I share this with you ... so you may share it with others.
The Holy Spirit came “inside” of us when we were born again, right?
Jesus promised, “the Spirit of truth … will be in you.” (John 14:17)
Romans 8:11, 1 Corinthians 3:16, Gatatians 4:6, 2 Timothy 1:14, 1 John 3:24 and 4:12-16.
The Holy Spirit came “upon” God’s prophets in the Old Testament:
“and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward” (1 Samuel 16:13)
“Elisha said, ‘Please let a double portion of your spirit be upon me.’ ” (2 Kings 2:9)
“Then the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah” (2 Chronicles 24:20)
“… says the LORD … My Spirit who is upon you (Isaiah) …” (Isaiah 59:21)
“Then the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me, and said to me (Ezekiel) …” (Ezekiel 11:5)
Specifically concerning the Messiah:
“The Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him …” (Isaiah 11:2)
“Arise, shine; for your light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you.
… the LORD will arise over you, And His glory will be seen upon you.” (Isaiah 60:1-2)
Matthew reminded us of the prophecy in Isaiah 42:1
“Behold! My Servant whom I have chosen, My Beloved in whom My soul is well pleased!
I will put My Spirit upon Him, and He will declare justice to the Gentiles.” (Matthew 12:18)
John the Baptist testified:
“I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and He remained upon Him (Jesus).
I did not know Him, but He (Father God) 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.’ And I have seen and testified that this is the Son of God.” (John 1:32-34)
Gabriel promised Mary:
“The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you;
therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God.” (Luke 1:35)
Then shortly afterwards, Mary prophesied in Luke 1:46-55.
Jesus is only “called” the Son of God (everyone knows God never had any offspring).
Simeon was special:
“And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon, and this man was
just and devout, waiting for the Consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death
before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.” (Luke 2:25-26)
Jesus showed the way with his double baptism:
“When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water;
and (then) behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God
descending like a dove and alighting upon Him.” (Mt. 3:16, Mark 1:10, Luke 3:22, John 1:32)
Jesus testified in the synagogue:
“The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, because He has anointed Me …” (Luke 4:18)
These 7 passages reveal that the Holy Spirit falls “upon”
those who are receiving the baptism with the Holy Spirit.
“Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city
of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.” Luke 24:49
“… wait for the Promise of the Father …
… you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.
… you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you;
and you shall be witnesses to Me … to the end of the earth.” Acts 1:4-8
“When the Day of Pentecost had fully come … there appeared to them divided tongues,
as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit
and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.” Acts 2:1-4
“… when they (Peter & John) had come down, (they) prayed for them (Samarians)
that they might receive the Holy Spirit. For as yet He had fallen upon none of them.
They had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Then they laid hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.” Acts 8:15-17
“They had only been baptized” previously into the church and/or in water.
“… the Holy Spirit fell upon all those (Gentiles) who heard the word … the gift
of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also. For they (Peter and
his companions) heard them speak with tongues and magnify God.” Acts 10:44-46
“… the Holy Spirit fell upon them (Gentiles), as upon us (Jews) at the beginning.
Then I remembered the word of the Lord, how He said, ‘John indeed baptized with
water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’ … God gave them the same gift
as He gave us when we believed on the Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 11:15-17
This baptism can come when one is born again, or it can come later, but not before.
“… they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
And when Paul had laid hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came upon them,
and they spoke with tongues and prophesied …” Acts 19:5-6
Note: “the Promise” and “gift” are connected with the Holy Spirit baptism.
