And if "with the" were added. How does that change when Paul received the Holy Spirit?
[with the] Holy
Ἁγίου (Hagiou)
Adjective - Genitive Neuter Singular
Strong's 40: Set apart by (or for) God, holy, sacred. From hagos; sacred.
And if you add the Greek word ( the ) it changes the meaning to the indwelling of the Holy Spirit .
If you take out the definite article ( the ) than the meaning means the Power of Holy Spirit .
Bullinger has a book called The Giver and His Gifts , over 200 pages explaining what the Greek ( the ) means .
So , from Acts 9:18 Ananias laid hands , Sauls eyes were opened , immediately and he recovered sight instantly and having stood up he was baptized .
Also notice that when the Lord spoke to Ananias , that he was lay his hand on Saul to recover his sight in Acts 9:12 and saysn nothing about being baptized !
In 1 Cor 12:3 Saul spoke by the power of Holy Spirit !
Are these instances the same ?
They do not same to be the same to me ?
What say you ?
