Acts 2:1-4

• The Holy Spirit Comes At Pentecost1 When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.

2 Kinds of Baptism

• 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.”

• John 1:33 I did not know Him, but He who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘Upon whom you see the Spirit descending, and remaining on Him, this is He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’

• 2 kinds of baptism:1. Water Baptism/John’s = Baptism of Repentance2. Holy Spirit Baptism = Baptism of Power

Baptism of Holy Spirit

• Dunamis (Greek δυναμις) = power/force & authority

• Root of english words: dynamic, dynamite, dynamo

• God has given us “dunamis”/power & authority to live victorious life.

• Power alone is not enough, you need the authority.

• We receive “dunamis” through the infilling of Holy Spirit.

• The sign of baptism of Holy Spirit is speaking in tongues.

Bibilical Basis of Speaking in Tongue• Jesus said so:

Mark 16: 17-18 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.”

• Day of PentecostActs 2:4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them

Bibilical Basis of Speaking in Tongue• The Samaritans

Acts 8:14-18 14When the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them. 15When they arrived, they prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit, 16because the Holy Spirit had not yet come upon any of them; they had simply been baptized into[a] the name of the Lord Jesus. 17Then Peter and John placed their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.18 When Simon saw that the Spirit was given at the laying on of the apostles' hands, he offered them money

Bibilical Basis of Speaking in Tongue• Cornelius’ Family & Friends (The Gentiles)

Acts 10:44-46 44While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came on all who heard the message. 45The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles. 46For they heard them speaking in tongues and praising God.

Bibilical Basis of Speaking in Tongue• The Ephesians

1While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul took the road through the interior and arrived at Ephesus. There he found some disciples 2and asked them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" They answered, "No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit."3So Paul asked, "Then what baptism did you receive?" "John's baptism," they replied.4Paul said, "John's baptism was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the one coming after him, that is, in Jesus." 5On hearing this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus. 6When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied.

Be Filled with Holy Spirit

Ephesians 5:18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit.

3 reasons why we need to be filled with the Holy Spirit:

1. The Power to Witness2. The Power to Overcome Weakness3. The Power to Effective Pray

Page 11: Holy Spirit

1. The Power to Witness

• 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.”

• Huge impact in Peter & the disciples within 50 days after they denied & deserted Jesus.

• God’s calling for Christians is to GO and MAKE DISCIPLE OF ALL NATIONS.

• Christians will never be fulfilled without fulfilling the Great Commission.

2. The Power to Overcome Weakness• Romans 8:26-27

26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will.

• 1 Corinthians 14:4a

He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself,…• The Spirit helps us in overcoming illness (physical &

emotional), sins, bad habits, difficult situation in our life (family, marriage, work, school).

Page 13: Holy Spirit

3. The Power to Pray Effectively• Romans 8:26-27

26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will.

• Praying that is effective is praying according to God’s will.

How to receive the baptism of Holy Spirit?1. Ask• Luke 11: 9So I say to you, Ask and keep on

asking and it shall be given you;…13If you then, evil as you are, know how to give good gifts [gifts that are to their advantage] to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask and continue to ask Him!

How to receive the baptism of Holy Spirit?2. Accept with Faith

Galatians 3:1414To the end that through [their receiving] Christ Jesus, the blessing [promised] to Abraham might come upon the Gentiles, so that we through faith might [all] receive [the realization of] the promise of the [Holy] Spirit.

Page 16: Holy Spirit

How to receive the baptism of Holy Spirit?3. Act

James 2:17 17In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. (NIV)17 So also faith, if it does not have works (deeds and actions of obedience to back it up), by itself is destitute of power (inoperative, dead). (AMP)Acts 2:44 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.
