It's just always seared in my mind. When I was about 17 or 18 years old, I was part of a local church in Ukraine. And there was another place, another church about 200 miles or so away. And I'm young, I'm willing. And they said, would you go with the other pastors and baptize people there? I'm like, sure, why not? I'll go. So we get there. And there is a group of new believers. Who will be baptized. The gospel is being preached." [11:18] (56 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)

2. "So here is what some would say. Okay. If through repentance they were added. Then this means the moment you repent and receive Jesus. You receive the Holy Spirit. 100% true. But I want to walk you through today the teaching portion of it. That in the scripture we see filling with the Holy Spirit. Or receiving the Holy Spirit at the conversion. And the baptism on the Holy Spirit are different. I want to compare this again. This is not theology. Just an illustration. That if we are here. We are all Americans. Right? Most of you. Right? Any illegals? No. Don't raise your hand. We are not going to report you. So we are Americans. Right? And we are comfortable here. But it's another thing to go to the Olympics. Right? And be an American. Hold an American flag. Are you following me? Now it's another thing to be an athlete representing America. Every Christian receives the Holy Spirit. Because it's only by the Holy Spirit you can know Jesus. It's only by the Holy Spirit you can convert and receive Jesus as Savior. But it's another thing to go and represent Christ in this world. You need power of the Holy Spirit. You need His presence. You need baptism in the Holy Spirit. And that's why God offers this next experience."

3. "Holy Spirit is a person. And he wants to have a fellowship with us daily. If you neglect it. If you grieve him. Reject him. Don't be surprised you don't see his power. And his presence in your life. He will not intrude on your life. So here's my experience. When I was 12 years old. And again. I grew up in a Pentecostal church. When it was just assumed. And only when I grew up older. I realized then. When we talk. Especially nonbelievers. When freedom came to our country. That I lived in. And we started preaching gospel. That it wasn't a normal thing. People ask us. You do what? You speak in tongues? Wow. Tell us about that. So I realized that it's not normal."

Because you will be filled with the Spirit of the Father. You are part of the family. It's our culture. You know like culture is in the air. The Spirit of God among those who worship same God. You could feel it. You don't maybe understand their language. Like we were a group. People from so many nations. Filled with the same Spirit. And worship same God. That's what we're talking about. That's the promise for everyone. The filling of the Holy Spirit is ongoing process. It's ongoing. And it is ours. Because we pray and seek to do God's will. We come into God's presence with praise.
