This classic, now in paperback edition, introduces the reader to the most distinctive aspect of Pentecostal theology--baptism in the Holy Spirit. James Dunn sees water-baptism as only one element in the New Testament pattern of conversion and initiation. The gift of the Spirit, he believes, is the central element.

Must Reading For Studying the Holy Spirit,
By
This review is from: Baptism in the Holy Spirit: A Re-examination of the New Testament on the Gift of the Spirit (Paperback)
I purchased Dunn's book to read a differant opinion of those of my persuasion in the Pentecostal Movement. I must admit that this book is very technical and if you are not familiar with Greek than you may want to avoid this book.Dunn's main premise is that the Baptism in the Holy Spirit did occur in Acts as a "second work of grace" but this is only part of Jesus' plan of evangelism and conversion (Acts 1:8). The dramatic Spirit-Baptisms were simply God giving His sign of approval upon their conversions. Thus Dunn views the Baptism in the Spirit as a conversion/initiation experience (1 Cor. 12:13). Dunn's book has become the standard reply by non-Pentecostals and non-charismatics. The book was written in 1970 and has since become standard reading in many evangelical colleges. Even those who do not ascribe to Dunn hold to his theological approach in explaining Spirit-Baptisms in Acts.

God, "The same yesterday, today, and forever.",

This review is from: Baptism in the Holy Spirit: A Re-examination of the New Testament on the Gift of the Spirit (Paperback)
The book title basically speaks for itself and the Bible does, too. If God doesn't change, just because we live in the 2000's, doesn't mean God has changed either.If the Bible states that God doesn't change, then it is pointless to give the relation as to how it pertains to us today.
