what are you saying here? what do you consider born again?
As we continue throughout the book of Acts we find more examples of believers who were already born again, believers who spoke in tongues after they were baptized in the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit was already in them as a result of having repented and believed in Christ and were regenerated. The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is a separate work of grace given to them to make them equipped to minister in the power of the Holy Ghost with signs following the preaching of the word. I also believe that we can receive infillings of the Holy Ghost for ministry as in the example Acts 4:31 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.
Where others see some kind of one-time instance I see a pattern in the book of Acts that I follow by faith. I am fully persuaded that my hermeneutics is sound and that He will say to me "well done" because I interpreted these examples in Acts as applicable to me and my faith for today.
I know that I am not saying anything that has not been said before, but I will keep throwing it out there, even at the risk of being repetitive. for the mutual edification of those that may stumble upon my humble comments.
