The Free Gift of Life
Ho! Everyone who thirsts, Come to the waters;
And you who have no money, Come, buy and eat.
Yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and
without price. Why do you spend money for
what is not bread, And your wages for what does not
satisfy? -Isaiah 55:1–2
The One Who Returned
THE ONE WHO RETURNED
…Jesus asked, ‘Were not all ten cleansed?
Where are the other nine? Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?’
Then he said to him, ‘Rise and go; your faith has made you well.'— Luke 17:11–19”
SALVATION AND BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT
When you are born again, you are born again by the Spirit and God’s Spirit seals us which means we belong to God (Eph. 1:13). The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is a separate experience from salvation that every believer should seek and receive. John the Baptist said in Matthew 3:11, “I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me will come One who is more powerful than I...He (referring to Jesus) will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.” On the Day of Pentecost, Peter said in Acts 2:38–39, “Repent and be baptized...in the Name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. This promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off.”
The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is a gift from God that belongs to every believer.
The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is an experience distinct from and subsequent to salvation.
