'Last
Sermon of Jesus'
John 15:26 "But when the Helper comes,
whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who
proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me."
When we love the Lord by keeping His commands, He will give us the Spirit of truth, Who will abide in us forever (or baptism of the Holy Spirit) and then we will begin to testify for Him.
Filled with
the Holy Spirit
Act 8:15-17 who, when they had come down, prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit. For as yet He had fallen upon none of them. They had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then they laid hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
When we baptize (Mat 28:19-20) or pray for a brethren, he will receive the Holy Spirit as the seal of redemption or be filled with the Holy Spirit manifesting the gifts of the Holy Spirit (1Cor 12:7-11).
Baptism of
the Holy Spirit
John 14:15-17a "If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you."
When our Lord prays to the Father for those who love Him, they will be baptized by the Holy Spirit (the Helper or the Spirit of truth), Who will abide with them forever.
Act 1:5 "for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now."
