But John himself told the people to believe in the one who would come later, meaning Jesus.”5 As soon as they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 Then when Paul laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in other tongues[b] and prophesied. 7 There were about twelve men in all.ACTS 19:1-7WE’VE MADE THE HOLY SPIRIT OPTIONAL WHEN JESUS SAYS HE’S ESSENTIAL.“Being a disciple without receiving the Holy Spirit is like discovering you have a sickness, going to the doctor for a diagnosis, and leaving without the prescription.”14 But the person without the Spirit[f] does not receive what comes from God’s Spirit, because it is foolishness to him;THE HOLY SPIRIT HELPS ME SEEFor who knows a person’s thoughts[d] except his spirit within him? In the same way, no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who comes from God, so that we may understand what has been freely given to us by God.1 CORINTHIANS 2:11-12THE HOLY SPIRIT IS A GIFT“Do not leave Jerusalem until the Father sends you the gift he promised, as I told you before.
