Summary

What is Second Blessing Theology, and is it biblical? Joshua Lewis unpacks the classical Pentecostal belief that Spirit baptism is a distinct, subsequent event after salvation—often evidenced by speaking in tongues. While Josh is a continuationist who speaks in tongues and values the gifts of the Spirit, he challenges key elements of Second Blessing Theology and the doctrine of initial physical evidence. 📖 We’ll examine the strongest scriptural arguments used to support this view—Acts 2, Act...

Hey guys, Joshua Lewis here with Remnant Radio, and I'll tell you about Rimcon this spring in San Diego, California.

0:06.8

The dates are February 5th through the 7th, and the subject of the conference is growing in the Gifts of the Spirit.

0:12.3

You can join us there in person or via live stream, and what you're going to get out of that conference is some serious theological training on the gifts of the Spirit.

0:22.6

What are they? How do they operate?

0:28.1

There's also going to be opportunities to break out and practice spiritual gifts in a kind of biblical,

0:33.9

safe, and orderly way. We've got lectures from myself, Michael Miller, Michael Roundtry, John Mark Baker, from the Minor Prophets, and Dr. Sam Storms. So if you're looking to move beyond just

1:29.3

I've experienced them, I've practiced them, and I encourage others to participate in them likewise.

1:34.3

But I am not a Pentecostal, at least not in the classical sense.

1:38.3

I was raised in a classical Pentecostal denomination, and I have great admiration and love for this tradition.

1:44.5

However, I don't hold to Second Blessing Framework that says that the Spirit Baptism is a separate
