JESUS PRAYER FOR UNITY
John 17:11 I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name—the name you gave me—so that they may be one as we are one. (RVR) Y ya no estoy en el mundo; mas éstos están en el mundo, y yo voy a ti. Padre santo, a los que me has dado, guárdalos en tu nombre, para que sean uno, así como nosotros. (VP) “Yo no voy a seguir en el mundo, pero ellos sí van a seguir en el mundo, mientras que yo me voy para estar contigo. Padre santo, cuídalos con el poder de tu nombre, el nombre que me has dado, para que estén completamente unidos, como tú y yo.
John 17:21-23 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: 23 I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. (RVR) para que todos sean uno; como tú, oh Padre, en mí, y yo en ti, que también ellos sean uno en nosotros; para que el mundo crea que tú me enviaste. 22 La gloria que me diste, yo les he dado, para que sean uno, así como nosotros somos uno. 23 Yo en ellos, y tú en mí, para que sean perfectos en unidad, para que el mundo conozca que tú me enviaste, y que los has amado a ellos como también a mí me has amado. (VP) Te pido que todos ellos estén unidos; que como tú, Padre, estás en mí y yo en ti, también ellos estén en nosotros, para que el mundo crea que tú me enviaste. 22 Les he dado la misma gloria que tú me diste, para que sean una sola cosa, así como tú y yo somos una sola cosa: 23 yo en ellos y tú en mí, para que lleguen a ser perfectamente uno, y que así el mundo pueda darse cuenta de que tú me enviaste, y que los amas como me amas a mí.

THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT …………GOD’S ACT TO UNITE THE CHURCH
Act 1:5 For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit (RVR) Porque Juan ciertamente bautizó con agua, mas vosotros seréis bautizados con el Espíritu Santo dentro de no muchos días. (VP) Es cierto que Juan bautizó con agua, pero dentro de pocos días ustedes serán bautizados con el Espíritu Santo.
Acts 2 = Pentecost….the Church is born!
Ac 8:15 When they arrived [at Samaria], they prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit, 16 because the Holy Spirit had not yet come upon any of them; they had simply been baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus. 17 Then Peter and John placed their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. (RVR) los cuales, habiendo venido, oraron por ellos para que recibiesen el Espíritu Santo; 16 porque aún no había descendido sobre ninguno de ellos, sino que solamente habían sido bautizados en el nombre de Jesús. 17 Entonces les imponían las manos, y recibían el Espíritu Santo. (VP) Al llegar, oraron por los creyentes de Samaria, para que recibieran el Espíritu Santo. 16 Porque todavía no había venido el Espíritu Santo sobre ninguno de ellos; solamente se habían bautizado en el nombre del Señor Jesús. 17 Entonces Pedro y Juan les impusieron las manos, y así recibieron el Espíritu Santo.
Ac 10:47 "Can anyone keep these people from being baptized with water? They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have." [aor.ind.active – lambano] (RVR) Entonces respondió Pedro: ¿Puede acaso alguno impedir el agua, para que no sean bautizados estos que han recibido el Espíritu Santo también como nosotros? (VP) Entonces Pedro dijo: —¿Acaso puede impedirse que sean bautizadas estas personas, que han recibido el Espíritu Santo igual que nosotros?
Act 11:16 Then I remembered what the Lord had said: 'John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit. (RVR) Entonces me acordé de lo dicho por el Señor, cuando dijo: Juan ciertamente bautizó en agua, mas vosotros seréis bautizados con el Espíritu Santo. (VP) Entonces me acordé de lo que había dicho el Señor: ‘Es cierto que Juan bautizó con agua, pero ustedes serán bautizados con el Espíritu Santo.’
1 Cor 12:13 For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body--whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free--and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. [aor.passive.ind] (RVR) Porque por un solo Espíritu fuimos todos bautizados en un cuerpo, sean judíos o griegos, sean esclavos o libres; y a todos se nos dio a beber de un mismo Espíritu. (VP) Y de la misma manera, todos nosotros, judíos o no judíos, esclavos o libres, fuimos bautizados para formar un solo cuerpo por medio de un solo Espíritu; y a todos se nos dio a beber de ese mismo Espíritu.

