure, as in Old Testament days. It is the Spirit taking full possession of the believer to live, speak, and work through him in the same degree that was manifested through Christ and the apostles. It is the fulness of what men had in part before Pentecost. It is more than a mere "filling." It is a baptism as well as a filling of the Spirit.

A "Filling" and a "Baptism" Illustrated

The difference between a "filling" and a "baptism" in the Spirit, or the Spirit "by measure" and "without measure" may be illustrated by a glass and a pitcher of water. To the extent water is poured into a glass it is filled. A person can fill a glass by pouring different measures into it at different times, or he can fill it at one pouring. He can keep pouring until the glass is full and running over and still it is not baptized. It is only full and running over. But if a person takes the glass and immerses or buries it in the fulness of water it is both filled and baptized. This explains how the disciples were all "filled" (Acts 2:4) as well as "baptized" in the Spirit at Pentecost (Acts 1:4-5). A filling always accompanies a baptism, but a baptism does not accompany a mere filling.

A person so "filled" and "baptized" must keep that way, for the minute he gets out of the "fulness" of the Holy Spirit and lives in self, or lives as he lived before, he is not baptized in the Spirit any more than the glass would be baptized in water if taken out of the water. Like the glass, it is possible to get un-baptized and still retain a "measure" or be more or less "filled" with the Spirit as before being baptized in the fulness of God. Christ kept himself baptized in the Spirit by prayer and daily yielding to God for more virtue and power to bless all who came to Him (Mt. 14:23; Lk. 5:16; 6:12; 9:18). The disciples also lived in prayer and received new in fillings and anointings from time to time (Acts 4:21; 6:4). They gave themselves continually to the ministry of the Word and prayer (Acts 6:2-4).

The Biblical Doctrine of Interpenetration

The Bible does not teach that Satan, the Holy Spirit, Christ, or God ever comes into and dwells in any man in the sense of incarnation. This means that they always exist as separate persons outside of man and never enter bodily into him to dwell. They all have their own separate and personal bodies, souls, and spirits, and could no enter into anyone bodily. They all dwell in man in a different sense entirely. They dwell in man only in the sense of union with him to a common purpose in life. They are all spoken of in Scripture as dwelling in man, but the idea is that of union with, consecration to the same end, and becoming one in life, working together to accomplish a mutual purpose and plan.

Men are spoken of as being "in Christ" and Christ being in them (2 Cor. 5:17; Col. 1:27; Rom. 8:10). Both man and the Holy Spirit are spoken of as being in each other (Rom. 8:9). Both Christ and God are spoken of as being in each other (2 Cor. 5:17; Jn. 14:10-11, 20). Man is spoken of as being in both the Father and the Son (1 Jn. 2:24). Both sin and Satan are spoken of as being in man and as dwelling in each other (Rom. 7:7-25; Lk. 22:3; Jn. 13:27: 1 Jn. 4:4; Col. 3:7; Rom. 6:1; 8:9).

The word "inter-penetrate," or dwelling in each other, could not possibly mean getting on the inside of each other bodily. It means "to penetrate within or between;" "to permeate;" "to penetrate each other." It is a word used to describe the union of two persons so that they are considered as being in and dwelling in each other. Since the idea could not be that of bodies getting on the inside of each other, it must mean the union of spirits, natures, wills, ideals, purposes, plans, acts, thoughts, and desires. It means the blending of persons together who are consecrated to the same end in life (Eph. 3:17; 1 Cor. 6:17; Heb. 2:11).

It is the same idea as when a man and woman become "one flesh" when "joined together" (Gen. 2:24; Mt. 19:5); when thousands of people become "one people" (Gen. 11:6); when many bodies become "one body" (Rom. 12:5; 1 Cor. 10:17; 12:12-28); when many minds become "one mind" (Rom. 15:6; Phil. 2:2); when many spirits become "one spirit" (1 Cor. 6:17; Phil. 1:27); and when many men become "one man" (Eph. 2:14-15; 4:13).

