3 WHAT HAPPENS<br />
WHEN PEOPLE RECEIVE<br />
THE <strong>DO</strong>REA OF THE<br />
HOLY SPIRIT?<br />
ACTS is the only book of the bible that<br />
tells us what happened when people<br />
received the Holy Spirit.<br />
Only in Acts, we find clear testimonies.<br />
They are written by a medical practitioner.<br />
Dr. Luke.<br />
So Acts is all we have.<br />
And we only find 4 events where it is<br />
written that there and then people received<br />
the Holy Spirit.<br />
This is our eyewitness testimony.<br />
In Acts 2.<br />
