Apollos and twelve tepid disciples - Audio

In Antioch Paul ministers to a Jew name Apollos, an eloquent, learned man who was on fire for the Lord, although he only knew the baptism of John. Aquila and Priscilla took him aside and taught him more accurately, after which he went on his own mission trip to Corinth to encourage other believers and to refute the Jews. In Ephesus, Paul comes across some disciples who had followed John and believed but had not yet been baptized by the Holy Spirit. They didn’t even know about the Holy Spirit so Paul prayed for them, the Holy Spirit came upon them and they spoke in tongues and prophesied. But you can’t stuff the HS in a box – He will come upon people as He wills. It may be with signs; it may not. It may happen at salvation; it may be later. It may be with the laying on of hands; it may not. It’s never the same but it is God’s desire that we all function in the Holy Spirit’s power.
