"The baptism with the Spirit, immersion in the Spirit, infilling
with the Spirit, is not a mere doctrine to be studied and learnt; it should be
an experience to be received and lived in. Just like salvation, sanctification,
healing, redemption and total freedom, retaining the doctrine in the head is of
no use if we don’t experience it in the heart. Think of a person having the
knowledge of salvation yet living in sin, a man knowing much about
sanctification yet inwardly and outwardly “without holiness”, a
member who has learnt many healing promises
who yet is sick and sickly.

The
goal of learning the doctrine is to experience and enjoy its benefit. The
promised baptism with the Holy Ghost brings power, courage, boldness,
understanding, guidance, zeal, soul-winning passion, comfort, inspiration and
revelation. As surely as Christ saves, sanctifies, heals and delivers, He also
baptizes with the Holy Ghost. When He saves a sinner, there is a visible, moral
evidence: we become new creatures in Christ. When He sanctifies, there is a
definite, undeniable evidence: we are inwardly pure and outwardly holy. When He
baptizes, there is a glorious evidence – “power from on high”." (from outline)
