In this brief sermon, the speaker recounts the Pentecost event described in Acts 2, emphasizing that the disciples were gathered in unity when "cloven tongues like as of fire" appeared and rested on each of them, filling them with the Holy Spirit. He highlights that this infilling caused them to speak in languages they had never learned, a phenomenon he presents as a consistent pattern throughout the New Testament. Citing Acts 8, he explains that after believers are saved and water‑baptized, the Holy Spirit follows, and when the Jerusalem apostles learned that Samaritans had been baptized but not yet received the Spirit, they were sent to Samaria to bring the Spirit’s empowerment. The overall message underscores the link between salvation, baptism, and the subsequent reception of the Holy Spirit, presented as a hallmark sign of God’s work in believers.

Chapters

And when they had come together, they were all with one accord in one place. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. Not some of them, it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost and began to speak with other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance. Amen. They were filled with the Holy Ghost, and the first thing that came out of their mouths was a language they had never learned before. From this day forward in the Bible, every single time you see this happen to a group of people or an individual, the same thing follows every single time. Acts chapter 8, he preaches Jesus, people get saved. They get water baptized. They have the Holy Spirit within because they are saved. But the apostles in Jerusalem hear what is happening. They send them to Samaria because the Samaritans had not yet received the Holy Spirit upon them.
