We are not able to function in the EXACT same way as Jesus, for the Spirit was poured out upon him without measure. But with the baptism of the Holy Ghost, we have power through his name Jesus. |
You are apparently referring to
John 3:34 which says in the KJV:
"For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him."
The words "unto Him," are in italics in the KJV, indicating that they were added by the translator. This was most likely done because they could not accept the force of the actual Greek text, which literally says: "
because He does not give the Spirit by measure."
The words "unto him" do not appear in any of the manuscripts we have available to us.
I leave you to draw your own conclusions from that. However, I do agree with you that with the Baptism of the Holy Ghost we have power through the Name of Jesus.
