“There are two words for power in the New Testament, one of which stands for authority and the other for force” (Page 55)
“‘Since the New Testament times the Holy Spirit has illuminated truth, but has not revealed anything new.’” (Page 69)
“The Church still has a theology of the Holy Ghost but it has no living consciousness of His presence and power. Theology without experience is like faith without works: it is dead. The signs of death abound. Prayer-meetings have died out because men did not believe in the Holy Ghost. The liberty of prophesying has gone because men believe in investigation and not in inspiration. There is a dearth of conversions because faith about the New Birth as a creative act of the Holy Ghost has lost its grip on intellect and heart.” (Page 12)
“The gift of the Spirit is God’s gift of power, for effective witnessing, holiness of life, and consecrated service. It gives authority, aptness, and force in speech.” (Page 57)
“Confusion and impotence are inevitable when the wisdom and resources of the world are substituted for the presence and power of the Spirit of God.” (Page 12)
