7 Vital Steps to Recieving the Holy Spirit
This is a must read for anyone wishing to know what the bible says about the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. I highly recommend this book.

Great Book
This book is very easy to read and gives simple steps to receiving God's greatest gift! A must read for anyone desiring a closer walk with God!

Good Basic Guide for the Infilling
Hagin has written an easy to read tome that if followed will result in the infilling of the Holy Spirit. However, the steps outlined seem to coincide with Hagin's experience at times rather than the Word. Not to say that it isn't Word-based but there are some things that seem to be based more on his ministry experience.

For instance, Hagin states that if you pray for the infilling and do not "sense" anything moving upon you, you have a lack of faith. And if you do "sense" something but do not yield, it is a lack of yielding.

First, the Holy Spirit is received by faith not by a "sensing". The book of Acts makes no statement that proves the veracity of Hagin's claim. Second, if a person doesn't speak forth, it doesn't necessarily mean that they did not receive; it only means that they did not cooperate due to fear or lack of instruction.

I know many readers hold to the "initial evidence" to such an extent that they feel that unless you speak in tongues, you weren't filled. But I would suggest a little thought and meditation along this line to my friends.

Since we receive by faith, and since it is our job to speak (the Holy Spirit will not do it for us) it is possible for God to do His part and for us to fail to do our part. Don't get me wrong, tongues were the evidence in Acts to prove to the Apostles one had received but they used this as a gauge since they couldn't see nor hear the Spirit without some manifestation. And it was also the fulfillment of Joel's prophecy--"This is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel."

However, it is possible for one to be filled and yet not speak in tongues for a variety of reasons. Some of the Bible teachers who believe this are: Jay Snell, Kenneth Copeland, Andrew Wommack, and Dave Roberson, among others.

Otherwise, a good book for outlining the basic steps.
