Best Answer

When Jesus sent the disciples out on the "limited commission," they were to go only to the "lost sheep of the house of Israel" (see Matthew 10:5-7). Rome was not mentioned, nor would the disciples have any reason to even think about preaching in Rome at this point of Jesus' ministry.

Following His resurrection, however, under the "Great Commission," they were to "go into all the worldand preach the gospel to every creature" (Mark 16:15).

Jesus never told his disciples not to take His word to Rome; on the contrary, that was part of Paul's specific evangelistic purpose.

Acts 23:11 - But the following night the Lord stood by him and said, "Be of good cheer, Paul; for as you have testified for Me in Jerusalem, so you must also bear witness at Rome." [NKJV]

The only record of a disciple (or apostle) being directed NOT to preach in a certain region (after Jesus' ascension) is when Paul and Timothy would have gone into Asia, but the Holy Spirit turned them toward Europe instead (see Acts 16:6-10).

When does the holy spirit enter into a person?

The answer to this question is unknown since it is not written specifically in the Bible. The Bible mentions the Holy Spirit but not specifically when we receive it. In Psalm David asks God not to take the Holy Spirit away from him, which means David had The Holy Spirit and was afraid God would take it away. In the New Testament Jesus says to his disciples that He is leaving but will send a 'Helper', this is considered to be the Holy Spirit. Pentecost is about the Disciples receiving The Holy Spirit. So, although the Bible talks about The Holy Spirit, it does not tell us when we receive or why.
