[MarkBsnr]

***This is backwards of what we see in the New Testament. First, you don’t see anywhere in the New Testament that the ‘church’ confirms the Holy Spirit. What you see is that the Holy Spirit is a gift to those that believe. ***

The Apostles received the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. Then, they were commanded to go and baptize - to effect the transfer of the Holy Spirit into the unbelievers.

***Obviously, the church is filled with falible humans who need a perfect comforter and guide. That comforter and guide is the Holy Spirit.***

Amen, brother. I agree with you absolutely.

[ScubieNuc]

The Apostles received the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. Then, they were commanded to go and baptize - to effect the transfer of the Holy Spirit into the unbelievers.

So are you saying that only the Apostles recieved the Holy Spirit?

Are you saying that unbelievers recieve the Holy Spirit?

Are you saying that the Holy Spirit comes from baptism and not belief?

Are you also implying that unless one is baptised by an Apostle, then the Holy Spirit hasn't been transfered?