Ac 19:2 and asked them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" They answered, "No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit." (RVR) les dijo: ¿Recibisteis el Espíritu Santo cuando creísteis? Y ellos le dijeron: Ni siquiera hemos oído si hay Espíritu Santo. (VP) Les preguntó: —¿Recibieron ustedes el Espíritu Santo cuando se hicieron creyentes? Ellos le contestaron: —Ni siquiera habíamos oído hablar del Espíritu Santo.
THE FILLING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
Acts 1:8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” (RVR)
8 pero recibiréis poder, cuando haya venido sobre vosotros el Espíritu Santo, y me seréis testigos en Jerusalén, en toda Judea, en Samaria, y hasta lo último de la tierra. (VP) pero cuando el Espíritu Santo venga sobre ustedes, recibirán poder y saldrán a dar testimonio de mí, en Jerusalén, en toda la región de Judea y de Samaria, y hasta en las partes más lejanas de la tierra.
Acts 2:4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them. [aor.ind.passive] (RVR) Y fueron todos llenos del Espíritu Santo, y comenzaron a hablar en otras lenguas, según el Espíritu les daba que hablasen. (VP) Y todos quedaron llenos del Espíritu Santo, y comenzaron a hablar en otras lenguas, según el Espíritu hacía que hablaran.
Acts 4:8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: “Rulers and elders of the people! [aor.part.pass] (RVR) Entonces Pedro, lleno del Espíritu Santo, les dijo: Gobernantes del pueblo, y ancianos de Israel:
He stood to (v.5) the rulers, elders, teachers of law, high priest, the high priest’s family
Acts 4:31 After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly. [aor.ind.passive] (RVR) Cuando hubieron orado, el lugar en que estaban congregados tembló; y todos fueron llenos del Espíritu Santo, y hablaban con denuedo la palabra de Dios. (VP) Y todos quedaron llenos del Espíritu Santo, y comenzaron a hablar en otras lenguas, según el Espíritu hacía que hablaran.
Acts 9:17 Then Ananias went to the house and entered it. Placing his hands on Saul, he said, "Brother Saul, the Lord--Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here--has sent me so that you may see again & be filled with the Holy Spirit." [aor.subj.passive] (RVR)
Y fueron todos llenos del Espíritu Santo, y comenzaron a hablar en otras lenguas, según el Espíritu les daba que hablasen. (VP) Ananías fue a la casa donde estaba Saulo. Al entrar, puso sus manos sobre él, y le dijo: Hermano Saulo, el Señor Jesús, el que se te apareció en el camino por donde venías, me ha mandado para que recobres la vista y quedes lleno del Espíritu Santo
v.20 at once he began to preach in the synagogues that Jesus is the Son of God
Acts 13:9 Then Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked straight at Elymas and said, [aor.part.passive] (RVR) Entonces Saulo, que también es Pablo, lleno del Espíritu Santo, fijando en él los ojos, (VP) Entonces Saulo, también llamado Pablo, lleno del Espíritu Santo, lo miró fijamente
13:10 “You are a child of the devil and an enemy of everything that is right! You are full of all kinds of deceit and trickery. Will you never stop perverting the right ways of the Lord? 11Now the hand of the Lord is against you. You are going to be blind, and for a time you will be unable to see the light of the sun.” Immediately mist and darkness came over him, and he groped about, seeking someone to lead him by the hand. 12 When the proconsul saw what had happened, he believed, for he was amazed at the teaching about the Lord
Acts 13:52 And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit. (RVR) Y los discípulos estaban llenos de gozo y del Espíritu Santo. (VP) Pero los creyentes estaban llenos de alegría y del Espíritu Santo. 4137: πληρόω, to fulfill, to complete, imperf.tense]

1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. (RVR) Si confesamos nuestros pecados, él es fiel y justo para perdonar nuestros pecados, y limpiarnos de toda maldad. (VP) pero si confesamos nuestros pecados, podemos confiar en que Dios, que es justo, nos perdonará nuestros pecados y nos limpiará de toda maldad.
