    What does it mean to be baptized with the Holy Spirit and can you be a Christian without it?

    Baptism of the Holy Spirit Why is it that we seldom hear a sermon on the Holy Spirit in some of our churches today? Is it that we are afraid of the actions of our members if they do let the Holy Spirit lead them in worship? I believe to be a true Christian we must be baptized with the Holy ...read more

    We will be studying a topic that some have twisted so much that many are so afraid to go out on a limb they dare not even climb a tree. This topic: The Baptism of The Holy Spirit. Let’s study just the facts on this controversial topic.

    Introduction OK, so last week we spoke of the ministry of the Holy Spirit in the life of the Believer, but you noticed some things were missing. There was no mention of the gifts of the Spirit, no mention of the fruit of the Spirit, so what gives? Doesn’t God want us to have these? Of course ...read more

    Baptism: Magic Or Mission?

    "How can I get God to do what I want?" is the poor question that has led to erroneous concepts of baptism. Baptism is, to the contrary, our signing on to how we can go what God wants.

    The problem is that if you don’t ask the right question, you’ll never get the right answer. If you ask the wrong question, you’ll never get the answer you want. A long time ago I learned that it is the wrong question, definitely the wrong question, to ask, "Are we having dessert tonight?" If I ...read more
