"I do believe there is a spiritual baptism because the bible tells me so. “Baptized with the Holy Spirit” However, baptism with the HS only happened twice and each one was for a very important specific purpose. "
You lost me with "only happened twice". Lets stick to what is written not how we personally feel. The fact Peter told them "“Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift" Backing up from there it was not just 11 waiting for that "promise" it was 120 and they were all saved before that. What already saved and had the holy spirit yet got something else on Pentecost? Some seem to believe once your saved you already get the gift of holy spirit. So before that moment backing up again Luke 11 13 "If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!"
Going forward "Have you received the Holy Spirit since you believed". I've heard, seen, watched those bothers and sisters praise GOD saying its gone does not happen any more. Yet here I am and millions just like me or us just like the 120. Were all saved believe in trust in Yeshua/Jesus the messiah who came in the flesh died on the cross for the worlds sin was buried rose the 3rd day is seated at the right hand of the Father the only way to the Father. Yeah what we did with (just believed) John 3:16-17 Rom 10 9-10 we did the same with luke 11 13.
See what's my choice here? That book or what some man/woman says about that book? I know my Father can't lie so by me asking according to luke 11 13 He said He will give the holy spirit to them that ask. Its a promise only to the believer. Yes I asked at age 15 and hello "Father give me the holy Spirit thank you Father in Jesus name". "Jesus I believe you came in the flesh and are sent from God and died for me .......oh like the song right now the words oooh I believe". Well I was just going to post that and the song said at the same exact moment the same words. Just luck huh.. haha no such thing as luck.
Hey you have the same book. I can't show anyone what I have seen. All I can say is don't go by the flesh feelings. Know if HE said it He will do it. All I can say is just believe. For me over time I found what He does for one He will do for all. What He gave and blesses us with ..oh you are so unique so special to Him... you are not like very one else. Just read that book and believe