Act 1:5 For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit (RVR) Porque Juan ciertamente bautizó con agua, mas vosotros seréis bautizados con el Espíritu Santo dentro de no muchos días. (VP) Es cierto que Juan bautizó con agua, pero dentro de pocos días ustedes serán bautizados con el Espíritu Santo.
This statement is found 7 times in the NT (Mt. 3:11; Mk 1:8; Lk 3:16; Jn 1:33; 1 Cor. 12:13). The reference is to a once-for-all act whereby Christ places believers in the care and safekeeping of the Holy Spirit until the day He returns. The apostles had to wait until the Day of Pentecost, but since then all believers are baptized with the Holy Spirit at salvation (1 Cor. 12:13; Rom. 8:9). The word baptized, which normally means “dipped or immersed,” here has the idea of “uniting with” (1 Cor. 10:1-2)
Ac 8:15 When they arrived [at Samaria], they prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit, 16 because the Holy Spirit had not yet come upon any of them; they had simply been baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus. 17 Then Peter and John placed their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. (RVR) los cuales, habiendo venido, oraron por ellos para que recibiesen el Espíritu Santo; 16 porque aún no había descendido sobre ninguno de ellos, sino que solamente habían sido bautizados en el nombre de Jesús. 17 Entonces les imponían las manos, y recibían el Espíritu Santo. (VP) Al llegar, oraron por los creyentes de Samaria, para que recibieran el Espíritu Santo. 16 Porque todavía no había venido el Espíritu Santo sobre ninguno de ellos; solamente se habían bautizado en el nombre del Señor Jesús. 17 Entonces Pedro y Juan les impusieron las manos, y así recibieron el Espíritu Santo.
14-17. It was necessary for the apostles in Jerusalem to commission Peter and John to Samaria for several reasons. Normally the Holy Spirit baptizes, indwells, and seals at the moment of faith, but in this instance the delay served several purposes: (1) Peter and John’s prayer (for bestowing of the Holy Spirit) and their laying on of hands (resulting in the coming of the Spirit) confirmed Philip’s ministry among the Samaritans. This authenticated this new work to the Jerusalem apostles. (2) Also this confirmed Philip’s ministry to the Samaritans. This message Philip had preached was validated by the coming of the Spirit, a mark of the coming kingdom (v. 12; Jer. 31:31-34; Ezek. 36:23-27; Joel 2:28-32). (3) Perhaps the most important aspect of God’s withholding the Spirit till apostolic representatives came from the Jerusalem church was to prevent schism. Because of the natural propensity of division between Jews and Samaritans it was essential for Peter and John to welcome the Samaritan believers officially into the church. The contrast between John’s attitude here and in Luke 9:52-54 is significant. 15 Peter and John were the official messengers from Jerusalem to tell the Samaritans what had occurred at Pentecost. The Samaritans had to know that salvation came from the Jews; the Jews, in turn, had to understand that the same salvation had come to the Samaritans. Jesus said in John 17 that the world would know that Jesus came from the Father when the world saw the unity of the body of Christ. With the tremendous hatred that existed between the Jews and Samaritans, God demonstrated to both sides that they would be united together as a church. The dependence of the Samaritans upon the Jews to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit was the healing sign that the two sides were to become one. When Peter later preached to the Gentiles, they immediately believed and received the gift of the Holy Spirit without the laying on of hands (ch. 10). This served as a sign to the Jews that the same gift was being given to the Gentiles as well. The Holy Spirit was the unifying factor that would bring Jews, Samaritans, and Gentiles into one body.
Ac 10:47 "Can anyone keep these people from being baptized with water? They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have." [aor.ind.active – lambano] (RVR) Entonces respondió Pedro: ¿Puede acaso alguno impedir el agua, para que no sean bautizados estos que han recibido el Espíritu Santo también como nosotros? (VP) Entonces Pedro dijo: —¿Acaso puede impedirse que sean bautizadas estas personas, que han recibido el Espíritu Santo igual que nosotros?
