THE BAPTISM OF THE SPIRIT


MARK 16:14        Later He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen.
15     And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.
16     He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.
17     And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;
18     they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover."
19     So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.
20     And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen.


Acts 2: 1     When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

2       And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.
3       Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them.
4       And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. 
 

ACCORDING TO THE CHURCH OF GOD STATISTICS 40 % OF THE MEMBERS DON'T SPEAK IN TONGUES! WHAT KIND OF PENTECOSTALS ARE THESE PEOPLE?

AND VERY FEW OF THE MEMBERS OPERATE IN THE GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT! DEFINITELY IT'S NOT A TRUE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST WHERE LAYMAN LIKE STEPHEN DID Acts 6:
5 And the saying pleased the whole multitude. And they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, and Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas, a proselyte from Antioch,

8 And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and signs among the people.

 WHAT DO I EXPECT TO SEE IN EVERY PENTECOSTAL CHURCH IS ACTS 8:4 Therefore those who were scattered went everywhere preaching the word.
5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria and preached Christ to them.
6 And the multitudes with one accord heeded the things spoken by Philip, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.
7 For unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, came out of many who were possessed; and many who were paralyzed and lame were healed.
8 And there was great joy in that city.

One relevant point as to why this deleterious condition persist in our Pentecostal denominations in because there is no preaching at all on the baptism in the Holy Ghost. Consequently, we see no believers being endued with power from on high, and yet, to our amazement pastors, and Church workers are in wonder as to why we are in such a powerless state.

AGREE. THAT IS EXACTLY RIGHT.
WHY?
THE LEADERS DON'T WANT THE OTHERS TO BECOME "SPIRITUAL". ONLY THE LEADERS WANT TO APPEAR "SPIRITUAL". THEY HOLD THEM BACK FROM BECOMING WHO GOD CREATED THEM TO BE.
WALKING IN HIS HOLY SPIRIT AND OPERATING IN THE GIFTS OF HIS SPIRIT.
THE LEADERS WANT TO APPEAR TO BE MORE THAN THEY ARE.
THAT IS WHY THEY CAN SELL THEIR BOOKS. THEY PRETEND LIKE THEY HAVE THE SECRETS TO THE KINGDOM OF GOD.... THEM ALONE. SO, PEOPLE HUNGRY FOR GOD BUY THEIR CRAP AND THEY GET RICH.
IT IS ALL ABOUT GREED AND POWER.

FIVE FOLD MINISTRY

The word fivefold ministry is not mentioned anywhere in the bible, and just because you have the titles of pastor, prophet, evangelist, teacher, and apostle in front of your name, that does not mean you were sent, anointed, or ordained by GOD, because those who are truly sent, anointed, appointed, and ordained by GOD, are GOD'S chosen elect, they are not elected or chosen by men like many of your religious leaders are!
And every real man or woman of GOD who are sent, anointed, appointed, and ordained by GOD, operates in all the gifts of spirit, and they operate in whatever office GOD wants then to operate in at even given moment of time, because they are led by the spirit of GOD!
And if you were truly GOD'S chosen anointed, and you were truly sent by GOD, then you would have the mind of JESUS CHRIST, and you act like CHRIST JESUS!

(Philippians 2:5-7) Let this mind be in you, which was also in CHRIST JESUS:
Who, being in the form of GOD, thought it not robbery to be equal with GOD:
But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

(Romans 8:14) For as many as are led by the Spirit of GOD, they are the sons of GOD.

(John 3:5) JESUS SAYS, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of GOD.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Marvel not that I said unto you, You must be born again.
The wind blows where it wants to blow, and you hear the sound of the wind, but you cannot tell where the wind comes from, and where it goes: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

(ACTS 1:4-8) JESUS SAID And being assembled together with them, 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;for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now." Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, "Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?" And He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. 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."

We know that God hold no one back!! On the contrary he brings us higher.
God doesn't want church folk sitting around acting and pretending to be all spiritual. he want them being spiritual...
There is a difference
Could you imagine a church where all the members were full of power and moved in the Holy Spirit alone. Not any man’s directions. Wow
