Baptism of the Holy Spirit: Jesus is the Baptizer with Fire

Baptism of the Holy Spirit: Jesus is the Baptizer with Fire

Pat Holliday
0/5 ( ratings)
THE HOLY SPIRIT
In the Old Testament dispensation, God revealed Himself in His Holy Temple. In the New Testament dispensation while Jesus was on the earth, He revealed Himself in His Holy Son. In the present Holy Spirit dispensation which began with the day of Pentecost. God exposes Himself to His redeemed holy people, by the Person of the Ghost.
RUACH
A transliteration of the Greek word Parakletos is translated in the various English versions as Comforter, Counselor, Advocate, Intercessor, or Helper.
The Hebrew word for spirit is Ruach. In the Old Testament it frequently means “wind.” The Greek word equivalent pneuma is used in this sense only twice in the New Testament. These terms are also used to denote “breathe,” the vital stuff of life in default of which man ceases to live. In neither of these uses is it difficult to make an association with God. The wind was thought to be the unseen instrument of an unseen God; and, as God was viewed as the source of life, it was natural to associate spirit with life created by God. “Spirit” is also found with the meaning “soul” or “heart,” the seat of the intelligence and emotions, the principle of life which God imparts to man at his beginning and recalls from him at his death.
In the Old Testament the Spirit of God is viewed as having been sent forth for the creation and sustenance of human life and as endowing men with special abilities and gifts such as leadership, craftsmanship, and wisdom. The gift of prophecy, however, was considered the characteristic mark of the presence of the Spirit.
POWER OF GOD
In the old dispensation, God made His presence accessible in the Ark of the Covenant, rendered holy by His presence. In the days of Jesus on earth, God presented Himself through His precious and glorious Son, as the author says, “The power of God in Jesus in His body . . . whoever He touched or whatever touched Him in faith was made whole.
Purpose of John's Writing
“These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may believe on the name of the Son of God. 14And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us: 15And if we know that he hears us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we desired of him,” .
Jesus promised through the gift of the Holy Spirit, His spirit-filled holy people would be able do the same miracles that He performed and even greater works.
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father,” . 

Chapter One
The Promise
HOLY SPIRIT
Jesus told His disciples that He was going to leave them to go to His Father’s house but He promised to send another Comforter the Holy Spirit
“Nevertheless I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me; of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged, or I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
