Jan 4, 2022 · The reception of the Holy Spirit in Acts 2:4, then, was the baptism of the Holy Spirit, which resulted in the disciples being indwelt by the Holy Spirit permanently (Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 12:13). The other view is that Jesus’ breathing on the disciples in John 20:22 did not impart the Holy Spirit at that time; rather, the breathing was a promise—an anticipation of the coming Pentecost.
Jan 1, 2018 · The Gospels teach that Jesus received the Holy Spirit at the moment of John’s baptism. Prior to that moment, Jesus did not have the anointing of the Spirit of God.

It is significant that the gospel of Luke tells us that John the Baptist was filled with the Holy Spirit from his birth. But was John the Baptist filled with the Holy Spirit all the time? Before Pentecost, the Holy Spirit never indwelt a person all the time – continuously. The Holy Spirit did not remain permanently in a person until after Pentecost...
Since John the Baptist was filled with the Holy Spirit at his birth, it is difficult to believe that Jesus was not filled with the Holy Spirit at His birth since Christ was of higher rank than John. That is the testimony of John the Baptist. Why would John be filled and not Jesus since Jesus was God in human flesh? Yet, we cannot state that positiv...
But when was Jesus filled with the Holy Spirit? The first time we are told Jesus was filled with the Spiritis at His baptism (Matthew 3:16-17; Luke 3:21-22). At this point we should ask, “Why did the Holy Spirit need to rest on Him if He was God?” The answer is found in Philippians 2:6-7 where we are told that Jesus”emptied” Himself. But of what di...
Mar 19, 2020 · The nature of the Holy Spirit is revealed to us not to dissect, but to receive and embrace and trust and love. When Jesus, God the Son, breathed on his disciples, he didn’t say, “Comprehend the Holy Spirit.”. He said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.”. For in receiving the Holy Spirit, they — and we — also receive the indwelling of the ...
Apr 29, 2021 · In John 20:21-22, during Jesus’ first resurrection appearance to the apostles, He said, “'Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.'.

Mar 23, 2018 · For example, in Acts certain individuals are filled with the Spirit such that they do amazing things for God (e.g., Acts 4:8; 7:55). This is the sort of thing behind “Holy Spirit.” As Bryan Torwalt explains: There was a childhood song that was about the Holy Spirit that I remember singing in church as a kid.

May 10, 2015 · Breath is often a picture of the Spirit (in fact, the Hebrew word for Spirit is also the word for breath), so Jesus “breathed” on the men while He was standing with them in His physical presence to indicate what He was preparing to do later by the Spirit. Therefore, Jesus was not imparting the Spirit to them in John 20 in any real sense.
