REFLECTIONS ON THE PENTECOSTAL DOCTRINE OF ‘BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT,’II

REFLECTIONS ON THE PENTECOSTAL DOCTRINE OF ‘BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT,’II Footnotes 1 See my book Did You Receive the Spirit? (London, 1972), Appendix Two, pp. 113ff, where I give more evidence for the teaching that spiritual experience should be normal for all Christians.

It is not so much that every Christian should have interior experience of God, as that the Church should always and everywhere be able to appeal to ‘this which you see and hear’ (Acts 2:33).

Athanasius, de Znc. 48).

Abstract

Footnotes 1 See my book Did You Receive the Spirit? (London, 1972), Appendix Two, pp. 113ff, where I give more evidence for the teaching that spiritual experience should be normal for all Christians. However, I think that the oldest and most persistent form of the appeal to experience refers to miracles rather than mystical illumination, and this is obviously pertinent to the whole matter of Pentecostalism. It is not so much that every Christian should have interior experience of God, as that the Church should always and everywhere be able to appeal to ‘this which you see and hear’ (Acts 2:33). This is the great confidence of the Apologists (e.g. St Justin Martyr, First Apology I, 14ff.; Dial. 85, l‐N.B. hyp’ opsin ); anyone who wishes can examine the evidence and even experiment to discover the power of the Name of Jesus (cf. Athanasius, de Znc. 48). It would require a separate article to develop this fully, but it does suggest that there may be a certain imbalance in the later tendency to shift to spiritual awareness (Symeon's ‘perceptibly but not visibly’, clearly in reaction against the Messalians’‘perceptibly and visibly’: cf.
