The Disciples
Disciples: pupils, students, followers.
If you can make it....it’s not that special.
Get people to follow your teaching.
Lead people to repentance.
Example: They believe there is no God.
You lead them from where they are to where you are.
Paul’s approach to the Jews was completely different than his approach to the gentiles in Athens.
God cannot ask a question to which he doesn’t know the answer.
Adam- Genesis 3:9 Where are you?
He needed Adam to realize positionally where he was with God.
Paul is not God.
Paul may have suspected, but didn’t know if they had received the Holy Spirit.
Paul asks
Baptism: immersion
Immersion language training.
Paul was making a play on words.
John was changing peoples minds.
Jesus was changing peoples hearts.
In research for this message I like to challenge what I think I know.
I like to intellectually and spiritually test what I think I know.
One teachings I ran across used this text as a proof text for two, what I believe are false doctrines.
In order for us to receive the Holy Spirit a Overseer (Deacon) must lay hands on you.
This example
The Samaritans
If you haven’t received the Gift of Tongues, then you haven’t received the Holy Spirit
This example
Day of Pentecost.
Here is our tendency: especially with teaching we like:
We take the rare and make it normative.
Example: In Matthew 8:8 a Centurion asked Jesus to heal his servant.
Jesus healed him and commented on the Centurion’s faith.
Therefore, if you have faith, then God will heal everyone you asked to be healed.
How do you know if you have received the Holy Spirit?
1. Tongues: It was an outward manifestation: It was a sign for others.
It is a miracle: A suspension of the natural laws.
It was a foreign language.
1: Promise
2: Transformation:
3: Increase in the Gifts of the Spirit
4: Leading of the Holy Spirit
