Baptism of the Holy Spirit (BHS), AI Helps & Hazards of sorting out the BHS
I suspect most will reflexively note, not such mystery at all, is this continuing denominational schism over BHS. Ever run a search on the Baptism with the Holy Spirit (BHS) on past CC posts? Really! Unless the algorithms aren’t treating me well, the subject isn’t very visible, at least not for rudimentary teachings such as BHS. Why focus on BHS? Or why consider the possibility of acquiring ‘’power from on high’’ without being high-minded? At the very least, why not for the simple joy in His kingdom,
If the student of the word went for an understanding of it, it would appear to him to be a largely a non-frequented or toxic subject. That is entirely unfortunate. Due to the fact of wide-spread disunity over the teaching of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, and though leadership agrees with it's teaching, a continual silence on it if they wish to retain membership. Also unfortunate is to experience watering down the truth till there is nothing left. The masses should be able to recognize this!
Has this rudimentary truth been shelved?
So, this interest of mine isn’t over the accuracy of AI, but the condition of BHS among the flock of God. No matter where a dogma or doctrine has originated or evolved into, does it hold up to God’s will as shown in His word? The gathering I assigned to AI was interesting. That doesn’t mean it was correct in all instances. Nevertheless, I suspect, the Baptism in/with/of the Holy Spirit lack of visibility is due to a small variety of factors. Here is an un-edited gathering from AI why that is, all AI commentary in blue, you may want to do the same for all subsequent AI-generated text if so inclined.
AI Definition of BHS Reluctance:
The BHS is a profound spiritual experience that signifies the infilling of the Holy Spirit in a believer's life. This event is often accompanied by various spiritual gifts, such as speaking in tongues, prophecy, and greater boldness in faith. However, despite its significance, the BHS often lacks visibility in many contemporary Christian discussions and teachings.
Several reasons contribute to this lack of visibility. Firstly, theological differences among Christian denominations lead to varied interpretations and emphasis on the BHS. While Pentecostal and Charismatic movements place a strong focus on this experience, other denominations may regard it as less central to their faith practice. Secondly, cultural shifts and secular influences have led to a general decline in spiritual discussions within public and private spheres.
Moreover, the rise of individualism in modern societies has often relegated communal and spiritual experiences to the background. The emphasis on personal belief systems and the privatization of faith have further diminished the collective acknowledgment and discussion of the BHS. Consequently, many believers may experience the BHS in isolation, without the support or understanding of their broader faith community.
Addressing this lack of visibility requires a renewed commitment to fostering open, inclusive conversations about the BHS within Christian communities. By sharing personal testimonies, engaging in theological dialogues, and educating believers about the significance and benefits of the BHS, the Christian faith can reintroduce this vital aspect of spiritual life into the collective consciousness.
I appeal to you, brothers and sisters,

divisions among you, but that you be
perfectly united in mind and thought.
