HOW TO BE BAPTIZED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT

Many young believers are often surprised and confused to realise that the radical transformations they had expected are not taking place in their lives after being born again, and after they have accepted Christ as their Lord and Saviour. They still struggle with sin, feel spiritually dry, are not able to preach the gospel boldly, cannot pray effectively and for a long time and do not make much from the Word of God. In short, new converts are living feeble and defeated lives. More often than not, the simple reason for this is that such young believers are not filled or baptized with the Holy Spirit, after the new birth experience. This small book – How to be Baptized with the Holy Spirit - offers immense help to Christians who are yet to be baptized with the Holy Spirit. The book lucidly describes the divine Personality of the Holy Spirit and His multidimensional ministries and works in the church and in the lives of believers. In a clear, systematic and simple style, it explains how the believer can be filled with the Holy Spirit and teaches what Christians should know about speaking in unknown tongues. Finally, How to be Baptized with the Holy Spirit provides assistance to the believer who has just been filled with the Holy Spirit with key follow-up steps that will help him to experience remarkable spiritual growth and a pleasant relationship and walk with the Holy Spirit.
