Acts 9:4-7

There are two baptisms given in the Scriptures. The “Baptism of Repentance” and the “Baptism of the Holy Spirit. 

We need to repent of our sins inviting Jesus into all areas of our life and then the power of the Holy Spirit will be able to accomplish that which we cannot. When Jesus eliminated the veil between God and man and He returned to His rightful place at the right hand of the Father it allowed the very Spirit of God to dwell in man.

Acts 19:4-7

⁵ When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. ⁶ And when Paul had laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied. ⁷ Now the men were about twelve in all.
