He Will Baptize You With the Holy Spirit, Part 2 - Mark 1:6-8

The baptism with the Holy Spirit is a separate and distinct experience from regeneration, as promised by the Father and fulfilled on the day of Pentecost. This baptism empowers believers for service, as evidenced by the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the disciples, enabling them to be bold witnesses for Christ. The use of the Greek preposition “epi” in reference to this baptism signifies the Holy Spirit coming upon or overflowing, distinguishing it from the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit at conversion.
