Schism Gifts of the Spirit Fruit of the Spirit ServiceSanctification The power The Person Some believers All believers SubsequentSimultaneous After conversion At conversion PentecostalEvangelical Paul’s letters! Luke & Acts

Semantics Christians often use the same words with different shades of meaning. The basic meaning of “baptised in the Spirit” is “immersed in the Spirit.” Yet Paul and Luke use it with a different focus. Failure to realise this has caused much division among believers, depending on which view they emphasise.

Semantics receiving the Person Paul uses the phrase “baptised in the Spirit” to denote receiving the Person of the Spirit. releasing the power Luke uses the phrase “baptised in the Spirit” to denote releasing the power of the Spirit.

SemanticsPaul  Receiving the Person  Salvation and sanctification  Holy Spirit working in us Luke  Releasing the power  Service and spiritual gifts  Holy Spirit working through us

Summary Person 1. You receive the Person of the Spirit at salvation presence 2. You enjoy the presence of the Spirit from salvation power 3. You release the power of the Spirit after salvation

So what? Charismaniacs: 1. Charismaniacs: avoid pride and pressuring. Cessationists: 2. Cessationists: do not quench the Spirit’s fire. Condemned: 3. Condemned: rest in His presence; trust for his power.
