What is Second Blessing Theology, and is it biblical? Joshua Lewis unpacks the classical Pentecostal belief that Spirit baptism is a distinct, subsequent event after salvation—often evidenced by speaking in tongues. While Josh is a continuationist who speaks in tongues and values the gifts of the Spirit, he challenges key elements of Second Blessing Theology and the doctrine of initial physical evidence.
📖 We’ll examine the strongest scriptural arguments used to support this view—Acts 2, Acts 8, and Acts 19—and test whether they truly teach a second experience of the Spirit after conversion. We’ll also explore the deeper meaning of Pentecost as the inauguration of the New Covenant, not just a charismatic encounter.
Whether you’re a committed Pentecostal, a curious continuationist, or a cautious skeptic, this episode will help you think theologically, engage Scripture deeply, and pursue the Spirit without dividing the body of Christ.
