Most people have "infilling" and "baptism" of the holy spirit connected as the same thing. Part 2 explains the difference. Hold your horses. ;) @joe: Part 2 of “The Work of the Holy Spirit in Infilling” spends a lot of time focused on the difference.

It's hard for me to separate being filled with the Spirit as it's referenced in Ephesians 5:18-21, Acts 2:4, and Acts 4:31, from the actual baptism. Am I missing something? OK, yes, I am not sure I understand the difference between the infilling and the baptism.

It's corrected now in the blog. As far as your other question. It sounds like you're understanding the details, but missing the main point: THERE IS A DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE INFILLING AND THE BAPTISM. They are two completely separate things. This blog series is a general overview of the function of the Holy Spirit in the lives of Christians: regeneration, infilling, anointing, and baptism. @Joe: The Acts 5:22-26 was a typo.

I'm not exactly sure how Acts 5:22-26 fits in where it is. What does the Apostles being in the temple preaching rather than in the jail have to do with walking in the Spirit so that we don't fulfill the lust of the flesh? I would also love to see a little bit more biblical evidence regarding a Christian who has great Christian character but not the baptism of the Holy Spirit versus a Christian who has the baptism of (or is it 'in') the Holy Spirit not demonstrating the fruit of the Spirit. I'm not sure I fully grasp this one. Doesn't the Bible tell us that we will know them by their fruit (If it applies to the false teacher, then doesn't it make sense that it applies to the upstanding Christian?)? (Matthew 7:15-23) I’m a little confused. I’m not exactly sure how Acts 5:22-26 fits in where it is.
