The Danger of False Professors

Paul is in Ephesus, and meets 12 men who were not believers, who did not know the Spirit. Paul asks them some searching questions to see if they possess Christ, not just profess the name of Christ. They were followers of John the Baptist, but did not understand the purpose of John's mission, which was to point to the Lamb of God. Paul preached Christ and the Spirit was poured out upon them.
