5.0 out of 5 stars Spirit Prayer for all God's people, August 26, 2005

This review is from: The Holy Spirit in the Third Millennium (Paperback)

The book reveals how believers may get involved in praying in the Spirit. Glossalalia(tounges)comes subsequent to the conversion experience, but should come soon after. Some have prayed and waited so long they have given up for they did not know how to engage. The book is an encourager. It shows how one can enter into this marvelous prayer dimension and receive phenomenal answers to prayer.

This review is from: The Holy Spirit in the Third Millennium (Hardcover)

Stanford Linzey is a delightful and zealous follower of Christ who reports having led nearly 20,000 people into the experience of speaking in other tongues. As such his book "The Holy Spirit in the Third Millennium" was of great interest to me.

The book is not primarily a study of the person and the work of the Holy Spirit. Rather the focus is on the subjects of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and glossalia (speaking in other tongues). Linzey argues that the Baptism of the Holy Spirit occurs at salvation and it is not an event subsequent to salvation. He sees the gift of tongues as a manifestation any believer can release by faith.

I found the greatest value of the book was in his explanation of how he leads people into an experience of "manifesting the Spirit" (speaking in tongues). Regardless of your understanding of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, Linzey gives some valuable practical direction for Pentecostals and Charismatics desiring to lead people into receiving or "manifesting" the Holy Spirit.

Though I do not agree with his understanding of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, I did find his explanation interesting. The book was easy to read and Linzey's insights are worth considering.

This review is from: The Holy Spirit in the Third Millennium (Paperback)

This is an excellent book for those who have questions about the doctrine of the Holy Spirit Baptism and speeking in tongues. His keen insight reveals more than the normal intellectual approach, and is able to be appreciated by those of all Christian backgrounds. Truly a magnus effort!
