THE SEVENTY FUNCTIONS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT: PART TWENTY

Every born-again believer has the Holy Ghost in a measure through the new birth (John 3:5-8; John 4:14). But this is not the same as the baptism in the Holy Spirit — the enduement of power from on High that Jesus talked about in Luke 24:49, Acts 1:8, and John 7:38. Just because someone is born again doesn't mean he is filled with the Holy Spirit. There is the work of the Holy Spirit in the new birth, as we can see by the following scriptures. JOHN 3:5-8 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of THE SPIRIT, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is BORN OF THE SPIRIT is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be BORN AGAIN. 8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is BORN OF THE SPIRIT.
ROMANS 8:1616 THE SPIRIT itself I Himself ] beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God. From these scriptures, we can see the work of the Holy Ghost in the new birth. But there is also a work of the Holy Spirit that God desires to perform in the life of every believer subsequent or following the new-birth experience, and that is called the infilling of the Holy Spirit or the baptism in the Holy Spirit. That is what Jesus was talking about in Luke 24:49 and
Acts 1:8.
LUKE 24:49
49 And, behold, I send THE PROMISE OF MY FATHER upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be ENDUED WITH POWER FROM ON HIGH.
ACTS 1:8
8 But ye shall receive power, AFTER THAT THE HOLY GHOST IS COME UPON YOU: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
