Pentecostalism is usually defined as a movement in Christianity that thinks of the baptism of the Holy Spirit as a second experience, usually after conversion, marked by speaking in tongues. That’s the stereotype, anyway, of what Pentecostalism means. That really is an oversimplification. I just finished a book by Allan Heaton Anderson, To the Ends...
It’s important that we clarify the meaning of biblical terms like “baptism in (or with) the Holy Spirit” because it is a biblical term. It’s part of Christian experience. What I’m going to suggest is that the way Paul uses the phrase in 1 Corinthians 12:13 and the way Luke uses the phrase (or Jesus reported by Luke) in Acts 1:5are not the same. Tha...
In 1 Corinthians 12:12–13, Paul says, Now, I think virtually everyone agrees that Paul’s understanding here of baptism by the Spirit is the act by which the Spirit unites us to Jesus Christ and his body, the church. In other words, it’s conversion. It’s becoming a Christian. This is what it means to be a Christian: to be moved upon by the Holy Spir...
Now, I don’t think that’s the way Jesus and Luke are using this similar phrase in Acts 1:4–5. Here’s what Jesus says as Luke quotes him: He’s quoting John the Baptist from Luke 3:16, where John says, “I baptize you with water, but he who is mightier than I is coming, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He [Jesus] will baptize you w...
Well, what then does Jesus mean in Acts 1:5 and Luke 3? I think when he says you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit, he means you will receive extraordinary power for Christ-exalting ministry. That’s what I think he means. You will receive extraordinary power for Christ-exalting ministry. Now, that experience may come in an unusual, decisive exp...
I think the language is various in the book of Acts for these kinds of things, which are not continuous. You have Paul on Cyprus, and he’s about to speak. It says he was filled with the Holy Spirit, and then he has an extraordinary power to deal with this magician there on the island (Acts 13:8–12). That’s the kind of thing that I think Jesus was s...
My understanding of baptism with the Holy Spirit is that Paul uses a form of this phrase to refer to what happens at the new birth. Luke uses a form of this phrase, when quoting Jesus, for the empowering by the Spirit. To answer the question about the peculiar signs, it may or may not include various signs like tongues or other unusual manifestatio...
May 1, 2024 · God has given the church this ordinance to strengthen and nourish His people. This does not mean that baptism has any power in itself, but rather that the Holy Spirit uses the act of baptism to convey grace to God’s people when the sign is met with faith.
May 14, 2024 · As we journey into Acts 8 we witness a profound demonstration of the transformative power of baptism.
