Luke 24:45-49
45 Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures.
46 He told them, "This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day,
47 and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
48 You are witnesses of these things.
49 I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high."
Acts 1:5; 2:1-4
1:5 For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”
1 When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.
2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.
3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them.
4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.
1. The Promise: Acts 1:5
2. God's will: Luke 24:47,48
How to preach the Gospel in all the world?
The Purpose of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit is to have Power to Serve: Acts 1:8
Power: Greek dynamis = force, strenght, miraculous power
JESUS CHRIST WAS ANOINTED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT
Luke 4:18,19; Acts 10:38
THE DISCIPLES WERE ANOINTED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT
See Peter in Acts 2:36-38
-> Jesus gave them power: Matthew 10:1
For whom is the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?
“The baptism with the Holy Spirit is for all, in all ages, who believe on Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord and are children of God through Him. It is intended to be the normal divine provision for a fully adequate Christian work and witness, available to all believers of all stations, all times, all races, and all callings”.
