  4. Dr. Ray S. Hughes • Dr. Ray Hughes says, “In the name of the Father we see the parent from whom we have wondered. In the name of Jesus we see the Savior by whom we are reconciled. In the name of the Holy Spirit we see the atmosphere in which our spirits are to live, move, and have their being.”

  5. A Definite Personality • He possesses all the characteristics of a person. • He possesses attributes of mind. (Romans 8:27) • He has a will. (I Corinthians 12:11) • He feels. (Ephesians 4:30) • He witnesses. (Hebrews 10:25) He teaches. (John 14:26) • He intercedes. (Romans 8:26) • He speaks. (Revelation 2:7)

  6. A Spirit Filled People • The New Testament also tells us that He can be lied to, grieved, and blasphemed. The Holy Spirit must be honored and acknowledged in our personal prayer life as well as in our corporate worship.

  7. A Spirit Filled People • The precious Holy Spirit is omnipotent, omniscient, and He is everywhere, all the time present. He is God and He is available to meet with you so that He may lead you to Jesus Christ.

  8. II Corinthians 3 Reveals Three Things • 1) Verse 6 says that He gives life; • 2) Verse 17 tells us that He liberates, • 3) Verse 18 reveals to us that His mission is to make us into the image and likeness of the Lord Jesus Christ.

  9. His Desire • His desire today is to give us a disposition like the mighty Son of God, Jesus Christ. • The Holy Spirit is a divine person and He is the administrator of the affairs of His church. • And He longs to establish a relationship with you and me. • A relationship with the Holy Spirit will begin with the baptism of the Holy Spirit, which is also called the infilling of the Holy Spirit.

  10. The Baptism of the Holy Spirit • In Matthew 3:11 – John the Baptist gave this prophecy, “I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.” • Acts 1:5 Jesus told us before He ascended into heaven “John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”

  11. Dr. Fuchsia Pickett • Dr. Fuchsia Pickett writes that there are four different baptisms recorded in the Bible and each one must be distinguished from the others: They are as follows: 1. The Baptism of Repentance – This is the Baptism of John as recorded in Acts 18:25. When a believer repents they are born again and baptized into the Body of Christ, the family of God. I Corinthians 12:13.

  12. Dr. Fuchsia Pickett • Baptism in Water – This baptism follows our baptism into the Body of Christ. It is a public demonstration that we are following Christ and have abandoned our old sinful ways. • Baptism of Suffering – In Luke 12:50 Jesus says, “But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished.” (NAS) He was referring to the sufferings that were related to His death on the cross.

  13. Dr. Pickett • The Baptism into the Holy Spirit – This is the enduement with power that Jesus promised to His disciples.

  14. Acts 2:39 • Acts 2:39 – “For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”

  15. George O. Woods • George O. Wood gives the following reasons why the believer needs to experience the baptism or infilling of the Holy Spirit:

  16. George O. Woods • To be empowered to witness – Acts 4:32 – “They spoke the word of God with boldness.” • To increase our fruitfulness – John 15:2 – “That it may bring forth more fruit.” • To equip us for life’s adversities – Ephesians 6:11 – “Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.”

  17. Acts 1:8 • “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

  18. Signs that Accompany the Baptism • There are signs that accompany as well as follow the baptism of the Holy Spirit. • The first or initial evidence will be “speaking in tongues.” • Perhaps the most controversial thing we do in Pentecostal/Charismatic churches is to “speak with other tongues.”

  19. Acts 2:3 • Acts 2:3 – says that “there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. • Verse 4 – And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.”

  20. Donald Stamps • Donald Stamps defines “speaking with tongues” as “a supernatural manifestation of the Spirit. It may be an existing language or an unknown language on earth.” • “Such speech has not been learned and is often unintelligible both to the speaker and the hearers.”

  21. Why do we Value Speaking with Tongues? • We value speaking in tongues because the Bible teaches it. • All Apostles but Judas spoke in tongues. • The Apostle Paul spoke in tongues – I Corinthians 14:2, 4. • The 120 in the Upper Room spoke in tongues – Acts 2:1-4 • Those gathered at the home of Cornelius – Acts 10:44-46 • The 12 believers that were at Ephesus – Acts 19:6-7

  22. Value Speaking in Tongues • We value speaking in tongues because it a form of prayer to God – I Corinthians 14:2 says when we pray in tongues that we are speaking to God. • We value speaking in tongues because it edifies the believer – Jude 20 says that when we pray in the Spirit we build up our faith. • We value speaking in tongues as a sign to unbelievers and believers – I Corinthians 14:22.

  23. We Value Speaking in Tongues • We value speaking in tongues as way each believer can cooperate with God. • We value speaking in tongues as an exercise in humility and faith. • We value speaking in tongues because it is a step toward our spiritual gifts – I Corinthians 12:8-10.

  24. We Value Speaking in Tongues • We value speaking in tongues because it shows that a believer has completely submitted to the Spirit. • We value speaking in tongues because it lessens the gap between apostles and laypeople. • We value speaking in tongues because it reminds us that our fellowship with God is more spiritual than mental.

  25. How Do I Receive the Holy Spirit • Obey what Peter spoke to the crowd that was gathered on that day. Acts 2:38 says, “Repent and be baptized.” The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is an experience that is subsequent to salvation. • Believe what God promises about the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:38-39 says that this “promise is for you and your children and for all who are afar off – for all whom he Lord our God will call.”

  26. How Do I Receive the Holy Spirit • Ask in faith and receive this gift the Father is offering. Luke 11:13 says that God will give the Holy Spirit to those who simply ask. • By faith do your part. God enables you to speak with tongues, but you must do your part and yield your voice to God.