Act 11:16 Then I remembered what the Lord had said: 'John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit. (RVR) Entonces me acordé de lo dicho por el Señor, cuando dijo: Juan ciertamente bautizó en agua, mas vosotros seréis bautizados con el Espíritu Santo. (VP) Entonces me acordé de lo que había dicho el Señor: ‘Es cierto que Juan bautizó con agua, pero ustedes serán bautizados con el Espíritu Santo.’

1 Cor 12:13 For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body--whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free--and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. [aor.passive.ind] (RVR) Porque por un solo Espíritu fuimos todos bautizados en un cuerpo, sean judíos o griegos, sean esclavos o libres; y a todos se nos dio a beber de un mismo Espíritu. (VP) Y de la misma manera, todos nosotros, judíos o no judíos, esclavos o libres, fuimos bautizados para formar un solo cuerpo por medio de un solo Espíritu; y a todos se nos dio a beber de ese mismo Espíritu.
This is the final time that the baptism of the Holy Spirit is used in the NT. 907 βαπτίζω [baptizo /bap·tid·zo/] verb. From a derivative of 911; 80 occurrences; AV translates as “baptize” 76 times, “wash” twice, “baptist” once, and “baptized + 2258” once. 1 to dip repeatedly, to immerse, to submerge (of vessels sunk). 2 to cleanse by dipping or submerging, to wash, to make clean with water, to wash one’s self, bathe. 3 to overwhelm. Info: Not to be confused with 911, bapto. The clearest example that shows the meaning of baptizo is a text from the Greek poet and physician Nicander, who lived about 200 B.C. It is a recipe for making pickles and is helpful because it uses both words. Nicander says that in order to make a pickle, the vegetable should first be ‘dipped’ (bapto) into boiling water and then ‘baptised’ (baptizo) in the vinegar solution. Both verbs concern the immersing of vegetables in a solution. But the first is temporary. The second, the act of baptising the vegetable, produces a permanent change.When used in the NT, this word more often refers to our union and identification with Christ than to our water baptism. Mk 16:16. He that believes and is baptised shall be saved’. Christ is saying that mere intellectual assent is not enough. There must be a union with him, a real change
Rom 8:9 You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ.
Acts 22:16 And now what are you waiting for? Get up, be baptized and wash your sins away, calling on his name. [Ananias spk to Saul)
Acts 2:38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Matthew 28:19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
Ac 19:2 and asked them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" They answered, "No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit." (RVR) les dijo: ¿Recibisteis el Espíritu Santo cuando creísteis? Y ellos le dijeron: Ni siquiera hemos oído si hay Espíritu Santo. (VP) Les preguntó: —¿Recibieron ustedes el Espíritu Santo cuando se hicieron creyentes? Ellos le contestaron: —Ni siquiera habíamos oído hablar del Espíritu Santo.
19:2 “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” The question reflects Paul’s uncertainty about their spiritual status. Since all Christians receive the Holy Spirit at the moment of salvation (Rom. 8:9; 1 Cor. 12:13), their answer revealed they were not yet fully Christians. They had not yet received Christian baptism (having been baptized only “into John’s baptism”) which further evidenced that they were not Christians (2:38).19:4 baptism of repentance … believe on … Christ Jesus. These disciples did not realize Jesus of Nazareth was the One to whom John’s baptism pointed. Paul gave them instruction not on how to receive the Spirit, but about Jesus Christ. 19:5 baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. They believed Paul’s presentation of the gospel and came to saving faith in the Lord Jesus Christ ( 2:41). Although required of all Christians, baptism does not save (2:38).19:6 Paul … laid hands on them. This signified their inclusion into the church (8:17). This is the only place in the New Testament that refers to anyone being rebaptized. Apostles were also present when the church was born (chap. 2), and when the Samaritans (chap. 8) and Gentiles (chap. 10) were included. In each case, God’s purpose was to emphasize the unity of the church
JOHN 17 – Jesus prayer for glory and unity in the church
John 17:11 I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name—the name you gave me—so that they may be one as we are one. (RVR) Y ya no estoy en el mundo; mas éstos están en el mundo, y yo voy a ti. Padre santo, a los que me has dado, guárdalos en tu nombre, para que sean uno, así como nosotros. (VP) “Yo no voy a seguir en el mundo, pero ellos sí van a seguir en el mundo, mientras que yo me voy para estar contigo. Padre santo, cuídalos con el poder de tu nombre, el nombre que me has dado, para que estén completamente unidos, como tú y yo.
