This could be taken to mean what some Pentecostal believe, that there is a second baptism of the holy spirit, whereas most Christians believe that after the times of Acts, the spirit does indwell a person as soon as the believe and accept Christ. Can you clarify what you're saying? | |

For example in Acts 2,1-4 there is nothing about laying hands. Who could have laid his hands if Jesus has gone and nobody else had the Spirit yet? Also as I think this isn't about feelings, somebody received it or not, and if he received it there should be some signs of it, like speaking in tongues, that is the most common gift of the Spirit, according to these passages. | |

Telling us the order in which the apostles did things, which I believe important for us to follow. That is why I am looking for things that specifically say the laying of hands were not a necessary part of receiving the holy ghost. | |

| Feb 28, 2014 at 15:31 | comment | added | Nelson | Is there a difference between feeling the spirit and receiving the Spirit? Here is a link where I asked that question earlier. | |
| Feb 28, 2014 at 15:21 | comment | added | Nelson | I agree that there is both a baptism by water and the baptism by fire. Does not verse 6 give further evidence that the people only received the Holy Ghost after Paul had laid his hands on them? | |
