In this verse-by-verse Bible study of Acts 19:1–7, we explore one of the New Testament’s most important passages on the work of the Holy Spirit. Along the way, we’ll examine:
- The relationship between John’s baptism and Christian baptism.
- The baptism of the Holy Spirit and the new birth.
- Why the Ephesian disciples spoke in tongues.
- Whether tongues are the normative sign of Spirit baptism.
- The two historic views of water baptism:
- Baptism as a public profession of faith and witness.
- Baptismal regeneration (the sacramental view).
- How Acts 19 fits into the broader teaching of the New Testament on salvation and the Holy Spirit.
Whether you’re studying the Book of Acts, preparing to teach, or simply seeking to understand the ministry of the Holy Spirit more deeply, this study will help you read Acts 19 in its historical, biblical, and theological context.
