Have you Received the Holy Ghost

Have you

received

the

Holy Ghost?

Acts 2:38 - Repent and be Baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and ye shall be filled with the Holy Ghost.

My Testimony of How Christ

Saved Me!

When I heard the Word of God and Repented of my sins, I accepted and invited Jesus Christ into my life as my personal Lord and Saviour. At that moment I received the infilling of The Holy Ghost and became a child of God. Hallelujah. My life has changed and I have not been the same since the day that I prayed for Jesus to forgive me and come into my life. Romans 10:17 - Faith comes by hearing and hearing by The Word of God. This is why it is important to become a member of The Household of Faith and to have a pastor who will feed you the Word of the Lord. It was ONLY through hearing the Word of the Lord from a Spirit filled Pastor did I have a mind to Repent and live for Christ. Now, I am saved from the wrath of God to come against those who reject the gospel. Thank you Lord! Romans 8:1 - There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus who walk not after the flesh but after The Spirit.

God gives the Holy Ghost to them that obey him! Acts 6:32

The Holy Ghost power which is the Spirit of Christ has come to dwell in the hearts and lives of everyone who believes and obeys the gospel. St. John 14:26-28. It is The Holy Ghost in our lives who helps us deny ungodliness/worldly lusts and live soberly, righteously and godly in this world, Titus 2:12.

The Lord desires for you to have a Pastor!

Jeremiah 3:15 - And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.

It is so important to have a Holy Spirit Filled Pastor. St.. John 3:34 - For whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God. Romans 10:17 - Faith comes by hearing and hearing by The Word of God. If one desires to receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost it is mandatory to have faith in Jesus and His Word in order to receive The Spirit of Christ referred to as The Holy Ghost. Ephesians 5:26 - That He (Jesus) might cleanse it (the church) by the washing of water by The Word. God uses The Word of God as spiritual water to cleanse our minds from the pollution's of the flesh and the world.

The New Birth today is Essential for Salvation

St.. John 3:3 - Except a man be born again he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God. To be Born Again is to have your mind reborn or renewed (changed) or transformed by the hearing of The Word of God and to receive Christ into your life by an act of faith in the Word of God! 1 Cor 3:16. - Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? When we accept Jesus Christ into our hearts we receive the baptism of The Holy Ghost who is Christ manifested in our lives. Hallelujah!

WHAT MUST I DO TO RECEIVE GOD'S HOLY GHOST?

ACTS 2:38 - REPENT AND BE BAPTIZED EVERYONE OF YOU IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS AND YOU SHALL BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST!

The Apostle Peter told the people that the first thing they needed to do was Repent of their sins. Peter wanted them to understand that if they were truly willing to turn from their evil ways that God would forgive them of All their sins. Isaiah 1:16, 18.

Repentance Defined

To turn from sin and dedicate oneself to the will of God according to His Word, (the bible). Acts 17:30-And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men everywhere to Repent

Repentance Symbolizes Death to Sin!

II Cor 5:17 - If any man be in Christ He is a new creature. Romans 12:2 - Be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Water baptism is your testimony of faith in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ- Be baptized in his name.

When we repent from our sins we need to BE BAPTIZED in the Name of Jesus Christ.

Acts 4:12 - Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Water baptism symbolizes Burial

Repent symbolizes death to sin, water baptism symbolizes burial, and to receive the Baptism of the Holy Ghost symbolizes resurrection to a Holy life through Jesus living IN our lives.

Water baptism is our open testimony before God and the church of our faith in the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Ro 6:3-6

No need for Baptism if one is unwilling to Repent - Nothing happens! St. Mark 1:4

We receive the remission of our sins when we Repent and turn to the Lord. There is no remission of sins when we choose not to change. St. Mark 1:4, St. Luke 13:3, Acts 17:30, Acts 26:20, Rev 2:5, Mk 1:15.
