Acts 11:15-17 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

          15As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, just as He had fallen upon us at the beginning.
          16Then I remembered the word of the Lord, as He used to say, ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’
          17So if God gave them the same gift He gave us who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to hinder the work of God?”
