In John 7:37,38, Jesus referred to the infilling of the Holy Spirit: “In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.  He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of… Read More »

If they had already received ALL that was available to them, Jesus would not have inst4ruct4d them to wait for the promise of the Holy Ghost.  Later on, in Paul’s travels to Ephesus, the book of Acts supports this point.  Paul asks some disciples in Acts 19:2, “Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye… Read More »
