A friend of mine has recently published a free short e-book “The Promise of the Spirit: A Reformed View” by Peter Garner. This is available to download now.

It is a very helpful read, and contains such gems as these:

“To be born of the Spirit is one thing; to be baptized in the spirit is quite another. Moreover we should notice that the new birth is described in terms which mark out the Spirit as the Author leading to Jesus as the object of faith, whereas Spirit-baptism is by Jesus Himself, the Spirit being the One into Whom we are baptized.”

“Surely the terms used here indicate an experiential acquaintance with God which is actually seriously lacking among many genuine believers today. Do all our converts actually testify to such an experience of “rivers of living water””
