Gordon D. Fee, PhD
- After Fee published his magisterial God’s Empowering Presence, he was asked to write a more accessible volume that would articulate Paul’s priorities for experiencing the life of the Spirit in the church. Peadbody, MA: Hendrickson Publishers, 1996.
Dr. Randy Clark
- Sadly, there has been much division surrounding this one question. Many believe that the Holy Spirit in-dwells a person at the moment of their conversion. Others contest that baptism in the Holy Spirit is a separate experience altogether.
