The Baptism of the Holy Spirit

A Broadcast with R.C. Sproul

Many Christians today are confused about the meaning and significance of the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Some people even mistake it for water baptism. What is the purpose of this baptism, who is it for, and when do we receive it? In this lesson, Dr. Sproul discusses topics such as speaking in tongues and the idea of a temporal "gap" between conversion and baptism in the Spirit.

Our Aim

God calls His people to be transformed by the renewing of their minds. This transformation of thinking God’s thoughts after Him is a daily pursuit. To aid you in this, Renewing Your Mind broadcasts a daily message and related resource offer that exposits the glories of God revealed in the Bible against the backdrop of culture, philosophy, apologetics, ethics, and church history. Think of it as bridging the gap between Sunday school and seminary—equipping you for the Christian life.
