In a previous sermon about the ministry of the Holy Spirit I only mentioned the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. This has become a subject of unnecessary controversy in the Church… apparently because of confusion as to what it IS and, God’s clear delineation of its purpose. I will, first, give a brief review of the all-encompassing ministry of the Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Triune God. Then I will go into more detail concerning the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.
