For many years the writer has had the conviction that there was a great need for a book of this nature. Many believers have honest questions when it comes to understanding the distinction between being “born of the Spirit” and “baptized in the Spirit”.

Over the years the pendulum has swung back and forth between extremes on the area of teaching of these glorious truths. Most “Evangelicals” believe that “new birth” and Holy Spirit baptism” takes place at one and the same time. Most “Pentecostals” believe that there are two distinct and separate experiences. Some have taught that, unless one has the baptism of the Holy Spirit, then they do not have the Spirit.

The Scriptures, however, show that all truly “born again” believers have the Holy Spirit, for, “if any one have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His”. All true believers are “born of the Spirit” and have the Spirit in “new birth”. However, the same Scriptures teach that there is a further operation of the Holy Spirit in a person’s life and this is spoken of as the “baptism in the Holy Spirit”.

The writer has endeavoured to present a clear and balanced “case study” of each of the accounts in the Book of Acts, showing the difference and distinction between the two major operations of one and the same Holy Spirit. It is sent forth with the desire that it will be of great help to both groups of God’s people and that all may know of the glorious work of the Spirit – that is, being BORN OF THE SPIRIT and BAPTIZED IN THE SPIRIT!
