God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

1. To be filled with the Spirit is different from being baptized in the Spirit. There is one baptism, but multiple fillings. 2. In no New Testament text are we commanded to be baptized in the Holy Spirit. There is no appeal to do something in order to be baptized; no exhortation, no imperative. 3. On the other hand, we are commanded to be filled with the Holy Spirit (Eph. 5:18). 4. It is possible to be baptized in the Holy Spirit, to experience the permanent indwelling of the Holy Spirit, and yet not be filled with the Holy Spirit (e.g. the Corinthian believers). 5. To be “full of the Holy Spirit” is to reflect a maturity of character; it is the ideal condition of every believer [see Acts 6:3, 5; 7:55; 11:24]. To be “filled with the Holy Spirit” is to experience an anointing for power, purity, proclamation, and praise.
