The Spirit came upon the Jews at Pentecost, it came upon the Gentiles (Greeks & Romans - white people) in Caesarea when Peter went to Cornelius. There was a gap in the different nations receiving the Holy Spirit, first were the Jews and then the Gentiles. It was transferred from person to person via the laying of hands by the relevant people who had the powers to do so (Peter was the custodian of the Spirit, Acts 2,8,10 he gave people powers to baptise etc).

Jews according to their Law would never mix with Gentiles of any Race Matthew 10:5. Jews including Peter never laid hands on Gentiles and never baptized any. Paul was the custodian of the Holy Spirit for the Gentiles. When they laid their hands on people they would receive the spirit. So there needs to an unbroken chain of laying of hands to receive the Holy Spirit from Paul if you are a Gentile and Peter if you are a Jew.

In the bible no people from Africa have received the Holy Spirit, in fact a man of great faith who had made the journey to Jerusalem from Ethiopia (Acts 8} did not receive the Holy Spirit nor was he baptised with it. He was just put in a puddle and then returned home, even though his faith was greater than that of the Jews. (Phillip didnt have the power to baptize with the Holy spirit which is why Peter was called for.

Who is the Spirit? The Spirit of Truth, who tells us the truth. The Spirit that Speaks Gods words and not his own. The Spirit that speaks through the Prophets in accordance with 1 Corinthians 14. The Spirit that reminds us of Gods Law because we are forgetful. The Spirit that can be put to the test to determine its authenticity in 1 Corinthians 14:22-25, that should prophecy in our presence so that we may believe in accordance with the scriptures.

NB tongues is not a sign for unbelievers, tongues can be spoken by anyone. Prophecy is the real true test according 1 Corinthians 14.

Still a babe in Christ. Hopefully, I'm back on track permanently.

Amen! Praise the Lord. It will be permanent if it is not based on you or anything you can do but on God and what He has done in Christ Jesus.

Welcome home, dear brother.
