THE BATISMO WITH OR THE HOLY SPIRIT
The Grace and Peace of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ! It is with great satisfaction that answer your questions. "[...] That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father's glory, give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the full knowledge it [...]" (Ef.1: 17).
I EVANGÉLICA MISSIONARY CHURCH IN JANGA. We Reformada faith, our Confession is the Belgian, 1561. We believe in the baptism with or in the Holy Spirit. What happens is that there was an apostasy of faith Reformada and many pastors are not concerned with the spiritual growth of the sheep, are more concerned with their wealth than with their spiritual welfare. They are giving straw, preaching a gospel fake corrupted with all sorts of heresies. And what the Bible really teaches about baptism with the Holy Spirit? Does the majority of pastors are committed to the Biblical truths? Or are more anxious to please men? Many say that the baptism with the Holy Spirit is a second work of grace and has been accompanied by speaking in foreign languages. This was happening in the church of Corinth where a group that spoke in languages and for that reason we felt more spiritual than the others. But Paul is directed to them as kindred, children in the faith. But the apostle to correct the error doctrinal states that all were baptized in the same spirit: "Well, in one spirit, we were all baptized into one body, whether Jewish, or Greek, or slaves, or free. And everyone was given a drink of one Spirit "(1Co.12: 13).
Clearly, who is not baptized with the Holy Spirit is not saved, or has not been achieved by saving grace. The baptism is the pledge, the seal, ensuring secure our salvation (see Ef.1 :13-14; 4:30).
The Pentecost was a unique event, the Spirit was poured, as prophecy (Joel 2:28; Isaias 32:15), and remains today in the church. All that are being incorporated into the body of Christ are baptized. The baptism is a promise and a promise is not something you go seek and strive to achieve, is something unlike what happens in time in order that the Holy Spirit has been granted, charged (Rm.5: 5), That means ultimately He is spilled without that we can resist its miraculous operation, says the sacred Scriptures.
The Pentecostal doctrine is that the baptism with the Holy Spirit happens after that the person becomes, and if there is an intense look. This baptism is not true with all believers, according to that doctrine, only with the more spiritual, and will be accompanied by speaking in foreign languages so that becomes evident that there was really the baptism, which is antibíblico. The Pentecostal church today is composed of those who are and those who are not baptized with the Holy Spirit. But the Bible says that everyone is baptized in the same spirit, and not all speak in tongues (see 1Co.12; 28-31). Analisemos therefore a very important text that irar clarify many doubts: "In the case of someone talking in another language, which are not more than two or at most three, and this succession, and there are those who interpret. But no interpreter, be silent in church [...]". The apostle Paul not prohibited, but the church doutrinou to eliminate such practices. Why? First, the church was composed of believers from the Judaism and paganismo. The language they were speaking in Corinth were used in temples pagans. By entering in a state of estase (in temples pagans) spoke in many languages, which in fact were languages of demons. People who saw everything were fascinated believing that they were in contact with the gods. These events gave a spiritual emphasis and many brought into the church that cultural baggage. However, Paulo corrects a flaw doutrinando them in order to eliminate those events that brought growth not the church. When he says that talk one at a time and no more than three and if you interpret those, it was that those who had not interpret.
Does today is not the same, or even worse? When entering into a church and see all speaking in tongues, which is the custom of Pentecostais, will be that God is working there? Is it a move of the Spirit as some states? Does the Holy Spirit is in to what is established in His Word? Of course not! If the bible says talk at most three and see everyone talking at once with certainty is not the Holy Spirit of God, for He will not laban which is established in His Word. Others speak and not interpreted, it is God that is operating? No! And what is what? They are works of meat as the apostle Paul: "I, however, brothers, you could not speak as spiritual, but as a carnal, as the children in Christ" (1Co.3: 1). And what is more aggravating is that the Pentecostalismo divided the Body of Christ, and what does this is heresy. Let us see what it says Titus 3:10: "Evita man faccioso, after admoestá it first and second time, because you know that this person is perverted and pecando lives, and by itself is doomed" (my bold). All this division has happened in the church because of the Pentecostal movement relate to this verse.
