  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

When did Baptism by/with/in the Holy Spirit begin? Which part of the book of Acts?

Hm, I thought it was with King Saul ... trying to remember if the sons of Israel prophesied when they met God at the Exodus. Moses was a prophet, right? Aaron was a prophet?

Spirit baptism started in Acts 10

10:38) How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
10:39) And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:
10:40) Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;
10:41) Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.
10:42) And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.
10:43) To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
10:44) While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
10:45) And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost10:46) For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
10:47) Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?

The Spirit baptism being referred to here was for power to enter the Tribulation, and it was given to the believing jews, as this was the KINGDOM program which should have been the next thing on Israels calendar. GOD INTERRUPTED this program at this point in time with the MYSTERY. An unscheduled unprophesied event which was given to PAUL. Pauls MYSTERY program is where the baptism BY the HOLY SPIRIT, which places us in the Body of Christ, begins.
