Coming of the Holy Spirit was in Acts 2:1-4. ✝ Hebrews 10:16 "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;" KJV Bible. ✝ Jeremiah 31:33✝ Acts 2:3 "And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them." KJV Bible "But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people." KJV Bible "And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh: " KJV Bible "And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them." KJV Bible The Shavuot, in Greek, it is called Pentecost: It is a Jewish celebration of giving of the Torah(The Law of God). .. it was only fitting for the Spirit of God to be giving this day. God has promised to write his laws in our heart and mind through his Spirit in us. On this day the law was given on Mount Sinai which is a prototype of the real deal, which is, the law given in our heart by the Spirit of God in us. Those who has the Spirit of God will never struggle to love, because love is the fulfillment of the law of God. Those who has the Holy Spirit will find themselves doing somethings they thought they are incapable of doing before unconsciously. For instance, if you are hot tempered, you will find your self being less angry on things that normally makes you angry before without even giving it a thought. That is what God was saying, that he will write his laws in our heart through his Spirit in us. So the Holy Spirit cannot come a day before Shavuot/Pentecost. It is impossible. The scripture must be fulfilled. So John 20:22 is a PROLEPSIS where Jesus is speaking of something as though it was already present. ✝ Romans 4:17 "(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were." KJV Bible Jesus cannot give them the Holy Ghost before the Pentecost or Shavuot, it will be breaking the scripture. Jesus said it himself that except he goes away the Spirit of God wont come. ✝ John 16:7 "Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you." KJV Bible it is only when Jesus depart and is glorified, he will send his sweet, precious magnificent, aromatic Spirit to us. Glory to Jesus Christ now and forever. Amen. ✝ John 7:39 "(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)" KJV Bible Logically, it doesn't make sense that Jesus gave them his Spirit without Thomas "the until I see crooner." Because there was no where else we are made to read that he blew another Holy Ghost on Thomas. Was Thomas now excluded on the huge blessing of receiving the Holy Spirit? So, people loved by God beware of the doctrine of Pharisee. Little things like this makes a great deal of difference in our believe and ultimately in our salvation. So many have been made to believe that they have the Holy Spirit, why they have not. And why do they have not? Because they have not truly believe the right message. What is the right message? The message is this, in Jesus Christ you have been forgiven of all your sins and you are made right with God. This is the ABC of the Gospel. This should be your conviction. Hold on to this irreversible truth in your heart and mind and see, if you will not be hit like a volcano by the rushing sweet precious Spirit of Jesus Christ. You will experience it and you will come and talk about it. It will be a new beginning.... A whole new experience. The law of God which is love will be written in your heart and mind. You will begin to experience yourself doing the will of God unconsciously, without even you knowing or thinking of it. You will start acting like your Father in Heaven. This is what Jesus meant when he said, "We all must be begotten by the Spirit. ✝ John 3:5 "Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." KJV Bible The coming kingdom which has already begun is for those who has the Spirit of God within them because they will be able to live, love and behave like God. They will be able love one another because the Spirit of God is in them. Their Father's attitude will be there attitude. Just as Lion do not struggle to roar they will not struggle to love. just as a goat do not struggle to bleat, they will not struggle to love. Just as the old self do not struggle to sin... our new self in the Spirit will not struggle to live righteously forever. People loved by God this is the whole plan of God, and you can be part of it today.

You're right. But many people don't even know they have Him, hence they don't listen to His teachings. |

Youareforgiven:✝ Romans 5:5 "And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us." KJV Bible https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kjv.audio.bible We will be able to fulfill the whole law of God unconsciously without even knowing or seeing the written law, because His love is pour out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit. Hallelujah!!!! |

WeirdAlien:If you don't know you have Him, the Holy Spirit,then you don't have Him. The Holy Spirit is not someone you will have and you will not know. The Holy Spirit is too mighty to have and you will not know. Pls let them examine their believe, if they are really believing the ABC of the Gospel of life. |

Youareforgiven:From your words you sound like a Pentecostal. Yes, people receive the Holy Spirit and don't know. Because they've been erroneously told they have to speak in tongues at that moment. Or that after they get born again, they should get baptized, start living "holy" life, fast and pray before they receive. That quiet voice is in their hearts, gradually reforming them. But they don't recognise it. |

If the president of America is in your house won't you know? How much more, the Creator of all things, the Holy Ghost who is more powerful and mighty than the president of America will be in you and you will not know. Impossible!!! |

Youareforgiven:Haha. A Nigerian was once in the same room with GEJ in Abuja (Maitama) while he was president, and did not recognise him because he never thought the president could be in that building for any reason. Until his boss told him to greet GEJ properly before he realised his foolishness. Same way Dangote or Biden can be in your boss's office on Monday and you won't recognise him when you enter. When you least expect someone to be somewhere, you could mistake their identity. That's the point. Modified The Holy Ghost is not a compelling spirit. No gragra. He represents Jesus's virtues - including humility, patience, and wisdom. The fruits of the Spirit that Paul asked us to focus on - those are the virtues the Holy Spirit brings into your life. |

WeirdAlien:I am not a Pentecost, or any sort of tag you all tag yourself to. I am a son of God in Christ Jesus the Son. All that are the doctrine of the Pharisee that Jesus warns us all of. ✝ Matthew 16:12 "Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees." KJV Bible https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kjv.audio.bible You can't have the Spirit of Christ and not recognize it. Impossible!!! |

