Speaking Of John Piper....
...Adrian Warnock is quoting him on Holy Spirit baptism. Essentially Piper believes in the phenomena, but the vision he presents for it is radically different than the standard Pentecostal one. The "marks" that Piper cites are praise (which may or may not be expressed in tongues) and obedience.
Defined in this fashion, I have no beef with the concept, but this is radically different than the classical presentation of the pehnomena. I would be happier if we could find a different term for what Piper describes, so as to avoid confusion with the more widespread defintion of "Holy Spirit Baptism" which carries with it the overwhelming implication of the miraculous signs.
