the baptism in the holy spirit |

Acts 1:8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."
The enduement of power from heaven has been an ongoing quest for me. I am convinced through a study of the scriptures that there is a work of the Holy Spirit that he will do for each Christian to empower them to perform His will. It is obvious that without the power of the Holy Spirit nothing of any real spiritual values can be done. Witnessing without the Holy Spirit is pointless arguing. Good works are meaningless unless directed by the Holy Spirit. In fact Christianity is very frustrating with the word of the Holy Spirit in my life.
I have received the baptism in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues. It has enabled me to sustain faith in the face of terrible circumstances. I still pray in tongues nearly every day in order to maintain the power of the Spirit in my life. What a wonderful gift the Lord has given to His church to edify and build...

Pastoral Salaries - Or The Lack Thereof
I am going to walk a 'fine line' in writing about this issue (both from a private policy issue, and the fact that people never like to talk about money) but none the less, this is an issue I feel we NEED to discuss!
There has been a lot of internet chatter recently about the lowering of pastoral salaries over the last 10 years - or more correctly, the failure to increase salaries as expected and done in every other line of work.
From The Churches Point Of View:
What I have done is taken the last 106 Open Positions listed at the 'Assemblies of God Jobs Online' website and averaged them out in order to discover the average salary that pastors are making on a monthly/yearly basis.
Based upon the last 106 posted Open Positions, on a monthly basis an average North American Assemblies of God minister is going to make: $2184.08 - which works out to $26,208.96 per year.
Now, before you go and say "wow, most be a lot of small churches posting jobs!", I can share with you that one very predominate church we have had join and list...

The Washington Times did an article about this year marking the 100th anniversary of the Los Angeles-based revival that emerged to become one of the 20th century's most significant religious events.... The Azusa Street Revival.
In doing some research on this, earlier this morning, I came across to interesting online articles about it.
The first is "William J. Seymour and the Azusa Street Revival" was written by Gary B. McGee Ph.D., a professor of church history at the Assemblies of God Theological Seminary, Springfield, Missouri.
This article has a fair amount of photographs of some of the "early days" and goes into details of The Welsh Revival, details a fair amount of information about William J. Seymour, and at the very end of the 4-page article is a photograph of some of early leaders of the Azusa Street Mission, dated 1907.
The second article is from wikipedia, and perhaps the most interesting point that is brings out is this Azusa's "five-fold doctrine".
Azusa's "five-fold doctrine" was:
salvation;
sanctification or holiness;
tongues as evidence of Spirit baptism;
divine healing;
the "very soon" return of Christ.
Anyway, I've been planning to try to make it to the...
