Pentecost did not teach the disciples anything; it made them the incarnation of what they preached.

-Oswald Chambers

The topic of Spirit baptism seems to have become taboo in the modern church world. If any Christian is to be a witness for Jesus Christ they need all the "power from on high" that can be allotted. I will not discuss in this blog the various theologies on how to obtain the baptism in the order of salvation.

The reason some do not talk about it is because they are afraid that there is something more in Christianity than just getting through church services from week to week. Others because they feel like they will be labeled weird or a "holy roller." The truth is, without the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, Christianity ceases to be a movement and starts being a religious system.
