Description:

When placed within a wider context of understanding the various ways in which the Spirit is present, it becomes apparent that the Pentecostal understanding of subsequence is only one instance of a subsequential experience of Spirit-filling. Given that we live in a Spirit-filled world, subsequent experiences of Spirit-filling can be seen in all believers as well as in the life of the Church and in the life of Jesus Christ. All of these experiences of being filled by the Spirit (and Spirit baptism in particular) may be expressed with the metaphor of the intensity of the Spirit.
