1. A STUDY OF HOLY SPIRIT BAPTISM WHAT THE WORD OF GOD TEACHES “SOME FACTS ABOUT HOLY SPIRIT BAPTISM:”

2. Holy Spirit Baptism Always A Promise …. --- NEVER A Command. Matt. 3:11 --- "He shall baptize you...” Mk. 1:8 --- "He shall baptize you with the H.S.” Lk. 3:16 --- "He shall baptize you with the H.S.” John 1:33 --- ".. the same is He which... the H.S.” Acts 1:5 --- "... ye shall be baptized with the H.S.” Acts 11:16 --- "... ye shall be baptized with the H.S."

3. POINTS TO BE NOTED Jesus Christ is the administrator of H.S. baptism not men. It was promised to some who either had, or could have received John's baptism. The promise of the H.S. baptism was made only to some in John's generation! NOT unto You and Me!

4. Only Two Recorded Cases In The New Testament. Consider "all flesh" of Joel 2:28 ; Acts 2:16-17. Jews (Apostles) on Pentecost --- Acts 2:1-4. Gentiles (Cornelius & Others) --- Acts 10:44- 47 ; Acts 11:15-17. NOTE: It is not recorded that Paul received Baptism of the H.S. yet it is indicated by passages such as: Acts 9:17 2Cor. 11:5 2Tim. 1:6 THESE ARE THE BASIC FACTSTHESE ARE THE BASIC FACTS

5. THE PURPOSE OF HOLY SPIRIT BAPTISM. To guide the Apostles into all truth --- John 14:26 ; 16:13. To confirm the message preached -- - Mark 16:20 ; Hebrews 2:3-4. Gentiles received H.S. baptism to assure them and to convince the Jews that God was granting repentance unto life to the Gentiles also --- Acts 10:44-47 ; Acts 11:15- 18.

6. THERE IS ONLY ONE BAPTISM TODAY! At one time there were other baptisms. By the time of A.D. 64 Paul said in Ephesians that there was only "ONE BAPTISM" --- Eph. 4:5. This "One Baptism" is water baptism. Consider: Matt. 28:19-20 ; Note in A.D. 64 Peter wrote --- I Peter 3:20-21. One can not have both Holy Spirit Baptism and water Baptism --- "ONE BAPTISM"

7. NO HOLY SPIRIT BAPTISM TODAY! There is no need for Holy Spirit Baptism Today! –We have "all the truth". James 1:25 ; 2Tim. 3:16-17 ; 2Peter 1:3 –The "truth" (Gospel Message) has been confirmed --- Mark 16:20 ; Heb. 2:3-4 ; Galatians 3:15. We are convinced and accept that the Gentiles are accepted by God --- Acts 15:7-9.

8. There is NO EVIDENCE of H.S. baptism today ! No one today is healing the sick, casting out demons/devils, raising the dead, ect. by God's power as in the 1st Century. –After the Apostles received H.S. Baptism they never tried and failed - so far as the record goes --- Acts 5:16. –In the 1st. Cent. the N.T. was confirmed/ proven by "miracles". Today some try to confirm/prove their "miracles" by the New Testament. –There is not one person alive today who was of the generation of John, to whom H.S. baptism was promised.

9. WHY DON'T THOSE WHO CLAIM H.S BAPTISM TODAY, OBEY AND TEACH WHAT THE H.S HAS REVEALED??? God's Plan of Salvation --- Mark 16:16. The "ONE CHURCH" --- Matt. 1:18 ; Col. 1:18 ; Ephesians 4:4ff. True "WORSHIP" --- John 4:24 ; I Cor. 14:33,40.

10. HOW CAN TWO BE SO DIFFERENT? –Congregational Organization --- Phil. 1:1. –NAME of the Body of Christ --- Acts 11:26 ; I Peter 4:16. –TITLES --- Matthew 23:8-10 ; Psa. 111:9. –I Corinthians 14:34-35 ; I Tim. 2:11-12.
