“The Christian life begins and continues by the power of the Holy Spirit, whom God has graciously sent first to awaken us to our need for salvation, then to give us a new birth, and finally to dwell within us to eventually present us flawless when Christ returns.” John MacArthur, The Silent Shepherd.

The Baptism in the Holy Spirit
Ezekiel 36:26-28 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put My Spirit in you and move you to follow My decrees and be careful to keep My laws.
“Whoever believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him. By this He meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were later to receive.” —Jesus (John 7:38-39)
It is a gift from God Acts 1:4-5 On one occasion, while He [Jesus] was eating with them, He gave them this command: "Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift My Father promised, which you have heard Me speak about. For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit."
The gift is for all who desire it Acts 2:17-18 In the last days, God says, “I will pour out My Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. Even on My servants, both men and women, I will pour out My Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.”
Luke 11:11-13 "Which of you fathers, if your son asks fora fish, will give him a snake instead? Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!"
• To believe in Christ is to receive baptism of the Spirit Receiving the baptism of Spirit means being placed in the body of Christ Every believer receives the same Spirit at point of salvation The Holy Spirit is God’s agent in bringing believers into body of Christ. It is the Spirit’s initiation and work that produces His baptism. • Salvation and baptism are not two separate phases of regeneration.
Purpose = dynamic witnesses Acts 1:8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. Power = dunamis = inherent power/ability
• The dominant truths about the Spirit’s work to seal believers are the ideas of ownership, authority, responsibility, and security: 1. The certainty of possession by God. 2. The certainty of the promise of His salvation. 3. The certainty of His purpose to keep us until the day of redemption. • “…only God can break the seal of our redemption, and He has promised not to do so; and the guarantee of that promise is the presence of the Holy Spirit who is the one in whom we have been sealed by God.” [Ryrie, The Holy Spirit.]
• Jn. 14:6 — He is given as a promise of Christ • Eph. 1:13 — He is given at the time of salvation • 1 Cor. 6:19 — He is given to all believers (even the not so godly ones) • Eph. 4:30 — He is given as a promise of the future • Psalm 51:11 — He is given, never to be taken away
“And do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit…” (Eph. 5:18)
• Filling, unlike indwelling and sealing, is a command •Filling is conditional •Filling is Continuous
• The sin was against Christ • The sin was against the Holy Spirit • The sin against the Spirit was eternal Matthew 12:30-32: "Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. And so I tell you, any sin and blasphemy can be forgiven. ... And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven."
• These gifts are gifts of grace • The gifts are various, but the source and purpose is the same • The gifts are exercised by the individual, but God is still the One who does the work • These gifts are supernatural, not natural • These gifts are to each individual believer to be used in serving others • These gifts are to be used in proportion to the grace that gave them to us • These gifts are given according to the Spirit’s will, not worthiness or unworthiness • These gifts are for the benefit of the entire church
