Have You Received the Holy Ghost: Ministering the Baptism with the Holy Ghost

The book of Acts can be termed a book of the baptism with the Holy Ghost, where we see from the first chapter, when the instruction was given in Acts 1:8 to the very last chapter; where we see a clear-cut manifestation of this baptism with the Holy Ghost.

This prompted Paul in Acts 19:2 to ask certain disciples that he found, a golden question for all time: "Have you received the Holy Ghost since you believed?"

Events following afterwards have become a subject of theological discourse, as to what exactly happened in Ephesus when Paul approached these disciples and provided further clarity to their question.

What we seek to do in this book, is to help the believer to first of all understand in a basic way, the theology of the baptism of the Holy Ghost and know how and why it is ministered the way it is.

In today's world, there is the need for believers who are equipped with God's word, not to just preach the Gospel but also to act on God's word, particularly on things that should follow the preaching of the Gospel to the unsaved.

Having written another book titled: "Telling the Jesus story to the world", it was impressed upon our hearts to put this book together as well, as a consequent ministry, upon the preaching of the Gospel to those who are yet to hear and who have just believed it.

We believe that, as believers, ministries and groups within the churches read through this material, it will help in knowing how to minister the baptism with the Holy Ghost and in many instances answer the questions that could come up in people's minds around the subject.

So, sit back, relax with your study materials as we study together Paul's golden question: "Have you received the Holy Ghost since you believed?". We trust that, this would aid the work of the ministry in many churches and ministries around the world in Jesus' name.

I remain multidimensionally yours,