No person loses his own personal body, soul, and spirit in order to become "one" with, or to be "in" others. Being "in" each other does not depend on bodily contact, neither is it made ineffective by distance. Two or more people can live in each other and the union may be complete regardless of bodily contact or distance from each other. Paul said of the Philippians, "I have you in my heart" (Phil. 1:7). and of the Corinthians, "ye are in our hearts to die and live with you" (2 Cor. 7:3). Are we to understand such to mean that all the Philippians and Corinthians were in Paul bodily? If we understand what dwelling in each other means in connection with man, let us understand the same truth when it speaks of Satan, the Holy Spirit, Christ, and God as being in man. Men control each other to the extent of oneness with each other, or consecration to the same end in life. So it is with man and God, or man and Satan who control men to the extent of union with them to the same end in life. Union with either God or Satan results in fulfilling the end to which both are consecrated.

Thus it becomes clear how the Holy Spirit dwells in man, and how one can have God in a measure or in all fulness. To the extent a man is consecrated to God and is one with Him, to that extent he is filled with the Spirit. To the extent one is filled with the Spirit he is in union with the Holy Spirit, and the Spirit dwells in him. Thus if one has only a measure of the Spirit he is not fully possessed by the Spirit, or baptized in all the fulness of God. When one is baptized in the Spirit the union and oneness of man and God are complete. The whole life of such a man is wholly surrendered and yielded to God and totally consecrated to do the whole will of God. He is fully sanctified (set apart unto God) and prepared unto every good work (2 Tim. 2:21). His bodily members, his soul passions, feelings, desires, and appetites, and his spirit faculties are members of righteousness and instruments of divinity to accomplish the works of Christ among men.

Bible Evidences of the Spirit Baptism In the Life of Christ

The evidences of the Spirit baptism are very clear from prophecy, promise, and history. First, we will sum up the entire body of evidence by recognizing them in full as they existed in the life of Christ, the first to be baptized in the fulness of God. Since Christ is our example in all things, we should not ignore the biblical evidences of the Spirit baptism in His life if we really want to understand them. We should accept His Spirit baptism and all its evidences as the true biblical pattern for all men who seek to be baptized in the Holy Spirit.

As human beings, it is natural to hide our failures and lack of power behind the fact that Christ was God manifest in the flesh. It is argued that He naturally had more power with God than any “normal” human being could ever have. We are prone to attribute all Christ's anointing and power to the fact that He was a member of the Divine Trinity. After all, it is argued, He had, as a natural attribute, all this power to begin with. Furthermore, many assume that He did not need to have the help of God or God’s anointing in His life to do the works that He did.

This is one of the greatest deceptions used by the Devil and his agents to rob Christians of the truths that will not only set them free, but will give them mastery over the devil and his demonic forces. The Bible teaches that, apart from the baptism of the Spirit, Christ was as helpless as any human being. It is this same Spirit baptism that all men can have through the gospel. Note the following facts that abundantly prove this:

1. Christ laid aside His God-form, including the natural and all-powerful attributes of God and all the glory He had with the Father before the world was created, and limited Himself by taking human-form and all its limitations during the days of His flesh (Phil. 2:5-11); He was made of a woman (Gal. 4:4), in the likeness of sinful flesh (Rom. 8:3), and became God's Son. His sonship always refers to humanity and never to deity (Lk. 1:32-35; Jn. 1:14; Mt. 1:18-25; Ps. 2:7, 12; Heb. 1:5-7; 5:5-10; 10:5-14). He was made lower than the angels and took on Him the full nature of man. "In all things it behooved him to be made like unto his brethren," to live like they should live, and be anointed with the Holy Spirit like they should be, so as to prove to all men that by the same means of grace and anointing of the Spirit they could live like Him and do His works (Heb. 2:9-18; 5:8-9; 1 Pet. 2:21).

2. Jesus was born with no more power, wisdom, knowledge, or divine power than any other newborn baby. He was virgin-born and grew in knowledge and wisdom and in every way as any other child (Isa. 7:14-16; 11:1; 50:4-11; 53:1-12; Ps. 119:97-104; Lk. 2:40, 52; Heb. 1:5-7; 2:9-18; 5:8-9).

3. He was still limited in knowledge when a grown man (Mk. 13:32). It was not until after His exaltation that He had His original glory restored to Him and received the Revelation to give to us (Jn. 17:5; Rev. 1:1). He received all power from God only after His resurrection (Mt. 28:18).