John 17:21-23 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: 23 I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. (RVR) para que todos sean uno; como tú, oh Padre, en mí, y yo en ti, que también ellos sean uno en nosotros; para que el mundo crea que tú me enviaste. 22 La gloria que me diste, yo les he dado, para que sean uno, así como nosotros somos uno. 23 Yo en ellos, y tú en mí, para que sean perfectos en unidad, para que el mundo conozca que tú me enviaste, y que los has amado a ellos como también a mí me has amado. (VP) Te pido que todos ellos estén unidos; que como tú, Padre, estás en mí y yo en ti, también ellos estén en nosotros, para que el mundo crea que tú me enviaste. 22 Les he dado la misma gloria que tú me diste, para que sean una sola cosa, así como tú y yo somos una sola cosa: 23 yo en ellos y tú en mí, para que lleguen a ser perfectamente uno, y que así el mundo pueda darse cuenta de que tú me enviaste, y que los amas como me amas a mí.

THE FILLING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT – A REPEATED EVENT
Ac 2:4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them. [aor.ind.passive; 4130 πίμπλημι [pletho] (RVR) Y fueron todos llenos del Espíritu Santo, y comenzaron a hablar en otras lenguas, según el Espíritu les daba que hablasen. (VP) Y todos quedaron llenos del Espíritu Santo, y comenzaron a hablar en otras lenguas, según el Espíritu hacía que hablaran.
v.11 we hear them declaring the wonders of God
In contrast to the baptism with the Spirit, which is the one-time act by which God places believers into His body (1 Cor. 12:13), the filling is a repeated reality of Spirit-controlled behavior that God commands believers to maintain (Eph. 5:18). Peter and many others in Acts 2 were filled with the Spirit again (4:8, 31; 6:5; 7:55) and so spoke boldly the Word of God. The fullness of the Spirit affects all areas of life, not just speaking boldly (Eph. 5:19–33). The filling with the Holy Spirit is separate from the baptism of the Spirit. The Spirit’s baptism occurs once for each believer at the moment of salvation (11:15-16; Rom. 6:3; 1 Cor. 12:13; Col. 2:12), but the Spirit’s filling may occur not only at salvation but also on a number of occasions after salvation (Acts 4:8, 31; 6:3, 5; 7:55; 9:17; 13:9, 52). This event marked the beginning of the church. Up to this point the church was anticipated (Matt. 16:18). The church is constituted a body by means of Spirit baptism (1 Cor. 12:13). The first occurrence of the baptism of the Spirit therefore must indicate the inauguration of the church. Of course Acts 2:1-4 does not state that Spirit baptism took place at Pentecost. However, 1:5 anticipates it and 11:15-16 refers back to it as having occurred at Pentecost. The church, therefore, came into existence then.
