Acts 2:37-38, “Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.”

Doesn’t this prove that the Holy Spirit directly and miraculously dwells within Christians as our personal gift today? KEY---What is the “gift of the Holy Spirit”?

Acts 2:38 GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT Many people MISUNDERSTAND THE GIFT FOR TODAY

GIFT OF THE INDWELLING HOLY SPIRIT There is a lot of confusion created – because people do not distinguish between 1)The HOLY SPIRIT Himself - as the free gift DOREA of God = a gift God gives to EVERY Christian. Acts 2:38 2)The GIFTS CHARISMATA which the Holy Spirit Himself GIVES in the New Testament. – 1 Corinthians 12:11; AS HE WILLS

GIFT OF THE INDWELLING HOLY SPIRIT 1)The HOLY SPIRIT Himself - as the free gift DOREA of God = a gift God gives to EVERY Christian. Acts 2:38 It does NOT imply the POWER to work miracles, and it is NOT necessary, in any passage where the GIFT is referred to, to imply such powers.

GIFT OF THE INDWELLING HOLY SPIRIT 2) The GIFTS CHARISMATA which the Holy Spirit Himself GIVES in the New Testament 1 Corinthians 12:11; AS HE WILLS That the CHARISMATA are miraculous powers, is proved by Acts 10:44; Romans 12:6; 1 Timothy 4:14; 2 Timothy 1:6; as well as 1 Corinthians 12:4, 9,28,30,31.

Acts 2:39,41, (cont.),“For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call… Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.”

Ephesians 1:13-14, “…ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our in- heritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.”

The Indwelling of the Holy Spirit is: A Gift from God (I and the Father will dwell in you) A Gift of eternal salvation A Gift that dwells within us when we have the right relationship with God.

No importance or value can be found in any religion that is not guided and upheld by the Holy Spirit “Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And uphold me by Your generous Spirit” (Psalm 51:12) “...and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty” (2 Corinthians 3:17)

1. HOLY SPIRIT BAPTISM ONLY OCCURRED ONCE IN HISTORY (ACTS 2:4) TODAY THERE IS ONLY “ONE BAPTISM” –WATER EPHESIANS 4:5; 5:26; ACTS 19:1-5; 10:47, 48) 2. LAYING ON OF THE APOSTLES HANDS (ACTS 8:18; 19:6) NO APOSTLES TODAY 3. THE INDWELLING OUR SUBJECT

IS IT SOMETHING TO BE SHROUDED IN MYSTERY? IS IT SOMETHING THAT MIRACULOUSLY HAPPENS TO SOMEONE? IS IT SOMETHING THAT TAKES CONTROL OVER OUR BODIES? IF OUR LIVES ARE NOT ENVELOPED IN A FLOOD OF EMOTIONS, DOES IT MEAN THAT WE DON’T HAVE THE SPIRIT DWELLING IN US?

Romans 6:23, “…the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Ephesians 2:8-9, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”
