The Bible clearly shows that all Christians can receive the same baptism of the Holy Spirit that Jesus experienced. Mark 16:17 tells us that Jesus expects believers to become imbued with His power and walk in the supernatural. Yet, many churches believe that once a person is saved and the Holy Spirit indwells their heart, that is the only measure of the Holy Spirit needed. The Baptism in the Holy Spirit was foretold by Jesus in John 14:16-17 and is a literal immersion God's power. This book provides a sound Scriptural case that modern Christians should receive this gift. This study deals with controversial questions such as whether all Christians should speak in tongues, and if manifestation of the gift of tongues is required as evidence of the baptism in the Holy Spirit.
