When God calls us, He calls us to Himself.
That is a simple statement, but it is filled with meaning. And its meaning is so challenging to our nature that pure faith alone can embrace it.
In calling us to Himself, God is excluding all other things as the object of our desire. He does not call us to a doctrine, nor to any sect or religion, nor to any idea or ceremony, nor yet to any human. He calls us to Himself, and once we come to Him, He adds to us what we need for our salvation. Pure faith abandons all preferences and opinions when God calls.
“When you said, Seek my face, my heart said to you, Your face, O Lord, will I seek” (Ps. 27:8).
This web site is for those who have heard the call of God and are seeking Him.
Going to Jesus
“I am come that they might have life, ... more abundantly”
Everyone who hears and is taught by the Father comes to Jesus (Jn. 6:45). And Jesus does not send us to church but baptizes us into the family of God, his body, with the holy Spirit baptism! Through the Spirit baptism we receive spiritual life, the "new and living way" of Christ.
This way is not a way of symbols, rituals, and ceremony. But so many of God's dear children are still behaving as Old Testament servants of God, worshiping with symbols, as if the holy Spirit had not come.
This web site exists to help God's people come to know the life that Jesus died for them to have so that they can worship the Father "in spirit and in truth."
The New Birth, the holy Spirit Baptism
and Speaking in Tongues
Jesus baptizes us with his Spirit but among the denominations of Christianity there is confusion and controversy about this most basic issue. Questions such as the following provoke much disagreement and division: What is the holy Spirit baptism? Is it different to being "born of the Spirit? Is speaking in tongues necessary or even for today?
Here are just a few of the many differing answers given to these questions:
- speaking in tongues is the initial evidence of the holy spirit baptism;
- speaking in tongues is a gift given to some but not all believers;
- speaking in tongues has ceased and is now of the devil;
- the new birth is a separate, prior experience to the spirit baptism.
- the new birth and the holy spirit baptism with the initial evidence of tongues are the same experience.
What is the truth? Must you speak in tongues? Are you born again, or not? Do you know for sure? Jesus said, "You must be born again". You need the answer. It is a life and death matter!
Speaking in Tongues at Spirit Baptism provides answers to these fundamental issues with a thorough, reasoned discussion of the biblical revelation. A free copy of this book for your personal study. Speaking in tongues provides us with a witness from God that we are now His child. Speaking in tongues is the voice of the Spirit which Jesus said would be heard whenever someone was born again.
