The Foolishness of God. Tuesday, August 31, 2010. The Baptism of the Holy Spirit - I Corinthians 12:13. Spirit baptism is one of the key issues that differentiates Charismatic/Pentecostal believers from other Christians, and I Corinthians 12:13 is one of the key verses that they say demonstrates that there are two baptisms of the Spirit, not just one.
