The baptism of the Holy Spirit

Dr. Roberto Miranda
(Audio: Español)

RESUMEN: In Acts 19, the Apostle Paul meets with 12 disciples who claimed to be Christians but had not received the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Paul asked them if they had received the Holy Spirit, and they replied that they didn't even know there was such a thing. Paul then asks them how they were baptized, and they said it was the baptism of John. Paul explains that John baptized with water but that Jesus would baptize with the Holy Spirit and fire. Paul then prays for them, and they receive the Holy Spirit and start prophesying and speaking in tongues. The author emphasizes the importance of seeking a fresh anointing of the Holy Spirit in our Christian lives and not settling for routine. The Holy Spirit is the gasoline that moves our faith apparatus, and we need it to preach the Gospel and resist the attacks of the enemy.

Receiving the Holy Spirit has an external manifestation, such as crying, laughter, joy, raising hands, dancing, prophesying, or speaking in tongues. The Holy Spirit is energy that connects with the energy of our nervous system and spirit, resulting in a reaction that externalizes what is happening in different ways. We should not settle for being a programmatic church, but rather a church that stirs up the waters of the Holy Spirit and allows the movement of the Spirit in our lives. It is not with a sword, army, money, program, physical plant, or effective administration, but with the power of the Holy Spirit that the construction of the church happens. We give all the glory and honor to God and invite Him to continue working in our lives and in our meetings.


In Acts 19, if you don't have your Bible, listen to me, it says, “It came to pass that while Apollo, one of the Apostles, was in Corinth, Paul after going through the upper regions, came to Ephesus, a city in Asia Minor, and finding to certain disciples, the Apostle Paul said 'did you receive the holy spirit when you believed?'

It's a question. Look at the question that the Apostle Paul asked these believers that he met in that city. He asked them, did you receive the holy spirit when you believed?
