The Apostle Paul introduces us to the Spirit's Gifts in I Corinthians, chapters twelve and fourteen. He begins by saying, "Now concerning spiritual gifts, I would not have you ignorant" I Corinthians 12:1. ......the assumption that the Spirit's Gifts are not intended for the church today because so many church leaders are convinced that these gifts ceased with the apostles........no place in the Scriptures does it even suggest that God ever had any intention of withdrawing these gifts .......On the contrary, we read, the “gifts and callings of God are without repentance" Romans 11:29, and "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and today, and forever" Hebrew 13:8.

“And we are His witnesses of these things and so also is the Holy Ghost, whom God bath given to them that obey Him.” Acts 5:22 When the conditions are met for receiving the Holy Spirit, it inspires our faith to believe. When we believe, then we receive. When we meet the conditions of Luke 11:13 (ask), and Acts 5:32 (obey), it will be easy to meet the condition of Acts 15:8-9 (believe).

The meaning and result of Water Baptism can be understood only in the light of the redemptive death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.......Jesus commanded that all nations be put into communion with God and His Kingdom, and this is symbolized by baptism MATT. 28:18-20......there is an experience with God to be attained in Water Baptism. Countless thousands in all denominations are experiencing the reality of Acts 2:38. This experience in turn leads to another experience.... the Holy Spirit Baptism Acts 2:39. This experience leads to another experience.... the Fullness of God Himself Eph. 3:19.
