There is much debate on the topic of baptism in the Holy Spirit, and author J. R. Miller contends that all sides are quick to dismiss each other as evil or apostate. With Have You Not Yet Received the Spirit?, Miller hopes to take this debate out of divisive territory and bring it back within the context of the whole body of Christ, where faith and the power of the Spirit produce a desire for unity and a bond of peace.

“We can either use our worldview as the filter through which we interpret Scripture or we can use Scripture as our filter by which we can interpret our experience. These two approaches could be no more opposed than night and day! In using personal experience as the filter to Scripture, we make our individual experience the source of revelation over the spoken Word of God.” (Page 14)
“Many today have chosen to repeat the Corinthian error by dividing the one Gospel of Jesus Christ into factions after individual apostles and leaders. The apostles proclaimed the same message, yet some Christians chose to be followers of individual men rather than the one God.” (Page 7)
“God, through his Holy Spirit, brings illumination to our minds, but we must always remember that the Holy Spirit will always work within the framework of His already revealed Word.” (Page 16)
“We do not have to deny our experiences to understand God’s written Word, but we must always subject our experiences to the teaching of the unerring Word through the Spirit.” (Page 17)
“As the Father is revealed in the Son, the Son sent forth His Spirit, who bears witness to the love of the Father. It is impossible to separate the Father from the Son, the Son from the Spirit, or the Spirit from the Father: they are one God.1 I mention this because it has become the practice of some theologians to try and separate the One God into three, and treat the Holy Spirit as an autonomous agent.” (Page 1)
