    1624 Words  | 7 Pages

    The practice of speaking in tongues has a long and diverse history, and its interpretation has evolved over time. Historical Perspectives: Speaking in tongues can be traced back to the early Christian Church, particularly as described in the New Testament book of Acts. The event of Pentecost, where the disciples spoke in various languages, marked the inauguration of the Christian Church and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Throughout history, there have been periods of increased emphasis on speaking in tongues, known as "charismatic" or "pentecostal" movements, as well as periods of relative quietness or skepticism.

  • Summary: Perspectives On SPIRIT Baptism

    1730 Words  | 7 Pages

    PERSPECTIVES ON SPIRIT BAPTISM The Reform position of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit is possibly the most commonly held position in the American mid-west. Walter Kaiser is a brilliant theologian but very typical in his assessment of the Holy Spirit’s representation in the New Testament. Kaiser does a masterful job of presenting the theological and chronological exegesis of the Holy Spirit without jumping off the Calvinist cliff. He makes an excellent observation of seeing the Pauline letters as didactic and Lukan letters as narrative, but falls short of full scholarship by asserting that narrative passages could not be doctrinal in scope.
