The Gospel of John (86): The Baptism of the Holy Spirit

From John 1:32-34, Rev. Paul van Engelenhoven proclaims that Jesus came to save us from our sins and empower us to walk in that salvation and that the baptism of the Holy Spirit is the means by which we can know and serve God. In this sermon, he answers three questions: What is the Baptism of the Holy Spirit? How many Baptisms of the Holy Spirit are there? How can I be filled with the Holy Spirit?

“The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, ‘Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!’…And John bore witness: ‘I saw the Spirit descend from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him. I myself did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me, “He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, this is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.” And I have seen and have borne witness that this is the Son of God.'” (John 1:29, 32-34)
