Scripture Post #1,109: *PARTIAL GOSPEL*

Acts 19:2:

"He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost."

Context:

Acts 19:1: "And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples,"

V. 2: "He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost." 

V. 3: "And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John’s baptism."

V. 4: "Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus."

V. 5: "When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus."

V. 6: "And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied."

V. 7: "And all the men were about twelve."

To hear the Gospel of JESUS CHRIST with the exception of the HOLY GHOST, is a *PARTIAL GOSPEL* received. 

These poor men within the context here, were missing out tremendously! Can you imagine telling someone about the HOLY SPIRIT with their response being, "What in the what is a HOLY SPIRIT?" Wow! Thank GOD the Apostle Paul directed them to receive the HOLY GHOST.
