MISC NOTES:

"The Spirit of holiness is the Holy Spirit in you to make you holy, and as you totally obey what His voice in you is saying, then you are being made holy. Furthermore, this process goes hand in hand with John 14:16, where we see seven functions of the Holy Spirit--- Comforter, Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby [Amplified Bible]. Those seven functions of the Holy Spirit illustrate how the Spirit of holiness operates when you comfort; when you counsel; when you help; when you intercede; when you stand in and defend; when you strengthen and encourage; when you stand by and are available to bring the divine intervention of God. Another way of looking at it is when you are operating in obedience to the Spirit of holiness as it flows in you, you won't be operating in your flesh or by your own carnal nature."  ---[Part 2-- An encounter with the Glory of God].

1. Jesus makes it clear that the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a separate experience from salvation and water Baptism.
Acts 2:38-39 "and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit
2. Jesus makes it clear that the Baptism is the Holy Spirit is a gift to you from the Father.
3. When you receive the Baptism in the Holy spirit, you receive a supernatural language and a supernatural power Acts 2:1-4
Acts19:1-6
Acts 4:33
Acts 5:12-16
4. The Bible gives several reasons why it is important for believers to pray in tongues
a. When you pray in tongues, you pray directly to God from you spirit. This is your very own personal prayer languages in which you can pray and communicate with God 1cor. 14:2
b. When you pray in tongues, you are spiritually edified and strengthened
1cor14:4
c. When you pray in tongues, you magnify and praise God from you spirit. acts10:46
John 4:23-24
5. Five steps to receiving the baptism in the holy sprit with evidence of speaking in tongues.
Okay here is the good part...how to receive it
5 steps
a. You must be born again John 3:3, Acts 2:38
b. You must believe that it is for you Acts 2:39 Acts 2:17-18
c. You must desire the gift of the Holy Spirit John7:37-39
D. You must ask for it Luke 11:13
e. You must do the speaking Acts 2:4 Isaiah 28:11-12
6. There is a difference between the Gift of tongues and a believer's personal prayer language 1cor.12:4,8-11
prayer language speak to God, speak mysteries, Edify yourself, no interpretation, sign to unbelievers
Gift of tongues speak to men, message is understood, Edifies the church, interpretation needed, for believers
