Into the book
The 'baptism' of the Holy Spirit is like the 'gift' of the Holy Spirit, and it is one of the unique blessings of the new covenant, and also an introductory blessing, so it is a universal blessing given to all who participate in the covenant.
It is an essential part of belonging to the new era.
The Lord Jesus, the Mediator of the new covenant and the giver of its blessings, gives both forgiveness of sins and the gift of the Holy Spirit to all who enter into His covenant.
---From "Chapter 1: The Promise of the Holy Spirit"
All seven New Testament passages concerning the baptism of the Holy Spirit are in the indicative mood, either aorist, present, or future, and none of them contain imperative exhortations.
But the very fact that there are these passages dealing with the filling of the Holy Spirit—verses that describe how some Christians were filled again, and yet others that command all Christians to continue to be filled—shows that it is possible, and sadly common, for Christians baptized in the Holy Spirit to lose that filling.
---From “Chapter 2: The Filling of the Holy Spirit”
As we come to understand the progressive nature of God's work, we will be more actively cooperating with the Holy Spirit (the heavenly Gardener) in bearing fruit, more attentive to what we sow to ensure a good harvest, and more disciplined in the habits of public and private godliness.
When we do so, through these means of grace given by God, we will grow in grace and the fruit of the Holy Spirit will ripen abundantly within us.
---From “Chapter 3: The Fruit of the Holy Spirit”
There are many misunderstandings about the purpose for which God gave spiritual gifts to the church.
Some people treat gifts as "love gifts," saying that their primary purpose is to enrich the recipient and that we should therefore use them for ourselves.
Others treat the gifts as "gifts of worship," believing that the primary purpose of the gifts is to worship God and therefore the primary area for utilizing them is congregational worship.
However, the Bible says that the primary purpose of gifts is to 'edify' the church, that is, to build up the church, and therefore they are 'gifts of service.'

Publisher's Review
You too are a person of the Holy Spirit!
There are indeed many misunderstandings about the teachings of the Holy Spirit.
Because so many people understand the baptism and filling of the Holy Spirit as special experiences for a few.
These teachings trouble many Christians and make it difficult to live a life of faith that should be accompanied by the Holy Spirit.
To such people, John Stott gives them assurance with a warm voice.
You too are a person of the Holy Spirit!
In his introduction to pneumatology, Baptism and the Filling of the Holy Spirit, based on faithful biblical interpretation, John Stott shows that the baptism and filling of the Holy Spirit are promises for all of us.
According to the author, a person who has been baptized in the Holy Spirit is synonymous with a Christian.
And any Christian who has been baptized in the Holy Spirit can be filled with the Holy Spirit if he does not commit sin and lives according to the Word, regardless of who he is.
This message rescues us from the prejudice that the baptism and filling of the Holy Spirit are experiences of a privileged few.
But despite this, there are still people who feel intimidated by the words ‘gift of the Holy Spirit.’
As a pastor, the author knew well where this kind of feeling came from.
This feeling often arises because people's gaze is drawn to the 'list' of gifts.
So, the author helps people point their gaze in the right direction by carefully explaining the 'fruits' and 'gifts' of the Holy Spirit.
In other words, it helps us look at the purpose of the gift, not the list of gifts.
When each individual looks to the purpose for which they have been given their gifts, Christians can free themselves from the burden of comparison and self-deprecation.
Since the purpose of gifts is to build up the church, anyone who contributes even a little to the church is a person who has the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Only by clearing up these misunderstandings about the Holy Spirit can we all confidently live the lives given to us as Christians.
The author organizes our complexly tangled thoughts and invites us to live a life that correctly observes the work of the Holy Spirit working within us.
I recommend this book to readers who would like to respond to this invitation.
