Pneumatology: The Doctrine of the Holy Spirit
The Baptism of the Holy Spirit: What Does it Mean?
Vern Poythress, PhD, DTh
There is a controversy over the concept of the baptism of the Holy Spirit, a controversy associated with the Pentecostal movement. Pentecostals teach that the baptism of the Holy Spirit is generally an experience that a believer passes through subsequent to conversion, and that it is related to speaking in tongues; others do not agree with them.

Taking the Mystery Out of the Spirit's Work
John F. MacArthur
So, what exactly does the Holy Spirit do? What is His role in salvation and in the ongoing growth of a Christian? How important is the Spirit compared with the other members of the Trinity? Should you worship Him in the same way you worship the Father and the Son? You’re not alone if you have questions like those. Fair to say, the Holy Spirit is the least understood member of the Godhead. But Scripture speaks clearly on who the Spirit is and what He does.
Whatever Happened to the the Holy Spirit?
John F. MacArthur
More and more of today’s Christians are attempting to solve their problems through their own wisdom. They fail to consider praying for the Holy Spirit’s guidance. For example, what do you hear most on Christian radio—sound Bible teaching, or call-in therapy? Does the church focus on God-centered resources or man-centered methodologies? At one time, all the church could talk about was the Spirit. Now, He’s either shamefully misrepresented or largely forgotten.

Costi Hinn, DMin
The Holy Spirit is quite possibly the most misunderstood and abused member of the Holy Trinity. Some people don’t believe He is God, others think He is merely a mystical force or some abstract expression of God. In the midst of a generation ripe with false teaching that confuses people on this vital doctrine, this episode will help you avoid error and relish in the truth.
Costi Hinn presents six excellent essays on the Holy Spirit. Highly Recommended!
