“I want you to keep in mind that I'm still in the process of changing, I'm going to share with you my viewpoint today, I may change it in 2 weeks or in 2 years, I don't know...I'm just not sure I've yet fully worked out a scenario that I can live with long term. But here are my best thoughts on the subject...From time to time we will have a valid experience with an invalid label. At this time my perception is that that is what has occurred with the issue of the baptism of the Holy Spirit...At this point in time I have come full circle from an evangelical theology of filling of the Spirit, through an experience and a theology that embraced what we would call classic Pentecostal...now I've come back to a place where I think I started theologically, but I've added a dimension of experience.”
