The Gospel - Lesson 10 | The Holy Spirit & The Believer Pt. 4 | Grow In Grace

In this episode, we examine the significance of baptism in relation to the Holy Spirit, noting that the English term "baptized" is a transliteration of the Greek 'baptizo'. This term is used both ceremonially for water baptism and mechanically to denote God's power. 'Baptizo' signifies placing a person into a new union, not just with water. Baptism by the Holy Spirit represents the believer's union with Christ at salvation, shifting their allegiance from Satan to Christ. John the Baptist emphasized genuine salvation before baptism. There are two interpretations of baptism: water baptism by John and spiritual baptism by the Holy Spirit. The belief that speaking in tongues is proof of the Holy Spirit is refuted, emphasizing faith in Jesus Christ as genuine evidence of salvation. The Holy Spirit indwells believers at the point of belief, and while continuous filling is encouraged, there's no scriptural mandate for re-baptism. Acts is viewed as a historical narrative, not a prescriptive guide, documenting the early church's transition. The gift of tongues is intended for communication and as a sign to unbelievers, not as the primary evidence of salvation.
