In a New Year’s Eve watch night service on December 31, 1900, a group of 40 Bible school students gathered in Topeka, Kansas to pray for God to fill them with the Holy Spirit as He did in the book of Acts. Dissatisfied with the powerless Christianity they had seen, they had concluded that there was no reason that God would not fill believers today in the same way He had done in the first century.
The current revival that is sweeping the world speaks a great deal about “the anointing of God.” The term raises several questions. In this message, I want to attempt to answer some of those questions. Read Psalm 92:10; Luke 4:18-19; 2 Corinthians 1:21-22; I John 2:27 (Emphasis: Just as Christ was anointed; so are we anointed) [A sermon preached by Dr. Arnold Lastinger. Published with permission.]
The Holy Spirit Baptism must not be confused with the initial regeneration work of the Holy Spirit, which takes place in a person that accepts Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. He can be regenerated and indwelt by the Holy Spirit, but miss the actual baptism.
