b'In \\u201cReceive The Baptism In The Holy Spirit\\u201d Rodney shares that Pentecost to both unbelievers and believers is often misunderstood. They hear Pentecost and all sorts of images run through their mind, much of it inaccurate, unfortunately. For believers, Pentecost is celebrated as the Day the believers were first baptized in the Holy Spirit, and was the birth of the Church. In this message we explain that the scriptures speak of three different baptisms. When we talk about the baptism in the Holy Spirit we are talking about a second baptism experience that is post conversion, and available for all believers. The Apostle Peter speaking the words of the Prophet Joel reminds us, \\u201cThis promise is to you, to your children, and to those far away\\u2014all who have been called by the Lord our God.\\u201d If God had a gift for you to receive, why would you not want to receive it? Get rid of your preconceived ideas or expectations on what it will look, or feel like. You receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit the same way you accepted salvation in Jesus Christ. In faith, receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit. Ask the Lord to baptize you in the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit will come upon you as it did the early disciples.'
