Summarising all the previous messages on these churches.

On the Jewish feast day of Pentecost, Jesus’ disciples were filled with the Holy Ghost.

As in the early Christian Church, the Revival Fellowship baptises people by full immersion in water.

The Bible records an experience that empowers and changes people’s lives. It is called the baptism or infilling of the Holy Spirit. The book of Acts contains many accounts of people being filled with the Holy Spirit, and speaking in tongues.

Speaking in tongues is the sound heard when someone is filled with the Holy Spirit. It is the initial external evidence of being filled with the Holy Spirit.

God is a healing God. He wants to restore people and make them whole. Healing has been one of God’s promises throughout all of mankind’s existence.

The writings and prophecies of the Bible throw light on the past, present and future. They leave us in no doubt that Jesus is returning to the earth.
