Jesus was Baptized with water first, and then received the “Baptism with the Holy Ghost”. The following Scriptures reveal a situation where that process was reversed. This proves that there is no set order of the “Baptism with the Holy Ghost”, other than that we must be ‘Saved’ first. We have seen cases where the “Baptism with the ...
In the book of Acts, we see evidence of individuals receiving the baptism in the Holy Spirit. In Acts 10:44–48, the Gentiles who were gathered in Cornelius’ house were baptized in the Holy Ghost and spoke with tongues, and the Jews with Peter were amazed at this evidence.

I have a friend who spent some time in an airport chatting with someone who asked him an interesting question. When this person discovered that my friend was a born-again Christian, she asked point-blank, “Have you been baptized with the Holy Spirit?” My friend said yes, but the woman wasn’t satisfied. She wanted to know, “Have you spoken in tongue...
The answer is, it takes place the moment you are saved. Article E of the Calvary Memorial Church Articles of Faith states the matter this way: We believe that the baptism of the Holy Spirit occurs at the moment of conversion and is that act whereby believers are united with Christ as part of His body. That’s a sentence we added when we revised the ...
The answer is no. Nowhere in the New Testament are believers told to seek the baptism of the Holy Spirit. We are exhorted to be filled with the Spirit, to walk in the Spirit, to quench not the Spirit, to make sure that we do not grieve the Holy Spirit. All these things are ongoing commands for the people of God—and all should be on our hearts and m...
I find it interesting that Jesus makes a comparison between the water baptism of John the Baptist and Holy Spirit baptism. What is the point of comparison? On one hand you had John the Baptist dipping believers in the waters of the Jordan River. On the other hand the Holy Spirit takes new believers and places them into the body of Christ. I see thr...
I close my remarks with two simple questions: 1) Have you ever trusted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior? This is the most important issue you will ever face. Until you come to Jesus, you can never know the power of the Holy Spirit in your life. If you have the slightest desire for a new life, if there is a stirring within to turn from your sin, if y...
Whenever I preach about the Holy Spirit, I am reminded of Robert Boyd Munger’s wonderful little book, My Heart, Christ’s Home, in which he compares the heart to a beautiful house with many rooms.(7) All of us have special rooms that we reserve for entertaining our guests. Most of us also have closets, basements and attics that we try to keep out of...
(1)I should mention that the term “baptism of the Holy Spirit” does not occur in the New Testament. Instead we have the phrase “baptized in/with/by the Holy Spirit.” The “in/with/by” means that the Greek word en could be translated with any of those English words. (2)Billy Graham makes the helpful point that 1 Corinthians 12:13 is in the past tense...
The baptism of the Holy Ghost is the experience of the Holy Spirit coming into a person’s life to give power for God’s service. Thus, a study of this experience must begin with an exploration of the Person and nature of the Holy Spirit.
