The Apostolic Church of Pentecost has in its statement of faith, “We believe in the baptism with the Holy Spirit as an experience subsequent to salvation with the Scriptural evidence; namely, speaking in tongues.” Is there a biblical basis for this statement of faith or is it merely a relic of the early Pentecostal period? More importantly, God is interested in Christians living an empowered life!  The Holy Spirit wants us to have regular power encounters with Him.  These power encounters enable us to live an exciting and miraculous life, and to be bold and effective witnesses for God’s Kingdom.  

Let’s consider the powerful baptism in the Holy Spirit and prepare to be filled with God Himself!
