Only be baptized with the Holy Spirit
The baptism of the Holy Spirit is Jesus' request (command) and promise. The outpouring of the Holy Spirit appeared on the day of Pentecost. When the members of the early church gathered together in Mark's upper room according to Jesus' command and prayed at all, there was a sound like a rushing and strong wind, and we saw tongues of fire splitting apart like tongues of fire.
The Holy Spirit is a gift from God. God's gifts to us are limitless. I received the heaven and earth, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit as gifts. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God given as a gift to those who believe.
Simon tried to buy the Holy Spirit with money. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is receiving the Spirit of God that allows us to believe in God, receiving the Spirit of Christ that allows us to accept Jesus as our Savior, and putting on the Spirit of Light that shows that we are sinners. Therefore, the baptism of the Holy Spirit is to put on the Spirit that can transform me into a completely different person.
Without the Holy Spirit, we cannot see or enter the kingdom of God.
Only be filled with the Holy Spirit
The way to live according to the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and the work of the Holy Spirit is to become a witness of the resurrection to the ends of the earth.
Only bear the fruit of the Spirit
Those who have received the Holy Spirit as a gift must show fruit through a sanctified life.
It is to draw closer to God, to imitate God, and to live a life dedicated to God. Holiness, which is the meaning of pleasing God, is a gift from God that must happen only through the Holy Spirit. Only through the Holy Spirit can you be born again, and only with the Holy Spirit can you make a true confession.
The fruit of the Holy Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
