Important Message about Receiving the Gifts of the Spirit through Baptism

I came across this message about the Christian's need to receive the Holy Ghost with fire, according to Acts 2:38 and Luke 3:16

Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.


Luke 3:16 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire


The Luke 3:16 shows why it is important to be baptized in Jesus' Name, as in no other way will you receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost.


If you cannot find a pastor to do such a baptism, then you best pray earnestly over the situation and God will show you what to do. Such a baptism will be evidenced in your receiving spiritual gifts of the Holy Spirit. Without the Holy Spirit, no one can enter the Kingdom of Heaven.


Here's the message, an old one as seen by the date, but should be helpful for those searching for the truth in this important step of faith through baptism in obedience to the Lord.

Brethren in our Lord Jesus Christ's Name,

Tarry here until you receive the promise to all of that believe. It
is His promise so be patient. It will come at His appointed place and
time. If you believe in your heart that it will come, that it will.
When we empty our corrupted vessel of old wine, then He can fill it
with the new wine Holy Ghost and fire at His appointed time. It is
all to do with the condition of our heart.

I went into a Pentecostal Holiness church in Washington, D.C.. I was
led in this day. I had been there before as a visitor, but this day I
was there for His purpose. So as I went inside and sat down, a young
preacher spake, Does anyone here this day want to receive the gift of
the Holy Ghost as according to Acts 2:38? A voice said, Get baptized
in my name. I looked around for who said that, and saw no one. Then,
this young pastor stated again, this is the last call, Does anyone
here want to be baptized according to Acts 2:38 in Jesus name? Then
this voice said, Get baptized in my name Jesus. So I got up and did
so. And we all were led to an upper room to have people lay hands
upon as written to bring forth the anointing and speaking in tongues.
Everyone joined together in twos, but I was left alone. So I said,
Lord, what be this? He said, Go to the bathroom, so I did. And He
said, Leave here now, so I did. Well, a few days later I was walking
down a road singing of my Lord Jesus, when I was shouting in tongues
for miles. It just flowed out. And then signs and wonders did follow
me each day. Mark 16:16 to 20.

And it all happened as it was written by the glory of our heavenly
Father. And it will happen to you. Be patient.

You dear brethren, it is your heart's desire to have an intimate
relationship with your heavenly Father. That is what he looks for,
not how much you know. King David had a very intimate relationship
with our Lord. That is why He chose him to be King above others. I
Samuel 16:1 to 13. You can see how Lord is no respecter of persons.
He raised up the least person to be king of His Land Israel. The
verse that revealed my desire was I Corinthians 2:4-5. Oh, to be able
to help people as Peter, John, Paul and others were able to. And He
anointed me as I had asked of Him in pure and simple faith. For it is
written, whatsoever you ask of my Father in my name, so it shall be
given unto you. As of I, it shall be given of you in His name Lord
Jesus.

His Servant,

Elijah
