Mark Galli, “Did the Spirit Really Say…?: God’s will is harder and easier to discern than we imagine” Christianity Today Online.
In this web-only article, the senior managing editor of Christianity Today, Mark Galli, writes about an encounter with the Holy Spirit while attending the Pentecostal World Conference, “While I don’t call myself a Pentecostal, I am sure that Pentecostals would accept some of my spiritual experiences as evidence of ‘Spirit baptism,’ and thus welcome me into the fold. So there is much in the movement that I resonate with. Personal negotiations with the Spirit would be one of these things.”
