Acts 8:17 - Additional Comments

Do all Christians have the Holy Spirit?
* 1 Cor 3:16 "Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?"
* John 7:39 "But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive;"
* John 14:17 "the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you."
* Romans 8:9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.
* Romans 8:11 "But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you."
* 2 Tim 1:14 "That good thing which was committed to you, keep by the Holy Spirit who dwells in us."
Examples of how the Holy Spirit was received:
* The apostles received the Holy Spirit when Jesus breathed on them (John 20:22)
* Repent and be baptized (Acts 2:38) Note that some received the Holy Spirit before baptism, so it is not required (Acts 10:47)
* Laying on of hands (Acts 8:17, 19:6)
