    Thank you Kreilly for being so honest to bring this up. I have been baptized in the HS. Yet, I have felt the same way and sometimes question if I have truly received the HS. The Bible tells us that the apostles had been imparted with various measures of the power of the HS during Jesus' life and ministry prior to Pentecost in order to carry out specific assignments. Yet, they too were frail and weak at times.

    Well my first attempt didnt work so will try again.

    I will answer question 1.

    I believe Luke wrote his gospel from the many eyewitnesses that had been around Jesus when he was on earth. Luke would have been very much into giving detail about his writings. He also had Marks gospel to fall back on.

    They should wait for the Holy Spirit to come and empower them so that they are able to witness with confidence to other people and nations. The Spirit's coming represents a filling, a baptism because they are going to be filled with the Holy Spirit. They will be baptized with the Holy Spirit and this will enable them to preach the Gospel with power and without fear.

    Q1. (Acts 1:4-8) Why aren’t Jesus’ disciples to leave Jerusalem and return to their homes? In what ways does the Spirit’s coming represent a filling? A coming upon? A baptism?

    I agree with Francina. I think that in addition to seeing the power of the Holy Spirit manifested on each other, God had a plan to use that power to witness to a large crowd, in their own languages and bring many to Christ.
