HOLY GHOST BAPTISM

God's Word Teaches: That the Baptism in the Holy Ghost is the endowment of power from on high upon the sanctified believer. It is "the promise of the Father" and when one receives this "gift of the Holy Ghost", it is accompanied by the initial evidence of speaking a language unlearned previously referred to as speaking as the Spirit gives utterance (Joel 2:28-29; Matthew 3:11; Acts 1:8;Luke 3:16,24,49; John1:30-33; 7:37-39; 14:16-17, 26; 16:12-15; Acts 1:5-8; Mark 16:17; Acts 2:1-8; 10:44-46; 19:1-6). We do not teach or instruct people how to speak in tongue: the Holy Spirit gives utterance. We also stress the necessity of purity 

before power. The gifts of the Spirit are for believers today (1Corinthians 12:1-31; 14:1-40)
