God Baptizes With The Holy Spirit When a Person Places Faith in Jesus

~ John answered them all, “I baptize you with water. But one who is more powerful than I will come, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. ^Luke3:16

~ “You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ.” ^{Romans 8:9}

~ “He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.” ^{Titus 3:5-7}

~ Bob George
“And so Peter and John went to them as apostles, to verify that this was true. And so it says, When they arrived, they prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit. In other words, they had heard that Samaria had accepted the Word of God. But accepting the Word of God and putting faith in the Word of God, are two different things in which they had not done yet. So they prayed that they might receive the Holy Spirit. And if, again, you’re not born again, if you haven’t received the Holy Spirit of God. Romans tells us, in Romans, is a doctrinal book, not the book of Acts, don’t ever take doctrine out of the book of Acts. And anybody who has a brain in their head about theology will tell you that that’s that’s never been a doctrinal book. It’s only people who want to use that for their own bias, that they can use it as a doctrinal book, it’s not doctrinal at all. And so, the book of Romans, explaining what salvation is, if the Spirit of God does not live in you, you don’t, belong to Him. So there’s no way to be born again, apart from the indwelling Holy Spirit. So these people were not born again as yet. They had simply been baptized into the name of Jesus. In other words, they had accepted probably John the Baptist’s baptism, such as in another spot, but had never heard about the resurrection. And so when Peter and John placed their hands on them, they received the Holy Spirit. Now, they didn’t receive the Holy Spirit because Peter and John placed their hands on them. Nothing happens when you place your hands on somebody. Holy Spirit doesn’t get transferred from you into another person. It just means that a person as an example would grab your hand and pray together or put your arm around a person and pray together, putting placing your hands on someone doesn’t do anything for anybody. ”
