Framing Faith - 03 - An Additional Baptism
Hebrews 6:1 Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God.
“An Additional Baptism”
Acts 1:4 And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from Me; 5 for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”
The Holy Spirit is foundational
In order to be the witness God has called us to be, you need to receive the power that comes from the baptism of the Holy spirit.
John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever

Acts 5:3 Then Peter said, “Ananias, why have you let Satan fill your heart? You lied to the Holy Spirit, and you kept some of the money for yourself.
John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper,
another = allos = means one of the very same kind; same character; same everything; or nearly a duplicate.
God always operates in your life according to your will.
#3 The Holy Spirit Is My Helper
John 14:26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.
John 15:26 “But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me.
John 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you.
John 16:12 “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.
The Holy Spirit is our Comforter
The Holy Spirit is our Counselor
The Holy Spirit is our Advocate
The Holy Spirit is our Intercessor
The Holy Spirit is our Strengthener
The Holy Spirit is our Standby
Acts 8:14-16 “Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them, who, when they had come down, prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit. For as yet He had fallen upon none of them. They had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus”
Acts 19:1 And it happened, while Apollos was at Corinth, that Paul, having passed through the upper regions, came to Ephesus. And finding some disciples 2 he said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” So they said to him, “We have not so much as heard whether there is a Holy Spirit.”
