"Now a certain Jew named Apollos...an eloquent man and mighty in the Scriptures, came to Ephesus. This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord, and being fervent I spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things of the Lord, though he knew only the baptism of John .... When Aquilla and Priscilla heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately."
Acts 18:24-26
It is possible for a teacher/preacher to be mighty in the Scriptures and dynamically proclaim the Gospel, and still not understand the Baptism in the Holy Spirit. They accurately teach God's word except for Spirit Baptism. The difference is that Apollos was open to receive the teaching of Aquilla and Priscilla as they privately explained "more accurately" the message. Many of today's teachers are so set in their dogma that they flat out reject the knowledge that there is something more to the Gospel than salvation. May their eyes be opened.
Today's Thought: John's Baptism for repentance and salvation are good but there is something "more."
Have a "more" day. Love you.
