THE WORD OF TRUTH OF THE GOSPEL Colossians 1:5 ……. [My understanding in …(parenthesis)… Bible version used NKJV unless otherwise indicated] “DID YOU RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT WHEN YOU BELIEVED?” Acts 19:1b-5 1b And finding some disciples 2 he said to them “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” So they said to him, “We have not so much as heard whether there is a Holy Spirit.” …(unlike today, many had not heard of the Holy Spirit then, today most have heard but do not know or have not believed what the Holy Spirit is)… 3 And he said to them, “Into what then were you baptized?” So they said, “Into John’s baptism.” …(water baptism)… 4 Then Paul said, “John indeed baptized with a baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe on Him who would come after him, that is, on Christ …(the Word that was God)…Jesus ...(the Savior, only the word saves)…” 5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. …(and the name of the Lord Jesus is THEWORD OF GOD)…
