Summary

The Bible turns out to use this term to mean something very different than what I was originally taught. The "baptism of the Spirit" is not a secondary experience that Christians have after salvation, it is something that happens to everyone who is saved, when they believe. This is just one question from a long interview I did for the moderators of the r/Bible subreddit. They asked their subreddit to send me a bunch of questions and I spent a lot of time preparing so that I would be able to offer the best answers I could. I'll be posting these answers as individual videos so keep an eye out for the rest in the set. I'm Mike Winger and my goal is to help you learn to think biblically about everything! I go live every Monday and Friday at 1pm. Monday is usually a vs by vs teaching and Friday is a live Q&A where I take questions from the live chat on YT.

0:00.0	So our next question comes from Neanderthalman97, and he says,
0:04.3	Hi, Mike. I've listened to your channel for a long time now.
0:06.5	I love the content. What is your view on the baptism of the spirit?
0:11.6	I've noticed there are quite a few different views among believers on this.
0:14.2	So I'm curious where you come down. Well, okay.

0:21.2	Okay. So I'm a coverage apple pastor. I love coverage apples.
0:24.9	I mostly agree with the typical stuff from calories, but I also ruffle feathers
0:29.2	because I'm open about things I disagree on why because I think they're secondary.
0:33.0	I think it's okay for us to disagree.
0:34.8	One of the things that I was taught was that baptism in the spirit is like an event.
0:39.7	Now, this may not even be what's typically taught now currently in most calories,
0:44.2	but this is what was taught, you know, back in the 90s, late 90s when I first started going to
0:47.8	Calgary. And I was taught that baptism in the spirit is an event that happens like after
0:52.8	salvation, you get saved. You're filled with the spirit like you're in dwelt,
0:56.0	but then baptism, that's a different term.
0:58.0	And it refers to like sort of the overflowing of the spirit.
1:01.2	So the so there being analogy like here's a cup of water in dwelt with the spirit
1:05.4	were like pour the water and then overflowing they pour the water and it would overflow
1:09.7	the cup. So the water is the spirit. You're the cup, you're filled with the spirit,
1:13.2	but when you're overflowing and it's gushing out of you,
1:15.5	that's a result of the baptism of the spirit.
