The reason for this provision (baptism with the Holy Spirit) is that the believers are to be ____.

• A. disciples
• B. witnesses
• C. stewards
• D. shepherds

Answer: (B)

Baptism with the Holy Spirit empowers believers to be witnesses for Christ. When the Spirit is poured out, it equips boldness, gives words to speak, and confirms the gospel in the hearts of believers so they can testify to what they have seen, heard, and experienced in Jesus. This aligns with the calling to spread the gospel and to bear witness to Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection as described in Acts and the Great Commission. While being a disciple, managing what God entrusts to us as stewards, or shepherding the flock are important, the specific purpose of this Spirit-enabled experience is to empower believers to witness to others about Christ.
