What Are We Saved For? - Audio

Two controversial topics crop up in Acts 8. We meet a sorcerer named Simon of whom Luke writes “believed” the Gospel, only to see that this sorcerer thinks he can buy the Holy Spirit’s power in a transaction from the Apostles. And then, another interesting happening in today’s text - while an entire city in Samaria. believes and is baptized, it wasn’t until Peter and John came down from Jerusalem to Samaria and laid their hands on them, then the Holy Spirit came upon their lives. This of course begs the question, is this still happening? Is it possible for anybody to come to saving faith in Christ, but not receive the Holy Spirit at the same time?
