Appearing before those who had received the remission of their sins, the Lord told them to receive the Holy Spirit. People who have received the remission of sins are those who believe that Jesus came to this world and took all the sins of the world upon His own body through His baptism, died on the Cross because of those sins, was resurrected in three days, and then ascended to the Kingdom of Heaven. Like this, Jesus took on all the sins that we commit in this world - sins due to our weakness, sins due to our arrogance, sins that we commit because we are fleshly and all the sins that we commit with our thoughts or acts. Truly He was bruised because of our transgressions. Our Lord had even taken on all those sins we will be committing in the future. Then He died on the Cross ‘once’ and resurrected from the dead ‘once.’ He thus through this saved us completely. And to those of us who believe in this, the Holy Spirit comes. The Holy Spirit does not come just because you gather together and make a terrible socalled holy noise. Furthermore, He will not come just because you speak in tongues. Do you understand this? The Holy Spirit comes only to those who realize the gospel of the water and the Spirit and believe in the resurrection of our Lord.

But why do you think God gave the tongues to certain people? In Korean, ‘tongues’ means a regional dialect. In other words, it is a patois. God had given this special gift of speaking in tongues so that the disciples might use it in spreading the gospel to people from other regions who were visitors. And the Book of Acts tells us clearly that when the disciples of Jesus spoke in tongues, the multitude came together, and were confused because everyone heard them speak in his own language (Acts 2:6). After all, speaking in tongues was a small miracle used for the purpose of spreading the gospel.

They cannot be considered to have received the Holy Spirit just because they were speaking in tongues on their own. Go to any place where they claim to show this so-called miracle of speaking in tongues. You cannot imagine just how tumultuous they are. Shouting out incomprehensible words from the top of their voices, they claim that they are speaking in tongues.

However, people who believe in Jesus by having truly attained the enlightenment in the gospel of the water and the Spirit aren’t that loud. It is because even if we don’t shout out loud, the Lord hears our words. Although I cannot say everything in fine detail here, it is a clear fact that Jesus has given those who have received the remission of sins the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Dear fellow believers, did you receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit ?

People have much interest in the baptism by the Holy Spirit these days. And there are many authors who have written many books on this subject. But we will not find anyone who has written correctly about the Holy Spirit. Because they themselves have never been a true disciple of Jesus, they are unable to properly understand the Holy Spirit. As they hold a pen and start writing this and that with great self-confidence, it may seem as though everything is complete, but when they actually read what they have written they soon realize that it is nothing but a verbose style full of useless words. Unless one has received the remission of sins in his heart, he cannot receive the Holy Spirit and therefore cannot write about the Holy Spirit.

What else did our Lord give us who have received the remission of sins, besides the Holy Spirit and peace?
