Receiving the Holy Spirit
Acts 1:8 You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you and you will be my
witnesses in Jerusalem, in Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.
Acts 2:1 When the day of Pentecost had fully come they were all with one accord in one place and suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing, a mighty rushing wind and it filled the whole house where they were sitting and they there appeared to them divided tongues as a fire and one sat upon each of them and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit.
Acts 19:2-7 Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed? No, they replied, we haven’t even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.3 Well then what baptism did you experience? And they replied, the baptism of John. 4 And Paul said, John’s baptism called for repentance from sin, but John himself told the people to believe in the one who would come later, meaning Jesus. 5 As soon as they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied. 7 There were about twelve men in all.
John 16:6-7 Instead, you grieve because of what I’ve told you. 7 But in fact, it is best for you that I go away, because if I don’t, the Advocate won’t come. If I do go away, then I will send him to you.
