Some believers in Acts 19 were sincere but still missing something. This lesson shows how Paul helped them receive the Holy Spirit.
In Lesson 104 (Acts 19:4-7), Paul arrives in Ephesus and meets disciples who only know John's baptism of repentance. They haven't even heard of the Holy Ghost, so Paul fills in the gap. They respond right away, they're baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus, and then Paul lays hands on them. As a result, the Holy Spirit comes on them, and they speak in tongues and prophesy.
This teaching also keeps things practical. It highlights why a teachable spirit matters, how we can learn the gospel in "pieces" over a lifetime, and why obedience often comes before you feel faith. You'll also hear thoughts on impartation, the laying on of hands, and why chasing a "fake" spiritual gift costs more than waiting on God.
