About the Book
This book, ”About The Holy Spirit, “ is a resource for anyone truly interested in whether the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a valid, current Biblical, manifestation that should be experienced by all Christian believers today. It shows scripturally how one is given the gift of the Holy Spirit when born again, which Jesus described as being “born of the Spirit” (John 3:7-8). The Holy Spirit is deeply involved in the salvation process, therefore, every believer has the potential for the operation of all the gifts of the Spirit immediately upon being saved, and should walk and live in the Spirit thereafter (Galatians 5:23). Speaking in tongues is one of the nine gifts of the Spirit that are given to every believer. “Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good” (1 CO 12:7 NIV).
