Better | What is the Baptism in the Holy Spirit?

Part 7 of BetterWhat is the Baptism in the Holy Spirit? And what are we supposed to do with speaking in tongues?For some Christians, these questions are exciting. For others, they are confusing or connected to some bad experiences. But in Acts 1, Jesus called the Holy Spirit “the gift my Father promised,” and told His disciples to wait until they received power.In this message, Pastor Brent Parsley teaches through Acts 1–2, 1 Corinthians 12–14, and other key Scriptures to bring biblical clarity to Holy Spirit baptism, Pentecost, and the gift of tongues. This message explains that the Holy Spirit is involved in salvation, but also fills and empowers believers for mission, prayer, courage, and witness.You’ll also hear a practical and pastoral explanation of speaking in tongues, what it is, what it isn't, why Paul gives order for its use in worship, and why spiritual gifts should always build up the church in love.The Holy Spirit is not someone to be skeptical of and avoid. He is the presence and power of God given to the people of God.Promised Land Church is located in East Aurora, NY, and exists to help people follow Jesus together in Western New York.
