"Now with respect to that theology it was not, nor is it now, monolithic; not everybody in the charismatic movement shares exactly the same theological understanding of it. Yet at the same time, there are some basic ingredients that have become pretty much central to neo-Pentecostal theology. And I am not going to deal with all of them today, but one of the most significant aspects of the emerging charismatic theology was the idea that it is normal, or even normative, for people to have what is understood as the “Baptism of the Holy Spirit” after their conversion. It is admitted that some people can have conversion or regeneration simultaneously with the so called “second blessing,” or the baptism of the Holy Spirit. But in the main, the usual normal process is understood to have some kind of time differential between conversion or regeneration, and the receiving of the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Now, it’s that particular point that I want to address today, because I think the fundamental weakness of neo-Pentecostal, or charismatic theology, is that, in my opinion, its view of Pentecost is too low, and that its understanding of the significance of Pentecost in redemptive history differs from the Apostles’ understanding of that experience."
