Philip was a great evangelist in the early church. He left Jerusalem after persecution broke out and started preaching about Jesus in Samaria. Many people believed and accepted Jesus as Lord. Peter and John heard about this outpouring and went to visit. They found a bunch of new believers in Samaria. But Philip had not told them about the Holy Spirit. In Acts Chapter 8 we find that ‘Peter and John placed their hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit’. Wow! They experienced not only salvation through Christ but now a new powerful dimension and baptism called the Holy Spirit.
If you have experienced salvation by accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, you too can receive the Holy Spirit into your life. If you have questions about the Holy Spirit today, come visit our church on Sunday and we’ll pray with you for this incredible gift promised by Jesus.
