and I was wondering if that was separate from repentance because it seemed like all the references

to it, you know, they had believed for a while, they had already been walking with the Lord,

and then later Paul came to pray for them to receive

the baptism of the Holy Spirit. And it seems like that, it shows that in several parts of the Bible.

So I was just wondering what your thoughts were about that.

Hey, Sherry, thank you for that question. An excellent question. Of course, the language of the

baptism of the

holy spirit it's something that jesus spoke about in the gospels prior to his ascension into heaven

in the book of acts and then of course we have that scene on the day of pentecost in acts chapter two

where the baptism of the holy spirit is poured out upon the church. And there, there does seem to be this close

relationship to repentance. I mean, Peter, as he's preaching on the day of Pentecost in verse

38 of Acts chapter 2, said to them, repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of the Lord
