Overview

Spread the Fire: Spirit Baptism in Today's Culture
by Scott Wilson and John Bates

Today’s church is hungry for supernatural moves of God. This invigorating book invites pastors and church leaders to a new level of training, teaching, and modeling Spirit-filled living. Diligent leaders already address vital topics like forgiveness, integrity, reaching the lost, and more, but the need is for these same leaders to weave teaching about the baptism in the Holy Spirit into daily church life. Leaders ignite the flame by sharing testimonies of tongues, signs and wonders, prophecy, and other divine moves of God. Church services and board meetings can incorporate prayer in the Spirit and an invitation to testify. On the day of Pentecost, tongues of fire fell in Spirit baptism. Let leaders today reclaim a Spirit-empowered church.

Also available in Spanish, Propaga el fuego.
