There are three types of baptisms talked about in the Bible for the New Testament believer: baptism into the Body of Christ by the Holy Spirit, baptism in water by another believer, and baptism into the Holy Spirit by Jesus Himself.

Rejoice!
Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice. Philippians 4:4 If you’ve been a Christian for any amount of time, you’ve certainly heard a lot about rejoicing in the Lord when things are tough, but I want to point out that we ought not to forget to rejoice in the Lord when things […]
Hearing God’s Voice in the Everyday | Joy to the Nations International | S1E17
Have you ever thought of “hearing God” as something as simple and as ordinary as just an internal knowing or a feeling? Have you ever experienced the leading of the Holy Spirit through His “still small voice?” Or are you waiting for a billboard to tell you in big block letters what God is saying […]
The Baptism of the Holy Spirit–Clothed with Power | Episode 16
When I first heard of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, I wasn’t immediately convinced that this was something the Bible clearly talked about. How could it be? I was raised a Nazarene boy in a family of Nazarenes, going to church every time the doors were open. I was a regional Children’s Bible Quizzing […]
Rivers of Living Water from Kings Who Know Their Place
For if because of one man’s trespass (lapse, offense) death reigned through that one, much more surely will those who receive [God’s] overflowing grace (unmerited favor) and the free gift of righteousness [putting them into right standing with Himself] reign as kings in life through the one Man Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).

Tongues: A Flowing Stream of Power | Episode 15
For one who speaks in an [unknown] tongue speaks not to men but to God, for no one understands or catches his meaning, because in the [Holy] Spirit he utters secret truths and hidden things [not obvious to the understanding]. 1 Corinthians 14:2, AMPC I will get right to it: the Bible clearly teaches that […]
Things Pertaining to and of the Holy Spirit!
Now about the spiritual gifts (the special endowments of supernatural energy), brethren, I do not want you to be misinformed. 1 Corinthians 12:1, AMPC The first thing to note about the gifts of the Holy Spirit are the fact that they are more accurately described as manifestations of the Holy Spirit. Yes, these manifestations are […]
Let the Word of God Change You! (Tongues and the Baptism of the Holy Spirit)
For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. 1 Corinthians 14:2, KJV I remember my first encounter with a group of people speaking in tongues. In fact, I remember it quite well–I had been brought up […]
S1E14: Seedtime and Harvest
How we handle money matters to God! Money is the proving ground for our faith, and is a powerful resource that can be used to carry the Gospel of Jesus all around the world to people who need it the most. It is vitally important for the man or woman of God to learn how […]
What Does it Mean that “Jesus Tasted Death” for Us?
But we are able to see Jesus, Who was ranked lower than the angels for a little while, crowned with glory and honor because of His having suffered death, in order that by the grace (unmerited favor) of God [to us sinners] He might experience death for every individual person. Hebrews 2:9, AMPC Sometimes we […]
