Baptism of The Holy Spirit: Biblical Basis Explained
But YOU Shall Receive Power
“And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 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. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.” (John 14:15-18)
The Bible has the most valuable substance ever given to man, God’s word breathed and spoken. When God spoke the worlds into existence, he also breathed life into man. Adam and Eve lived in the Garden of Eden, a perfect world.
They had no reason to fall into sin, with the few instructions their Father had given them. When the serpent came to deceive, he also tempted, concerning the tree of knowledge of good and evil. This was the beginning of sin throughout the ages.
They reasoned, justified their present situation, and ate. Every since this horrible mistake, mankind has been under the bondage of sin. It was not until Jesus came to set mankind free from the law of sin and death. One man in the beginning made a decision to sin, now he can choose to be free from the bondage of sin and death through the redemption of Jesus Christ.
The Problem of Reason and Questioning
The age old problem of reason and questioning has caused many to be robbed from the blessings of eternal life and fellowship with God. In the tower of Babel we can see where man again tried to build a tower to the sky to worship their god. God scattered these men by confounded their tongues, so they no longer could communicate.
God doesn’t desire for us to try and figure Him out. He wants fellowship and He desires for our communication to be restored to Him. Our natural mind has trouble knowing how to communicate effectively to God.
He has provided a way back, restoration of our language we had with Him in the Garden of Eden. The Baptism in the Holy Spirit is not based upon a denominational doctrine. The Holy Spirit is the way we live, having open communication directly to the Father.
