(Review of lesson 389)
LESSON # 390
5. The implications of the baptism of the Spirit are found in Galatians 3:26-28. Distinctions are removed.

Galatians 3:26-28 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27) For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28) There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

6. The baptism of the Spirit provides retroactive identification, Romans 6:1-5. This is the doctrinal basis for victory over the old sin nature.

Romans 6:1-5 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? 2) Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? 3) Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? 4) Therefore, we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 5) For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection,

7. The Baptism of the Holy Spirit began at Pentecost (Acts 2:1 & 4) and so did being filled with the H.S. and being indwelt with the H.S. and that is also when the Church Age began.

Acts 11:15-16 "And as I began to speak, the Ho-ly Spirit fell upon them, as upon us at the be-ginning. 16) "Then I remembered the word of the Lord, how He said, 'John indeed baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.'

8. The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is not something you experience, but the Scriptures confirm that it is very real.
