The Forgotten God September 19, 2010

Hello everybody!!! Wow. I haven’t written in nearly a year (11 months), but now I’m back. I’ve been reading Forgotten God by Francis Chan for my Bible study, and I must say, it’s been very interesting. It’s all about the the Holy Spirit. I was reading in Acts for insight on the Holy Spirit and I noticed something in Acts 8:9-17. The Samaritans had just accepted Christ, but it says “they had simply been baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus” and they didn’t have the Spirit. When Peter and John laid their hands on them and prayed for them, then they received the Spirit. So here’s the question(s): do I have the Spirit? Do you have the Spirit? How can we know? And (surprise!) I DON’T know the answer! What do you think?