Youareforgiven:Him. Not "it". |

WeirdAlien:GEJ former president of Nigeria, was in a room with supposed strangers without his security men🤔🤔. Was GEJ covering his face🤔🤔🤔? His security details alone with rat him out. |
| Re: You Can Only Receive The Holy Spirit Once by Youareforgiven(op): 9:37pm On Aug 17, 2024 |
WeirdAlien:Thanks for the correction. |
| Re: You Can Only Receive The Holy Spirit Once by WeirdAlien: 10:05pm On Aug 17, 2024 |
Youareforgiven:I'm sorry I can't tell you details. But yeah, there are places where politicians meet privately and all security details stay outside. If you've been in your private office for the last two hours and your boss asks you to his office just across the hall, you might not notice the 4 men in suits at the secretary's entrance are DSS people. And if you didn't look out the window, you will not notice there is heavy police and army presence in the vicinity. I've been in the same building with a state governor before and I didn't know because I was busy in my office. And it was not a big building. |

WeirdAlien:✝ Acts 1:8 "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." KJV Bible https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kjv.audio.bible✝ Joel 2:28 "And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: " KJV Bible https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kjv.audio. I know the Holy Spirit is not a show of Spirit, but their is no way He will come in you and you will not know. All the time, the Spirit came upon people in the act of Apostles things happens. It is either they speak in tongues(Intelligent language)or they prophecy. The Holy Spirit did not come to us during Pentecost timid, while sneaking into us. |
| Re: You Can Only Receive The Holy Spirit Once by Youareforgiven(op): 10:50pm On Aug 17, 2024 |
WeirdAlien:I was specific. Emphasis on "your house"... I didn't say company, office or meeting hall. |

Youareforgiven:If Biden enters your house now and you see him clearly, and introduces himself as the President of the United States of America, you would think it's a prank. Why? Because society has made you to believe you're too unimportant for him to come visit you. So also because the wrong doctrines people have been taught over the centuries. They don't believe they received. Jesus said, He knocks the door of our hearts, if anyone opens, He will come in. The Holy Ghost will not sneak into your heart. He would come in when you open your heart. But because many think they must speak in tongues or prophesy immediately, they mistake His identity with "inspiration". They fail to recognize Him. PS The scriptures never said Paul spoke in tongues the day he received the Holy Spirit. Go confirm. Teachers assumed it. But he said later that he does speak in tongues. It doesn't mean it was from the first day. |

Youareforgiven:1. Acts 2 represents the the fulfilment of the Promise of the Holy Ghost which Christ talked about in Acts 1 :8. Peter explained that it is the awaited promise of Joel 2. This is the Baptism of the Holy Ghost given to people who are already born again. The Born again experience itself is the Work of the Holy Ghost in which case the Spirit of God comes to dwell within you and reborn your spirit. You become born again - born of the Spirit. This is the first operation of the Holy Ghost in your life. All those in the upper room already had the Born Again experience. Then, in the upper room, they had a SECOND EXPERIENCE - the baptismal experience. 2. Please separate the coming of the Holy Ghost from the New Covenant. The Baptism of the Holy Ghost is part of the new dispensation - the New Testament but it is not to be confused as The Law written in our hearts. The Law being written in our hearts symbolizes a life of the Spirit into which we have now being called which is enabled by the Born Again experience. KJV Bible. ✝ Jeremiah 31:33✝ Acts 2:3The Spirit comes WITHIN you at salvation (Born Again), and comes UPON you (Cloven tongues as of fire sat UPON them not INSIDE them) when you're Baptized (immersed) in the Holy Ghost. Baptism itself means to be IMMERSED. You don't get immersed into something that is put INSIDE you. To be immersed, you would be put inside something. KJV BibleJesus blowing on them was a prophetic action. Not the actual Baptism. No one received the Holy Ghost when Jesus blew on them. It was just the demonstration of a future event. That prophetic action was for all generations of Christians who would come into the world, including Thomas who was absent. The first fulfilment of that prophetic action came about on the day of Pentecost in Acts 2. "Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God."Being born again is the first introduction into the family of God by the Spirit of God. First event: You are born by the Spirit. The Spirit of God revives your spirit and prepares you for the Baptism. 2. In the second event, you're already born again just as the disciples were already born again before Acts 2. The Samaritans were already born again through Philip's preaching before the coming of Peter and John to lay hands on them in Acts 8. I was already born again before I received the Baptism of the Hoot Ghost in the year 2000. My friend was already born again before he received the Baptism of the Holy Ghost in 1999. If the Spirit of God is not already WITHIN you through the Born again experience, you cannot have Him come UPON you sitting on you as Cloven tongues of fire. You don't speak in tongues when you get Born Again but you have a new life by the Spirit of God. The law of God is now written in your heart at this point. You speak in tongues when you're baptized (immersed) in the Holy Ghost. You bubble out new tongues as a result of the IMMERSION (Baptism]. You're now empowered to live the law of God which was already written in your heart when you became Born Again. |

AntiChristian:What sort of spirit appeared to Muhammad in the cave and gave him the demonic inspiration after pinning him down three times (Sahih Bukhari 3) and the same Muhammad confessed to have been made victorious through terror? No wonder he is the patron of world’s terrorism including Boko Haram "Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "I have been sent with the shortest expressions bearing the widest meanings, and I have been made victorious with terror (cast in the hearts of the enemy), and while I was sleeping, the keys of the treasures of the world were brought to me and put in my hand." Abu Huraira added: Allah's Apostle has left the world and now you, people, are bringing out those treasures (i.e. the Prophet did not benefit by them)." -Sahih Bukhari 4:52:220

It is a very good thing to follow God's commandments and abide by His Words. The Holy Spirit makes the work easier for you. But you need to be born again, to have this Holy Spirit. Grace is what we pray for. |
