How do I receive the Holy Spirit?
By Sidharth Mohandas Repentance The first requirement to receive the Spirit is repentance.

The Evidence
By Sidharth Mohandas Many people today believe that the baptism in the Spirit is a separate experience from salvation.

By Sidharth Mohandas We hope you have been following us in the foundational series we’re going through. In my previous post I shared with you the various kinds of baptisms Scripture talks about.
