Baptism with the spirit: Teaching Of Martyn Lloyd-Jones

Baptism with the spirit: Teaching Of Martyn Lloyd-Jones by Eaton, Michael. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780851106632.

Some Christians emphasize doctrine, others experience. Martyn Lloyd-Jones emphasized both. Marrying a Reformed understanding of biblical theology to a passionate desire for a deeper experience of God, he urged all Christians to seek baptism with the Holy Spirit. This he viewed as a direct sealing of the assurance of Gods love to a believers consciousness which results in a heightened awareness of God, brings joy to worship, and adds a new dimension to the churchs witness. This book examines the sources of Dr Lloyd-Joness teaching in the writings of the Puritans and later theologians such as Jonathan Edwards, and compares it with others views of the work of the Holy Spirit which are currently held. It is an important contribution to the ongoing debate. Explore the teachings of Martyn Lloyd-Jones, who harmonized doctrine and experience, urging Christians to seek a deeper relationship with God through the Holy Spirit.
