And as I began to speak,

the Holy Spirit fell upon them

just as it had upon us

at the beginning.

And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said, ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’

If then God gave them the same gift that he gave us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could hinder God?”

Acts 11:15-17
