How to Receive the Holy Spirit

    New Believers > How to Receive the Holy Spirit

​​By Don Krow  

Mark 16:15-16How to Receive the Holy Spirit is known as the Great Commission. Jesus said to His disciples, “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.” In Acts 8, verse 5 and 12, we see how this commission was worked out through the preaching of Philip in Samaria. “Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them…But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.” To read the full lesson text click here.
