  3. Holy Spirit Baptisms Questions the Bible will answer for us: 1.What was the significance of the Day of Pentecost?

  4. Holy Spirit Baptisms Questions the Bible will answer for us: 2.How are we to understand Holy Spirit baptisms in New Testament times?

  5. Holy Spirit Baptisms Pentecost in biblical perspective 1-1 Luke's “HolySpirit baptism” language 1-6

  6. 1966 1918 1979 1996

  7. Books like these are products of 20th century Christendom. They represent Orthodoxy’s reac-tion to the emergence of the Pentecostal movement in 1901. Together, books of this kind show how Orthodoxy attempts to understand Pentecost and Holy Spirit baptism.

  8. In Orthodox theology, the Day of Pentecost stands along side the Incarnation, Crucifixion, Resurrection, and Ascension of Christ in historical impor-tance. It is viewed as the crowning act of Christ’s re-demptive work. Orthodoxy Orthodoxy

  9. The baptism in Holy Spirit that took place on the Day of Pentecost was an institutional event. Its context was The Church. It in-volved the entire body of 120 believers who assembled that day in an upper room at Jerusalem (Acts 1:15; Acts 2:1-4). Orthodoxy

  10. The Day of Pentecost was the birthday of the Christian Church. Orthodoxy

  11. On the Day of Pentecost Christ established once-for-all that he would ever work in his Church by the power of the Holy Spirit. Orthodoxy

  12. Orthodox cessationists assert that the miraculous baptism in Holy Spirit that took place on the Day of Pentecost was an unrepeatable event. Orthodoxy

  13. In the cessationists’ view, baptism in Holy Spirit today is the same as conversion. It does not involve miraculous empowerments. Miraculous gifts were a phenomenon of New Testament times only. Orthodoxy

  14. Orthodox charismatics assert that the miraculous baptism in Holy Spirit that took place on the Day of Pentecost was a repeatable paradigm. Orthodoxy

  15. In the charismatics’ view, a believer today not only ex- periences conversion but may expect an empowering Holy Spirit baptism as well. Mira-culous gifts were intended for “the last days” or the new covenant age – that is, for all church history. Orthodoxy

  16. Both branches of Orthodoxy – ces-sationists and charismatics – look for the meaning of Holy Spirit bap-tism within the framework of church history. For the one, at least since New Testament times, it is conver-sional and subtle; for the other it is extra-conversional and miraculous. Orthodoxy

  17. In either case, Orthodoxy seeks the significance of Holy Spirit baptism in the life of the mortal believer, here and now. Where do we stand? Orthodoxy

  18. Orthodoxy fails to see Holy Spirit baptism as the gift of eternal life which believing men and women – devoid of inherent immortality – will receive from the glorified Christ at his coming. Orthodoxy

  19. The doctrine of inherent im-mortality – “the immortality of the soul” – makes it impossible for Orthodoxy to comprehend that a converted believer must yet be baptized with the Holy Spirit if he is to live forever in the presence of God! Orthodoxy

  20. Put another way, why is it imperative for a believing man or woman to be baptized with the Holy Spirit in order to be saved? Orthodoxy simply does not have a satisfactory answer to this question. Orthodoxy

  21. Cessationists equate Holy Spirit baptism with the believing process itself. They effectively evade the question by calling this “salvation”. Orthodoxy

  22. Charismatics on the other hand view Holy Spirit baptism as extra-conversional. But, if pres-sed, they will grant that the experience is not necessary for a believer to be saved. Orthodoxy

  23. Orthodoxy simply does not understand man’s fundamental need of eternal life. Orthodoxy

  24. Pentecost in biblical perspective Birthday the of Christian church? Pentecost or ... ?

  25. Pentecost in biblical perspective John's Gospel John 7:37 On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. 38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” 39 But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom (which) those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

  26. Pentecost in biblical perspective John 7:37 On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. 38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” 39 But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom (which) those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

  27. Pentecost in biblical perspective John 7:37 On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. 38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” 39 But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom (which) those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. Living water speaks of eternal life: Cp. John 4:10 Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knewthe gift of God,and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given youliving water.... 14 ... whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up intoeverlasting life.”

