Baptism in the Holy Spirit

What is the baptism in the Holy Spirit? Is it different from receiving the Holy Spirit at salvation? What about speaking in tongues, spiritual gifts, and some of the difficult experiences people have had around this teaching? In Part 2 of You Shall Receive Power, we look at the baptism in the Holy Spirit from a distinctly Pentecostal and charismatic perspective, while also taking the common questions and objections seriously. This teaching is especially for anyone who is hungry for more of God, but also for those who have felt confused, disappointed, pressured, or even hurt around this subject. 📖 FREE STUDY GUIDE — PART 2 Download the companion study guide here: https://www.thestillsmallvoice.org/re... The guide includes key Scriptures, questions for personal study, an overview of the Spirit’s work in Acts, reflection questions, and space to process your own experiences and questions. In this teaching we look at: • What the baptism in the Holy Spirit is • Why every believer already has the Holy Spirit • Why Pentecostals still speak about a further empowering work of the Spirit • Acts 2, 8, 10 and 19 • Power for witness and ministry • What the baptism in the Holy Spirit is not • Why spiritual gifts do not replace spiritual maturity • Speaking in tongues and why we will give it a full teaching in Part 3 • Common objections, including 1 Corinthians 12:13 • What to do if you have had a disappointing or confusing experience • How to begin asking God for clarity, hunger, and more of His Spirit One of the central truths in this teaching is simple: A bad experience does not make God’s promise bad. If this area has become difficult for you because of something you experienced in church, my hope is that this teaching helps you come back to Scripture, ask honest questions, and leave room for what God may want to do in your life.

And if you know someone who has questions about the baptism in the Holy Spirit, or who has perhaps closed this area of their life because of a difficult experience, consider sharing this teaching with them. My goal is not to win an argument. I want to help people open the Bible again, encounter Jesus, and make room for the work of the Holy Spirit.
