Subject: What is spiritual baptism? |
Bible Note: Retxar: Indeed it has been "long time no see". What a joy it is to see you back on the forum! I think I know what you believe and why you believe it. I say that because I've been a member of Assemblies of God churches most of the time since 1959. (Here and there I've attended baptist churches, but it's been mostly AG.) I'm extremely well acquainted with the doctrine AND the experience of the Holy Spirit. While there is some disagreement between you and me, I think it's safe to say that overall we agree far more than we disagree. I believe in the gifts of the Spirit, including tongues. I believe they are still in operation today. To read more about my understanding of the Holy Spirit, the gifts, and the difference between "filled" and "baptized", use the search function to look for the words "Spirit bapti" -- without the quote marks, of course -- by user "kalos". By typing "bapti" in the search field, you will get results for "baptize", "baptized", and "baptism". Grace to you, Kalos |
