I. Two Ways To Receive The Holy Spirit
A. Resurrection Sunday (John 20:19–22)
1. Jesus showed them His hands and feet to convince them that it was the same body—
resurrected
2. He breathed on them to receive the Holy Spirit
a. Individually
b. They received immediately
c. They passed from Old Testament to New Testament salvation at that point
(1) Confession and belief needed for New Testament salvation (Rom. 10:9)
(2) At this point, however, they believed He was raised from the dead
d. “Receive holy breath”
3. At this point disciples receive divine, eternal resurrection life, but there was more:
a. Luke 24:48–49
b. The promise of the Father (Acts 1:4–5, 8)
B. Pentecostal Sunday (Acts 2:1–4)
1. Holy Spirit came down like a mighty wind and filled the house– Baptism is an
immersion
2. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit
3. The overflow: They began to speak with new languages (Matt. 12:34)
4. They received manifest supernatural power
a. Manifest: Everybody knew it happened
b. Supernatural
c. Power: They received boldness to witness
d. Insight into Scripture
e. Released to apostolic mission
f. All Jerusalem felt the impact
Resurrection Sunday Pentecost Sunday
Resurrected Christ Ascended/Glorified Christ
In-breathed Spirit Outpoured Spirit
The result: Life The result: Power
Not a question of either/or, but receiving both
II. Receive The Holy Spirit
A. From Acts 2 onward—refers to Pentecost Sunday experience
1. Acts 8:12, 14–17
2. Acts 10:47
3. Acts 19:2
B. How to receive the Holy Spirit
1. The seal/culmination of the baptism in Holy Spirit is speaking in tongues
a. It was the seal the apostles received
b. It was the seal they recognized in others
2. Ask for it (Luke 11:11–13)
3. It comes out of the belly (John 7:37–39)
4. A result seen and heard (Acts 2:32–33)
5. Steps:
a. Be thirsty
b. “Come unto Me” – Jesus
c. Drink – open your mouth and drink the invisible Spirit being poured out over you
– Breathe it in
d. Release the outflow
(1) Through the mouth
(2) In speech
(3) Luke 11:13
C. Objections:
1. That’s not real, you’re just doing it yourself – that’s right! You must speak!
2. “How do you know you have the right thing?” – God guarantees it (Luke 11:13)
