Ern Baxter - "A Crisis Beginning - 1" - (Where Are We Going? Series) - Dales Bible Week 1976 - audiotape.

Dr Stanley Jebb on Covenant Theology

"The emphasis should not be on “the covenant” as there are many, but on the God of the covenants and the blessings of the NEW covenant".

Dr Stanley Jebb - "Federal Vision" - Alethinos Reflections - July 28, 2009

Rob Rufus on Receiving New Covenant Promises

"If you have got a condition in your heart of the years of the traditions of men being taught to you that mix law and grace up and put you under condemnation and guilt - that make you think that God is angry with you and God's not very happy with you anymore because of your sin, then your heart has very limited capacity for the seeds of the promises of the New Covenant to germinate and give fruit to".

Rob Rufus - "Being Established In The Gift Of Righteousness" - City Church International, Hong Kong - Sunday 4th January 2009.

John Hosier on 2 Corinthians 5:21

"This is arguably one of the most important verses in the Bible ... It tells us what God did - He sent his Son ... It tells us who Jesus is - He is sinless ... It tells us what Jesus did - He was made sin ... It tells us who we are - the righteousness of God ... It tells us where we are - in Him".

John Hosier - "2 Corinthians 5:21" - Church of Christ the King blog - 25th November 2008

David Carr on the Word of God

"God's Word is the record of all the thoughts, commands, revelations and prophetic utterances that flow from the throne of God. God visited different ones of His servants and inspired them to write His words down under the flow of the Holy Spirit".

David Carr - "The Five Attributes of a Church in Revival" - New Wine Ministries (2006) - (p74).

David Carr on Revival and Angels

"It is fascinating to me that any church that experiences a glimpse of revival will often become aware of the presence of angels. Where the glory of God is manifest and where Jesus is truly worshipped - angels will gather. Angels are, in essence, the protectors of God's glory".

David Carr - "The Five Attributes of a Church in Revival" - New Wine Ministries (2006) - (p39).

David Carr on the Problem in Christian Worship

"We have become skilled at not allowing God to infiltrate the parts of our lives we don't want Him to interfere with".

David Carr - "The Five Attributes of a Church in Revival" - New Wine Ministries (2006) - (p30).

David Carr on the Purpose of Revival

"An outpouring of the Spirit is not for any peripheral purpose other than the perfecting and equipping of His Church".

David Carr - "The Five Attributes of a Church in Revival" - New Wine Ministries (2006) - (p16).

Bill Johnson on the Purpose of Miracles

"One of the major functions of miracles and supernatural living is to offer immediate, irrefutable proof of what God wants to happen on earth. It demonstrates who God is by showing what His reality looks like".

Bill Johnson - "The Supernatural Power of a Transformed Mind" - Destiny Image, Shippensburg (2005) - (p34).

Rob Rufus on Newfrontiers

"It is unique to find a family of people who so fully celebrate the wonder of the New Covenant - who embrace the freedom of grace - embrace the truth of the truth of the Word of God and are not nervous or unafraid of the supernatural power of God".

Rob Rufus - "Being Obedient to Faith" - Newfrontiers Europe Conference - 11th May 2008.

Tom Schreiner on What Happens When the Spirit Comes

"When the Spirit comes, people speak forth God's Word. When Mary visited Elizabeth, the latter was suddenly filled with the Spirit and spoke loudly an oracle from God ... under the inspiration of the Spirit Elizabeth recognised that Mary was carrying the Lord in her womb and that Mary was the object of the Lord's special favour".

Thomas R Schreiner - "New Testament Theology - Magnifying God in Christ" - Apollos, Nottingham (2008) - (p443).

David Holden on New Testament Reality and Experience

"All that God has for us is to be experienced but it will only become a reality when we mix what we hear with faith. In other words it is possible to hear a lot of things but not experience them because when we hear them - we are not combining them with faith in our hearts".

Dave Holden - "Mixing It With Faith" - Newfrontiers Europe Conference - 10th May 2008.

Tom Schreiner on the Power Behind Jesus Ministry

"Such healing and exorcisms occured because "God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power" (Acts 10:38). We note again the close association of the Spirit and power, as in Luke 4:14. The effectiveness of Jesus' ministry, His miracles and healings flowed not from Himself but from the power of the Spirit".

Thomas R Schreiner - "New Testament Theology - Magnifying God in Christ" - Apollos, Nottingham (2008) - (p442).

Tom Schreiner on the Baptism of the Holy Spirit

"When human beings receive the baptism of the Spirit, a new reality will intervene. Jesus will immerse them with the Spirit so that the hearts of His people will be purified".

Thomas R Schreiner - "New Testament Theology - Magnifying God in Christ" - Apollos, Nottingham (2008) - (p439).

Tom Schreiner on the Word "Baptism"

"The word "baptism" signifies a great immersion into the Spirit".

Thomas R Schreiner - "New Testament Theology - Magnifying God in Christ" - Apollos, Nottingham (2008) - (p431).

Tom Schreiner on the Purpose of the Gift of the Spirit

"The Spirit was given to Jesus to accomplish salvation not judgement".

Thomas R Schreiner - "New Testament Theology - Magnifying God in Christ" - Apollos, Nottingham (2008) - (p438).

Tom Schreiner on the Descent of the Spirit

"The descent of the Spirit then must signify Jesus' anointing for ministry. His public ministry will now commence and God clothed Him with the Spirit to empower Him to carry out His task. The Spirit descended on Him as a dove".

Thomas R Schreiner - "New Testament Theology - Magnifying God in Christ" - Apollos, Nottingham (2008) - (p437).

Tom Schreiner on Jesus and the Holy Spirit

"Broadly speaking Jesus' relation to the Spirit can be designated as one of anointing in that the Spirit anointed Jesus for ministry".

Thomas R Schreiner - "New Testament Theology - Magnifying God in Christ" - Apollos, Nottingham (2008) - (p436).

Tom Schreiner on the Coming of the Holy Spirit

"The coming of the Spirit is the hope of the Lord's people, for when the Spirit is sent, God's people will keep His law and reside in the land (Ezekiel 39:29)".

Thomas R Schreiner - "New Testament Theology - Magnifying God in Christ" - Apollos, Nottingham (2008) - (p431).

Tom Schreiner on the Holy Spirit and Prophecy
