! Introduction
The church exist as a result of the Holy Spirit, it was He who gave birth to the body of Christ on the day of Pentecost when He was poured out upon the disciples.
Without the Spirit of God in the church, it would be nothing more than a social club or a service organization.
But when the Spirit of God is given His proper place, the body of Christ becomes a dynamic force of change in a sick and dying world.
A.
The Work of Direction
1.
While on earth, Jesus directed the ministry of the Apostles.
a) After the Ascension
/1) //Jesus continued to direct the church, only now through the Holy Spirit./
/2) //Through the Holy Spirit, He continues to guide His people./
2.
The Lord’s Plan was to Evangelize the World (Matt.28:18-20).
a) The First Place was Jerusalem & then to Reach the World (Lk.24:47;
Acts 1:8).
/1) //The Power Available Would be the Power of the Holy Spirit (Lk.24:49;
Acts 1:8).
/
(a) Jesus Commanded the Disciples to Wait (Acts 1:4-5).
(b) The empowering by the Holy Spirit is what Jesus entitled the Baptism with the Holy Spirit.
/(1) /Jesus also referred to this as the promise of the Father which He already told them about (Lk 24:49 /cf./
Joel 2:28).
/(2) /Such Scriptures as Jn 7:37-39,14:15-17 reveal the fact the Holy Spirit would take over where Jesus left off.
John merely baptized people in water but there was coming a time when people would be immersed (baptized) with the Holy Spirit.
/2) //Six Lessons to be Learned from these Verses./
(a) We need to learn how to wait upon God’s timing.
He told the disciples to wait even though it was a good thing they were commissioned to do—They Obeyed His Command.
(b) We need the power of God to do the work of God.
(c) The power is available to every believer through the Holy Spirit.
(d) God want’s to empower weak & limited individuals to accomplish His work.
(e) Nobody is excluded from His work due to his or her own weakness; God wants to empower every believer to do His will.
B.
The Real Baptism of Fire – Luke 3:16
In the Church today there exist two major views concerning the doctrine of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit.
There are many that teach salvation and the baptism with the Holy Spirit are one in the same thing.
There are many on the other hand that teach these are separate experiences in the Christian's life.
I believe they are two separate experiences.
In order to prove this one needs to go directly to the Scriptures and discover the truth contained in them.
We will look at this doctrine in five areas which include:
(1) There is a Baptism with the Holy Spirit;
(2) Jesus is the Baptizer;
(3) The purpose;
(4) The four prepositions used in conjunction with the believer and the Holy Spirit;
(5) The distinction between salvation and the baptism with the Holy Spirit
1.
There is a Baptism with the Holy Spirit.
a) Read Matthew 3:11
/(1) /Who is speaking here?
/John the Baptist/
/(2) /What does he say about himself? /He baptizes with water unto repentance/
/(3) /What does he say about Christ? /He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit & fire/
/(4) /This same statement occurs in Mark 1:8, Luke 3:16, John 1:33-34.
b) Read Acts 1:4-8
/(1) /According to Acts 1:4-8, what were the disciples to wait for in Jerusalem specifically mentioned in verse 4? /The Promise of the Father—baptism of the Holy Spirit/
c) Read Acts 10:44-48
/(1) /What happened here?
/The Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the Word (v.44), the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the gentiles’ (v.45).
/
/(2) /In Acts 11:14-18, Peter is telling the story of what happened in Acts 10 and what does he call it in 11:16?
/The Baptism of the Holy Spirit.
/
2.
Jesus is the Baptizer with the Holy Spirit.
a) Note the Importance of Jesus Being the Baptizer!
/(1) /It is important to see that Jesus is the one who baptizes people with the Holy Spirit in order to prove it is a distinct experience apart from salvation.
/(2) /Each person of the Trinity has their role in the work of salvation and it is imperative that one sees the difference.
/(3) /The Father sent the Son, and the Son died on the cross and the Holy Spirit sealed the person.
Who does John 1:33-34, Mark 1:8, Luke 3:16 and Matthew 3:11 say will be the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit? /Jesus/
b) In Acts 2 the disciples were baptized with the Holy Spirit.
/(1) /In verses 32,33, who is the one pouring out the Holy Spirit? /Jesus/
/(2) /According to Luke 24:49, who will send forth the promise of the Holy Spirit? /Jesus/
3.
The Purpose of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit.
a) What the Scriptures Indicate the Purpose of the Holy Spirit Is.
/(1) /Many try to teach it is for the purpose of receiving gifts (especially tongues) but this is not Scriptural.
/(2) /The clearest and most concise verse in the Bible concerning the purpose of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit is found in Acts 1:8--What does it say its purpose is?
/(3) /The clear teaching of Scripture is that it is to “receive power to be a witness for Christ”.
b) Read Luke 24:44-49
/(1) /What is the purpose of the Holy Spirit coming mentioned especially in verse 49? /Power/
/(2) /What is it associated with in verse 48? (Just as in Acts 1:8).
/To be witnesses/
c) Read Acts 2:16-21
/(1) /What does Peter say in Acts 2:16-21 would be the result of those having the Spirit poured out upon?
/(2) /The baptism with the Holy Spirit is not an experience, which brings a person to completion, but is the point of entry into the supernatural realm.
When the Scriptures (Acts 1:8) speak of receiving power to be a witness it refers to being the type of witness illustrated in the entire book of Acts.
This would include love being the most important manifestation but also the power of God (gifts, miracles, salvation, casting out demons) being manifested in your life.
4.
The Four Prepositions used in conjunction with the Holy Spirit and the Believer.
a) These are /within/, /upon/, and /filling – /Read John 16:7-11
/(1) /What is the Holy Spirit trying to show people who have not accepted Christ?
/(2) /In John 14:16,17, what two prepositions are used here?
(/para// /“with”) &/ /(/en// /“in”)
/(3) /Before one is saved is the Holy Spirit with the person convicting them of their need for Christ?
(a) The disciples went from /para /to/ //en/ in John 20, when Jesus breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.”
(b) The same thing characterizes our own experience prior to conversion.
b) The next relationship centers around the preposition /“en”/.
/(1) /According to Romans 8:9, where does the Spirit dwell?
/“en” //in you/
/(2) /The moment you accepted Jesus as the Lord of your life, the Holy Spirit came into you and began to indwell you, you went from /para/ to/ //en./
/(3) /Not every believer, however, has the baptism with the Holy Spirit.
c) The next relationship relates to the word /upon/ – “epi”/.
/
/(1) /This is the same as the baptism with the Holy Spirit.
/(2) /Where does the Holy Spirit come in Acts 1:8 in relation to the person?
/Upon you/
/(3) /What about in Luke 24:49?
/”upon you”/
/(4) /Acts 19:1-7?
(esp.
v. 6) /“/ /upon them”/
