We believe the Baptism of the Holy Spirit is available to all believers and provides several benefits as indicated in the New Testament. These include: power to witness and serve others; a dedication to the work of God; a more intense love for Christ, His Word and the lost; and the use of spiritual gifts. We believe this baptism is the same baptism Christ received just prior to His ministry and the apostles received on the day of Pentecost. This same baptism and ministry of the Holy Spirit is in continuing operation as evidenced in the gifts, ministries, and fruit in the life of the believer (Acts 1:5,8; 2:1-4).
