使徒行傳第一章第5節耶穌說明白了施洗約翰施洗和耶穌施洗的區別。施洗約翰是用水給人施洗,接受施洗約翰洗禮的人,隻是悔改了,即隻是知道了耶穌是救主,但是還沒有耶穌基督的靈,或者說還沒有受聖靈。但耶穌複活回到父身邊後,聖靈才賜下來,凡是耶穌的門徒就會受聖靈的洗。聖靈來自於天父或者說耶穌,因為父與子原為一。聖靈會讓門徒們想起耶穌的道和耶穌說過的話,為耶穌作見證,具有重生一個人的大能。
徒1:3 他受害之後、用許多的憑據、將自己活活的顯給使徒看、四十天之久向他們顯現、講說 神國的事。
To these he also showed himself alive after he suffered, by many proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days, and speaking about God's Kingdom.
徒1:4 耶穌和他們聚集的時候、囑咐他們說、不要離開耶路撒冷、要等候父所應許的、就是你們聽見我說過的。
Being assembled together with them, he commanded them, "Don't depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which you heard from me.
徒1:5 約翰是用水施洗.但不多幾日、你們要受聖靈的洗。
For John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now."