  28. Pentecost in biblical perspective John 7:37 On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. 38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers ofliving water.” 39 But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom (which) those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

  29. Pentecost in biblical perspective John 7:37 On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. 38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers ofliving water.” 39 But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom (which) those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

  30.

Holy Spirit baptism – the giving of eternal life to those who believe in Jesus – would depend on the glorification of Jesus by the Father.

  31. Pentecost in biblical perspective John 7:37 On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. 38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” 39 But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom (which) those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. Did the Apostle John – to say nothing of Jesus – have only the Day of Pentecost in mind when he wrote these words, well after the Day of Pentecost?

  32. Pentecost in biblical perspective Just Just Pentecost? NT times? John 7:38 ... He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers ofliving water.” 39 But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom (which) those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

  33. Pentecost in biblical perspective Just NT times? John 7:38 ... He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers ofliving water.” 39 But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom (which) those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. Did any believer receive eternal life on the Day of Pentecost – or at any time afterward in all of church history?

  34. Pentecost in biblical perspective John's Gospel John 20:21 So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” 22 And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”

  35. Pentecost in biblical perspective What day was this? John 20:21 So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” 22 And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”

  36. Pentecost in biblical perspective What day was this? John 20:21 So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” 22 And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.” This was the day that Jesus rose from the dead. What the Apostle John has recorded here is almost certainly to be read against John 7:39. Jesus has been glorified!He now breathes new life into his apostles – an earnest of eternal life to come.

  37. Pentecost in biblical perspective What day was this? John 20:21 So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” 22 And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.” This was the day that Jesus rose from the dead. What the Apostle John has recorded here is almost certainly to be read against John 7:39.Jesus has been glorified!It was on this day that Jesus breathed new life first of all into his apostles.

  38. Pentecost in biblical perspective What day was this? John 20:21 So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” 22 And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.” This was the day that Jesus rose from the dead. What the Apostle John has recorded here is almost certainly to be read against John 7:39. Jesus has been glorified! It was on the day of his resurrec-tion that Jesus breathed new life first of all into his apostles.

  39. Pentecost in biblical perspective What day was this? John 20:21 So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” 22 And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.” The Holy Spirit ministry of Jesus began on the day that he rose from the dead, not the Day of Pentecost!

  40. Pentecost in biblical perspective The birthday What doesJohn 20:22 of man! remind us of? Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being. Birthday? Genesis 2:7!

  41. Pentecost in biblical perspective The birthday of man! Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being. The birthday of the Christian Church took place on the day that Jesus was begotten from the dead, received eternal life from his Father, and showed for the first time that he is now the life-giving Spirit.

  42. Pentecost in biblical perspective The Day of Pentecost served a related but different purpose.

  43. Pentecost in biblical perspective The Acts Acts 1:4 And being assembled together with them (probably the apostles, v.2), He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from Me; 5 for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”

  44. Pentecost in biblical perspective Acts 1:4 And being assembled together with them (probably the apostles, v.2), He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from Me; 5 for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”

  45. Pentecost in biblical perspective Acts 1:4 And being assembled together with them (probably the apostles, v.2), He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from Me; 5 for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.” Baptized with the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost? But only once, and only on the Day of Pentecost? Absolutely!

  46. Pentecost in biblical perspective Acts 1:4 And being assembled together with them (probably the apostles, v.2), He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from Me; 5 for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.” Baptized with the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost? But only once, and only on the Day of Pentecost? Absolutely!

  47. Pentecost in biblical perspective Acts 1:4 And being assembled together with them (probably the apostles, v.2), He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from Me; 5 for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.” We may assume a once-for-all baptism of the apostles with the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost, but nothing in the text compels us to believe that this was all that Jesus intended.

  48. Pentecost in biblical perspective Acts 1:4 And being assembled together with them (probably the apostles, v.2), He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from Me; 5 for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.” We have already seen that Jesus breathed the Holy Spirit into his apostles on the Day of Resurrection. Pentecost was not a first in this respect.

  49. Pentecost in biblical perspective Acts 1:4 And being assembled together with them (probably the apostles, v.2), He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from Me; 5 for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.” Much in the Book of Acts and the rest of the New Testament demands that we rethink such an assumption. Multiple bap-tisms with the Holy Spirit – even (especially!) of the apostles – were a reality of New Testa-ment times.
