Doctrine of Baptism in the Holy Spirit

The Doctrine of Baptism in the Holy Spirit refers to a spiritual experience where a believer is empowered and filled with the presence of the Holy Spirit. It often involves a profound sense of God's presence, enabling them to live out their faith more passionately, serve others, and sometimes achieve spiritual gifts like boldness, prophecy, or healing. This baptism is viewed as a separate, subsequent experience to salvation, aimed at empowering believers for Christian life and service. It emphasizes an intimate closeness with God and an enhanced ability to reflect Christ in daily life.
