Question

were you immersed in water and did you speak in tongues? have you ever heard of the Hebrew Apostolics?

please tell me how old you were and details of you experience. I recieved the Holy Ghost March of this year

Answer 1

Haven't heard of Hebrew Apostolics, but I know that there are a number of groups that still preach the Acts chapter 2:38 experience. I was immersed in water and spoke in tongues and am thus born again by water and spirit according to John 3:5. This happend on the 18th of June 1989 at the Newcastle Revival Centre who in turn passed me on by a letter of recommendation to the chruch which is now called Christian Assemblies International (www.cai.org)

When I was about 13 years old I read 1 Corinthians 14. I was brought up as a prostestant, but did not really know God. I was really curious to find out what speaking in tongues and prophecies were, because the chapter sounded so exciting, seemed there was more to Chritstian faith than just sitting in a cold chruch mumbleling some songs trying to be a good person, I always wished that somehow I'd like to make contact with that God and that he'd intervene in my life. When I finally at age 16 heard someone speak in tongues I was so full of my old chruch doctrine that I shyly looked around in the assembly to find the Aboriginal person who I thought must have just prayed in their own tongue (this was in Australia). Though there were Americans, Indians and others I never found the Aborigine. I took heart and asked about it and discovered to my great joy that what I read in Corinthians is still alive. I went on a trip outback (the beautiful desert centre of Australia). On the bus I met a Finnish girl who had just received tho Holy Spirit prior to this travel. When I came back I got baptised and filled with the Holy Spirit on the same day. Now I know what Jesus Christ meant when he said, "Acts 1:8  But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth."

Answer 2

Yes I immersed in water often when I was working as a professional diver. I speak 4 languages like many people who were lucky to receive an education.
I have never heard of Hebrew Apostolics but I am not very well versed in middle eastern tales and legends.

Do use condoms when trying to receive the holy ghost for your protection.

Ramen !

Answer 3

Yes. Baptism by water and the in filling are two separate events. You receive the Baptism of the Holy Ghost the same way as you received Christ. I'm not familiar with Hebrew Apostolic.I can send you more it you'd like. There's really not enough room here to discuss it. There are many Pentecostal ministries on line that can send you help. Kenneth Hagin, Sr has some really good tracts on this.

Answer 4

Yes. I was immersed in water for my baptism. Speak in tongues - no. Just also to let you know that speaking in toungues is not evidence that one has received the Holy Ghost. Devils can also speak in tongues.

Answer 5

I'm sure there are those out there that believe it to be so. This does not make it true or not true, only their perceived experience.

Answer 6

i was baptized 3 times in my life, first as an infant in the catholic tradition. Secondly i was almost hijacked in a methodist church but never really joined the church and thirdly in the Mormon LDS church.
as a child I had a couple scary incidents in the spirit. One of them was an angel voice asking me When i was going to do my mission. i think i was 9 mayb ten. but just around that time I was sleeping in the camper that was owned by my grandfather but barrowed by my father so i can spend the summer at his house. that one night I had trouble falling asleep and after i stopped resisting, something happened that took several years to think about. I was lifted up out of my bed in what appeared or felt like a catapult. as I raised up into the sky! I later thought it was a coffin that i was being raised up in. when i came to a stop high up above me, i noticed that there was another spirit being at first it seemed to look like me! but then i came face to face with it and eye to eye. Did I see the spirit of God, satan or myself?
i came back down to earth in a reverse pattern and when i opened my eyes I was completely terrified. and ran around my fathers house outside 3 times.
Later on in life i layed on my bed and got up to answer the back door of the house where i saw a spirit being but waived him off and went back to lay down when the sound of the knock at the door happened again i had to FORCE air back into my lungs as i had stopped breathing. clearly I was have OBE.
Ok after that someone gave me a bible and i began to read and learn how to pray. One day after school an Angel of light appeared in my room and in MY MIND and filled both with light that was so much like being in heaven and being cleansed and purified I dont know what else to call it. Being born of the spirit happened in the power of the light for the first time.
Later on YET again i was reading a promise about receiving the Gift of the HOLY ghost. so much that i began praying for it as well and BEHOLD i saw a GREAT vision of the glory of the Sun and the son of righteousness that I walked inthe power of the spirit of God for a complete month before i made another transgression. the spirit promptly left me.
but then again I also had two other visions and was raised into heaven and ushered by the voice of an angel or the spirit as well, into the presense of jesus christ.
i think somewhere i had died to receive that vision, and of course there have been many situations where I thought i had been poisoned throughout my entire life where I shouldve died and yet woke up and started breathing, only because of the will of God. in fact ONE time a spirit came to me while I was suffering intensely and He said to me its time to go. I refused and said i didnt want to go (but i was thinking I had to go back to work) for i had layed down while at work. How many of these instances prove that I have received the Holy Ghost and have been born again of the spirit and born of water?

Answer 7
