IS HOLY GHOST BAPTISM MANDATORY BEFORE SERVICE?

FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD REMAIN BLESSED.

IS HOLY GHOST BAPTISM MANDATORY BEFORE SERVICE?  
MAY Tuesday 18th
TEXT: Acts 2: 14-20
Key verse: Acts 2: 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Some denominations erroneously teach that all Christian workers must be baptized in the Holy Ghost before rendering any form of service in the church because the Bible says, wait in Jerusalem until ye be endued with power from on high? The proper study of the scriptures is required. 
The disciples of Jesus Christ were Christian workers under His ministry although they were not baptized in the Holy Ghost. They were born again, had the word of God, the name of Jesus and by these, they were able to go forth and preach the gospel, cast out devils and heal the sick. This they did although not yet baptized in the Holy Ghost. 
Today, believers should go forth and serve the Lord as the early disciples did even when they were not baptized in the Holy Spirit. The phrase, “Tarry ye in Jerusalem until” does not refer to you because the Holy Spirit has already come down, and you have the Spirit of God, so what are you waiting for? Move and preach the gospel, the baptism shall meet you on the way as you pray fervently. 
It is essential to be baptized in the Holy Spirit. If for instance, you have a motorcycle and you are offered a vehicle will you not go for it? Can you compare a motorcycle with a vehicle? There is a greater glory, greater performance and greater manifestation when you are baptized in the Holy Ghost evidenced by speaking in tongues. 
Even speaking in tongues itself is a great advantage to seek the baptism in the Holy Ghost because the tongues can be the language of angels. The language of tongues is a language of mystery. Praying in tongues gives spiritual edification. Speaking in tongues is also a ministry gift of the Holy Ghost just as the gift of prophecy if the tongues can be interpreted. There are treasures in Christianity waiting for you at the level of baptism with the Holy Spirit.    
Thought for the day: It is essential to be baptized in the Holy Spirit. 
Song for the day: The power, the power, the Pentecostal power, Is just the...
Bible reading for the day: 
2 Kings 20-22; John 6:45-71

For taking your time to study remain blessed. August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be
