Being baptised in the Spirit
• Not a secret, unconscious, automatic
experience
• But an identifiable, conscious, known
experience
• Drenched in the Spirit, being filled with
the Spirit, having the Spirit poured out
on us, fall upon us. When this happens,
we receive the Spirit, we are given a
drink from the Spirit
• Has this been your experience?
• Do you see from Scripture it should have
been and that it can be?
