We began in the book of Ephesians, where we examined a word, a verse, and a concept. The word is the Greek verb pleroo. The verse is Ephesians 5:18. And the concept is the concept of...

The Baptism by the Spirit

Overview The Baptism by the Spirit is another miraculous event that occurs the moment we believe  in Christ. It is performed for every believer without exception.  It is performed once and never needs to be repeated.
