Theology - Baptism Of The Spirit Vs Baptism in The Spirit - By Randall Nelsen



Theology
The Baptism Of The Spirit Vs The Baptism in The Spirit
By Randall Nelsen

An important distinction must be made regarding Baptism. Being filled with the Spirit is not the same as the baptism of the Holy Spirit. The Baptism of the Spirit is when a person first accepts Christ and is born again; they receive Jesus Christ as Lord and savior and are Spiritually Baptized, or born again. A person cannot receive the Spirit of God until they accept Christ, and the exact moment that they accept him, the Holy spirit enters and indwells them. This is not the baptism of power or being filled the Holy spirit, it is the Baptism of rebirth and salvation where God in the form of the Holy Spirit first  indwells a person.
