The Baptism With the Holy Ghost

CONDITIONS TO BE MET

The next step that one would naturally take is to inquire just what are the conditions the born-again Christian must meet in order to be baptized with the Spirit. There are some conditions for us to meet, but the greatest of all conditions has been met by our Lord. He has provided for us this fullness of the Spirit. It is the evidence of His victorious conflict with Satan as He overcame all of our foes, and is now seated at the right hand of the Father. It was when Christ entered the presence of the Father that He received from the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, and He shed it forth upon His disciples that they may be partakers of His victory (Acts 2:33). So God's condition has been fully met. It is ours in provision. All there is left for us to do is to meet our part of the contract and receive it by faith from God. But what are the conditions to be met, what is our part of the contract?
