The Holy Spirit in Acts according to Acts

Can you please repeat.... your words are a little muffled with that mask....

The Holy Spirit in Acts, gives Commandments (1:2), gives Power (1:8), speaks (1:16), fills Believers (2:4), is poured out (2:18), is received (2:33), is a Gift (2:38), discerns lies (5:3), can be tempted (5:9), witnesses (5:32), gives wisdom (6:3), gives Faith (6:5), can be resisted (7:51), gives direction (8:29), comforts (9:31), speaks (10:19), anoints (10:38), falls on people (11:15), baptizes (11:16), signifies (11:28), sends (13:4); and in John, convicts and reproves (16:8), guides into all Truth (16:13), glorifies Christ (16:14), etc.

These are only a few things the Spirit does.

You have plenty of theories that you cannot provide scripture for, which I and others have pointed out. Where is your scripture for saying the church is Israel for example? Where is your scripture for saying that the apostles gave Philip the gift of the Holy Spirit?

Correlation does not prove causation. I had a friend who talked about a number of mentally retarted people that went to his church when he was a child. He was in the Assemblies of God. The church reached out to these people. There are Pentecostal and Charismatic churches who have outreaches to drug addicts. It's an evangelistic movement, and some of the churches reach out to troubled people.

This is called building doctrine on assumption, not the teaching of scripture. The Bible doesn't say that it records every instance of tongues. The way it is addressed in I Corinthians is good evidence that not every individual case of speaking in tongues is specifically presented in scripture. They had been speaking in tongues, but detailed accounts are not recorded.

I don't know anyone on the forum who would think if the jailer was saved, he necessarily spoke in tongues. There are oneness Pentecostals who think that way. But 95% of Pentecostals do not believe that way, and it would be hard to find a Charismatic who thought that way.

The passage does not teach that this was the sole purpose and role of speaking in tongues among Gentiles. Such an assertion contradicts other scripture-- I Corinthians 12-14.
'Glossalalia' is an unfortunately and misleading term. It is made up of words used to describe speaking in tongues in scripture, but linguists use it for a pseudolanguage. Pentecostals historically believed in speaking in tongues as speaking in languages, and there were many accounts at Azusa street, and since, of people recognizing their own languages spoken 'in tongues.' The newsletter from Azusa Street had many testimonies of it as did other people who attended the revival meetings in their books and meetings.
'Evidence' is a sloppy explanation of 'sign' and it does not fit well in this context. The sign is that though God speaks through men of other tongues and other lips to this people, yet for all that, they will not hear him. It is fulfilled when they hear tongues and say 'ye are mad.'

There is no reference to cloven tongues of fire in Acts 10 or Acts 19.
I do not see 'baptism with the Holy Spirit' in the verses in this passage that mention the Holy Spirit.
I have requested politely for you to argue your case from scripture. If you can not, you should concede that you cannot.

Jesus did many other things not written in the book of John, so much that the world could not contain the books. The Bible tells us words Jesus said. It doesn't tell us everything He said.

But John the baptist was a prophet and he spoke his words to people other than the twelve apostles, though it is possible that all of them heard him. Some probably did, the ones who were his disciples before following Jesus.

But I wonder what motivates you to post such obviously misleading posts. Are you being disengenous or is your mind really that confused? It is clear that John's words were not just spoken to the twelve. He'd just addressed Pharisees and Saducees. All Judea had come out to hear him.

Hmm. I wonder why Paul quoted extra-biblical sources? How dare he do such a thing, and even on more than one occasion!

You must not add your ideas to scripture. It says;

This was not the 120. But the 12 only.

1“But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:” Acts 2:14 (KJV 1900)

Do they attract the mentally ill, or cause mental illness? I saw a Dr. of theology and Christian author go crazy and kill himself and over 100 people in a Pentecostal sect. And a local Pentecostal lady poured gas on herself and light a match, committing suicide. Something. Both of these were normal before these entanglements.

Faith comes from scripture according to Paul.

We add to scripture unless it says what you claim.

All believers have the gift of the Holy Spirit. None today have the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.

All believers have the gift of the Holy Spirit. Only the 12 Apostles had the Baptism originally. And later those whom they laid hands on according to scripture. Plus the Gentiles at Cornelius' house in that outpouring.

Why do you suppose the cloven tongues of fire were not present in those cases? No rushing wind either or it's presence was not recorded for our edification.
It is not spelled out but the evidence is clearly there.
Will you accept the scripture that I give you? Or will you dismiss scripture for Pentecostal doctrine and your personal experiences?

Acts 8 and Acts 19 are two of the scriptures which say that the apostles had the power (through Jesus, for it is His work alone to send the Comforter), to lay hands on those who would (through Jesus, for it is His work alone to send the Comforter) receive the Holy Spirit.

It is by receiving the word of Faith, which is in and through and by Jesus, that those who hear the Gospel and believe, will be washed and sealed by the Holy Spirit.
'
It isn't man's work...It's God's...and it is believing in Jesus that one believes in The Father who sent Him...for those who do not believe, call God a liar, by not believing in His Son.

John can't save, nor can anyone be baptized into John's death and be made a new creation in John....John was just a herald to the One to whom he pointed all men to...Chrst

mmmf?

you lie

All believers are baptized into CHRIST and sealed/covenanted/set apart to GOD through faith in the WORD of TRUTH...that is, the Gospel...Not all believers have the gift(s) of the Holy Spirit.
