The Deception of Charismata – Full Gospel doctrines…Baptism of the Holy Spirit?
When you place your faith in Jesus as your Lord, you receive every ounce of the Holy Spirit’s presence in your life that you will ever receive. There is no “baptism in the Holy Spirit” but faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and receiving the Holy Spirit as your Guarantor and Seal of covenant relationship with the Father (Ephesians 1:13-14).
The power and strength and influence of the Spirit’s work in your life subsequent salvation is wholly contingent upon how much of yourself you commit to serving, how much of yourself you surrender in obedience to the Spirit’s call on your life in accordance with the spiritual gifts He has granted you by authority.
Many are inundated with the nonsense of charismata…full-gospel nonsense such as tongues and baptism of/in the Holy Spirit and they won’t listen. It’s your life and your walk…if you choose to babble in incoherent gibberish and pretend that the Holy Spirit is somehow parceled out by some form of baptism…that’s your business.