The Church Worshiping the Lord (Acts 2:2–13) As we study the events of Pentecost, it is important that we separate the accidentals from the essentials. The Spirit came and the people heard the sound of rushing wind and saw tongues of fire. The Spirit baptized and filled the believers, and then spoke as they praised God in various languages. The Spirit empowered Peter to preach, and then He convicted the listeners so that 3,000 of them trusted Christ and were saved. Let’s consider these ministries one by one. The Spirit came (vv. 2–3). The Holy Spirit had been active prior to Pentecost and had worked in Creation (Gen. 1:1–2), in Old Testament history (Jud. 6:34; 1 Sam. 16:13), and in the life and ministry of Jesus (Luke 1:30–37; 4:1, 14; Acts 10:38). However, now there would be two changes: the Spirit would dwell in people and not just come on them, and His presence would be permanent, not temporary (John 14:16–17). The Spirit could not have come sooner, for it was essential that Jesus die, be raised from the dead, and return to heaven before the Spirit could be given (John 7:37–39; 16:7ff). Remember the Jewish calendar in Leviticus 23: Passover, Firstfruits, and then Pentecost. There were three startling signs that accompanied the coming of the Spirit: the sound of a rushing wind, tongues of fire, and the believers praising God in various languages. The word Spirit is the same as “wind” in both the Hebrew and the Greek (John 3:8). The people did not feel the wind; they heard the sound of a mighty wind. It is likely the believers were in the temple when this occurred (Luke 24:53). The word house in Acts 2:2 can refer to the temple (see Acts 7:47). The tongues of fire symbolized the powerful witness of the church to the people. Campbell Morgan reminds us that our tongues can be set on fire either by heaven or by hell! (James 3:5–6) Combine wind and fire and you have—a blaze! The Spirit baptized (1:5). The Greek word baptizo has two meanings, one literal and the other figurative. The word literally means “to submerge,” but the figurative meaning is “to be identified with.” The baptism of the Spirit is that act of God by which He identified believers with the exalted Head of the church, Jesus Christ, and formed the spiritual body of Christ on earth (1 Cor. 12:12–14). Historically, this took place at Pentecost; today, it takes place whenever a sinner trusts Jesus Christ and is born again. When you read about “baptism” in the New Testament, you must exercise discernment to determine whether the word is to be interpreted literally or symbolically. For example, in Romans 6:3–4 and Galatians 3:27–28, the reference is symbolic since water baptism cannot put a sinner into Jesus Christ. Only the Holy Spirit can do that (Rom. 8:9; 1 Cor. 12:13; see Acts 10:44–48). Water baptism is a public witness of the person’s identification with Jesus Christ, while Spirit baptism is the personal and private experience that identifies the person with Christ. It is important to note that historically, the baptism of the Spirit took place in two stages: the Jewish believers were baptized at Pentecost, and the Gentiles were baptized and added to the body in the home of Cornelius (Acts 10:44–48; 11:15–17; and see Eph. 2:11–22). The Spirit filled (v. 4). The filling of the Spirit has to do with power for witness and service (Acts 1:8). We are not exhorted to be baptized by the Spirit, for this is something God does once and for all when we trust His Son. But we are commanded to be filled with the Spirit (Eph. 5:18), for we need His power constantly if we are to serve God effectively. At Pentecost, the Christians were filled with the Spirit and experienced the baptism of the Spirit; but after that, they experienced many fillings (Acts 4:8, 31; 9:17; 13:9) but no more baptisms. Occasionally someone says, “What difference does it make what words we use? The important thing is that we have the experience!” I doubt that they would apply that same approach to any other area of life such as medicine, cooking, or mechanics. What difference does it make if the pharmacist uses arsenic or aspirin in the prescription, just so long as you get well? Or if the mechanic installs an alternator or a carburetor, just so long as the car works? The Holy Spirit has revealed God’s truth to us in words (1 Cor. 2:12–13), and these words have definite meanings that must not be changed. Regeneration must not be confused with justification, nor propitiation with adoption. Each of these words is important in God’s plan of salvation and must be defined accurately and used carefully. The baptism of the Spirit means that I belong to His body; the fullness of the Spirit means that my body belongs to Him. The baptism is final; the fullness is repeated as we trust God for new power to witness. The baptism involves all other believers, for it makes us one in the body of Christ (Eph. 4:1–6); while the fullness is personal and individual. These are two distinct experiences and they must not be confused.

Y fueron todos llenos del Espíritu Santo, y comenzaron a hablar en otras lenguas, según el Espíritu les daba que hablasen. (VP) Ananías fue a la casa donde estaba Saulo.
