Synopsis

This is a book that clearly and comprehensively covers the topics of both water baptism and Spirit baptism from a purely biblical perspective — rather than from a particular ecclesiastical, historical, or theological perspective. Rather than using isolated Scripture verses in an effort to shore up a position, this book quotes and explains all passages that have a bearing on these two topics, allowing a position to form that is based solely on God’s Word. Passages are considered within their broader literary contexts, and alternative interpretations are explored. Water baptism and the baptism in the Spirit are for all Christians. Whether you are a layperson, minister, or teacher, this book is for you!
