Answer: Yes, when you give your life to Jesus, you receive the Holy Spirit inside you. This is reflected in scripture in John 20:22 after Jesus rose from the dead where it says, “22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.” However, he also told the disciples in Luke 24:49 “49 And behold, I am sending the promise of my Father upon you. But stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.” Then, at Pentecost in Acts 2 after Jesus had ascended back into heaven, they were baptized in the Holy Spirit. This additional outpouring of the Holy Spirit is the baptism of the Holy Spirit that clothed the disciples in power so that they would be equipped to expand the kingdom through the power of God rather than in their own strength. The same is available to us today. Some explain it this way; the Holy Spirit comes to live inside you for you, but the Holy Spirit comes upon you for others.

Acts 4:8 accounts Peter being ‘filled with the Holy Spirit’ while addressing the rulers and elders. Later in verse 29, after persecution, the disciples ask God for boldness to continue to preach the gospel. Then in vs. 31 it says, “And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness.” We see here that there can be multiple outpourings of the Holy Spirit.

But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
