Call-In Classic Christianity Radio – Bob George P804 (01-27-23)

You Are Baptized by the Holy Spirit Into The Body of Christ When You Place Faith in Jesus

~ “For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.” ^{Galatians 3:27}

~ Caller 2
My question is, what is the baptism of the Holy Ghost? And how do I know if I have received the baptism of the Holy Ghost?

Bob George 8:15
Well, if you’re born again, you’ve been given everything that you need for life and godliness. So I would assume that you would be able to discern that that means that you received the Holy Spirit. And that’s exactly what it is. It’s not the baptism of the Holy Spirit. It’s baptized by the Holy Spirit, into the body of Christ. At the point of spiritual birth, Roger, you are indwelt by the Holy Spirit of God, if and if the Spirit of God doesn’t live in you, you don’t belong to Him. So there’s no such thing as being born again today. And receiving the Spirit tomorrow. That’s an impossibility. It’s taught, but it’s an impossibility. You cannot be born again, apart from being born again of the Spirit, the Spirit of God coming to live in you. At the moment that that occurs. The Spirit then places you into the body of Christ, he is the head and we’re the body. So it’s not the baptism of the Holy Spirit. It’s being baptized by the Holy Spirit into the body of Christ that happens to all people. Immediately at spiritual birth. There’s only one baptism, and that is the baptism where the Spirit of God baptize you into the body of Christ.

Bob George 7:48
Want to go to Crockett California listing on a KDIA Roger, you’re on the air.

Caller 2 7:56
Good afternoon, sir. How you doing today?

Bob George 7:58
Doing good. Thank you, Roger.

Caller 2 8:00
My question is, what is the baptism of the Holy Ghost? And how do I know if I have received the baptism of the Holy Ghost?

Bob George 8:13
Are you born again?

Caller 2 8:15
Yes, sir.

Caller 2 9:22
And that happens when you become a believer

Bob George 9:25
at the moment of salvation. Yes, sir.

Caller 2 9:28
And there, there are some doctrines out there that would say that there’s a second or third work of great

Bob George 9:37
Yeah, I’m aware of all of those, but they’re all wrong.

Caller 2 9:42
I’ve heard I’ve heard. It’s been a while.

Bob George 9:44
Well, again, you don’t have to be a brain scientist to figure out that you couldn’t be born again apart from the Spirit of God coming to live in you. So how in the world do you are you born again by the Spirit, and then receive the Spirit later? Yeah, it sounds to me that anybody ought to be able to figure that out. Okay,

Caller 2 10:03
Well there were I’ve been attending any my local church, and that’s something that they teach. And it’s kind of bothered me. And, you know, I don’t I don’t really agree with.

Bob George 10:23
Well, I’ll guarantee you, my friend from knowing. And again, I’ve been around for a lot of years. But my brother, and I can tell you that that is the least. I mean, that is bad. But that is the least of the bad teaching. There is a lot of total legalistic teaching going on, in the assemblies that teach that they teach prosperity gospel. The Bible says that anyone who teaches that godliness is a means to financial gain is a man of distorted mind. And so I’m going to believe what the Bible says instead of what is going on in so called modern day Christianity, which is, I believe, nonsense to God. God wants us to walk by faith, and he wants us to love one another. And, and he wants us to have a unity of spirit. And you cannot have that when you’re going off and interpreting scripture, in the energy of your own flesh. Or interpreting scripture in line with your experience, rather than what the Spirit says, we have one source of truth. And that’s the Bible, not our experience. So I hope that helps my friend. Thank you for your call.
