This is a feature of those who gave their lives to the Lord in 2008.
Jesus himself, at the time of his baptism, “saw heaven being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove” (Mark 1:10, niv). Several experiences of the baptism of the Holy Spirit are recorded in the New Testament (Acts 2:1–4; 9:17; 10:44–46; 19:1–7). Jesus sustained the promise just before his ascension, saying, “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you” (Acts 1:8, niv).
The events in the New Testament account are sufficient to indicate believers can experience the baptism of the Spirit. We could say one’s life is saturated with the Holy Spirit or immersed in the Spirit. The word sanctification is often used to describe the experience of the Spirit-filled life. Whatever the term used, we believe the infilling of the Spirit in the life of the Christian makes a dynamic difference in the individual’s receptivity to the Spirit’s leadership and the individual’s effectiveness as a witness for Christ.
