QUESTION: Does not Joel 2:28 teach that the Holy Spirit would be poured
out upon all flesh? Why do you restrict this to the apostles and the
household of Cornelius?
ANSWER: The outpouring of the Holy Spirit was indeed upon all flesh, i.e., both
the Jews and the Gentiles. However, to assume that “all flesh” refers to “all men”
is to assume too much! If such were the case, one would necessarily and
logically have to agree that the Holy Spirit was also poured out even upon
sinners! The outpouring of the Holy Spirit as prophesied in Joel 2:28 is not
restricted only to the apostles and the househoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaald of Cornelius! This, however,
does not mean that others were baptized in the Holy Spirit! They were not (See
above answers)! It simply means that miraculous gifts were poured out upon
others, not through Holy Spirit baptism, but through the laying on of the apostle’s
hands.