4. Jesus claimed no personal divine attributes or powers while in the days of his flesh. All He claimed was that He had the full anointing of the Spirit to do His miraculous works (Mt. 12:28; Lk. 4:16-21). This is all that the apostles claimed for Him (Jn. 3:34; Acts 10:38). The prophets predicted this would be the source of His power (Isa. 11:2; 42:1-7; 48:16; 61:1). History records that He received the Holy Spirit and exercised the gifts and graces of the Holy Spirit in all fulness (Mt. 3:16-17; 12:22-32; 20:22; Lk. 4:16-21; Jn. 3:34; Acts 10:38; Rev. 5:6).

5. Jesus did no miracle until His anointing with the Holy Spirit and power when he was thirty years old (Jn. 2:11; Lk. 4:16-21; Acts 10:38). God "gave" Him the Holy Spirit "without measure" and made Him responsible to do the will of God (Jn. 3:34-35). God committed all judgment to Him (Jn. 5:22), gave Him self-existent life (Jn. 5:26-27), and power over all flesh (Jn. 17:2). He did all His works in His Father's name or by the authority of God, and not by His own authority (Jn. 5:43; 10:25; 17:6-8, 26). He said that He was not as great as His Father (Jn. 10:29; 14:28; Compare 1 Cor. 11:3). He said that He was sent by God and did not come of Himself (Jn. 3:14-18, 34; 4:34; 5:17, 30, 36; 6:29, 38-40, 57; 7:16, 28; 8:16, 28-29, 42; 10:36; 12:44-45; 17:4, 8).

6. Jesus claimed that His works were not of Himself, but were of the Father (Jn. 5:17, 19; 10:32; 14:10); that He could do nothing of Himself (Jn. 5:19, 30); that He did nothing of Himself (Jn. 5:28), that His doctrine was not His own (Jn. 5:20; 7:16; 8:26, 28; 10:18; 14:31; 15:15); that He did not speak of Himself (Jn. 8:38, 40; 12:49; 14:1); that He sought God's glory and not His own (Jn. 8:50); that He was a servant of God and perfectly obedient to Him (Jn. 8:35); that His works were proof enough that God was with Him and was doing the works by the Spirit, and therefore they were not works of His own divine natural attributes and powers (Jn. 3:2; 5:31-36; 9:4; 10:25, 38; 11:42; 14:10; Compare Acts 10:38); and that He was simply using the same means of grace by prayer, faith, and yieldedness to the Spirit that all believers after Him must use if they wanted to do His works (Lk. 11:1-13; 24:49; Mk. 11:22-24; Acts 1:1-2, 4-8; 10:38; Jn. 14:12-15).

7. Not only did Jesus make the above claims concerning His own life, but He repeatedly taught His disciples that neither He nor they could do anything of themselves (Jn. 15:1-7; Mk. 9:23; 11:22-24; Lk. 24:49; Acts 1:4-8). Jesus made it clear to His disciples that He was sending them into the world to confirm the gospel and continue what He "began both to do and to teach" and that this was to be the New Testament program throughout this age (Jn. 17:18; Mk. 16:15-20; Mt. 28.19-20; Acts 1:1-2, 4-8).

This was the program with which His disciples were sent out when He first called them (Mt. 10:1-20; Lk. 10:1-20; Mk. 6:7-11). This is the kind of program the disciples carried out after Pentecost (Mk. 16:15-20; Heb. 2:3-4; Acts 2:43; 3:6; 5:15-16; 6:3-8; 8:1-22; 9:32-43; 10:44-48; 15:12; 16:14-20; 19:11-12; 20:9-10). This is the kind of ministry Jesus promised every believer, not only preachers, but also all laymen: "He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go to my Father" (Jn. 14:12-15). "These signs shall follow them that believe" (Mk. 16:15-20).

We conclude, therefore, that the true biblical evidence of the Spirit baptism is to do the works of Christ, as He promised, and as He demonstrated among men; that anything short of this would not be a demonstration of the fulness of God; and that a demonstration of only a measure of the power that He had proves one has only a measure of the Spirit, as Old Testament saints and the disciples had, before the giving of the fulness of God at Pentecost. This we will prove more fully in the next two points.
