“It was indeed a baptism, but the Bible also says it was a filling. ‘All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit’ (Acts 2:4). It was a pouring out of the Spirit upon them, as Joel prophesied (Joel 2:28–32). It was a receiving (an active taking) of a gift (Acts 2:38); a falling upon (8:16; 10:44; 11:15); a pouring out of the Gift (10:45); and a coming upon (19:6). With all these terms used, it is thus impossible to suppose that baptism refers to something different from filling, or that the Pentecostal experience was limited to the Day of Pentecost. Nor need we suppose that the lack of use of the term ‘baptism in the Spirit’ in the Epistles is significant.” (Pages 138–139)

“Most prophets were intercessors, especially Moses (Numbers 14:13–20; Deuteronomy 9:20); Samuel (1 Samuel 7:5; 12:19, 23); Jeremiah (7:16); and Amos (7:2, 5).” (Page 24)

“Today the Pentecostals are in the frontline of the battle against the enemy of the truth who is also the enemy of our souls. Modern man needs the full illumination that comes through the person of the Spirit when He dwells within in power.” (Page 15)

“The Body of believers united together is the temple (sanctuary) for the dwelling of God by His Spirit (Ephesians 2:21, 22; 1 Corinthians 3:16). In addition, the bodies of the individual believers are each a temple or sanctuary of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19). The appearance of fire came over the whole group to indicate God’s acceptance of the whole Body as a temple. Then it broke up with the single tongue on the head of each to show God’s acceptance of the body of each as a temple of the Spirit.” (Pages 141–142)
