When on-going holiness of life, achieved by the anointing of the Holy Ghost, is removed from centrality in the plan of salvation, the doctrine of baptisms receives central stress for accomplishing remission of sins, leaving teachers to account for the fate of the hypocrite while conjecturing on exceptions to the power of the new birth.
Since only the baptism of the Holy Ghost communicates the Spirit of God into the life of the Christian, and the New Testament documents this experience as providing the power to yield testimony of the eternal life of Jesus Christ, it is demonstrated that the anointing of God is fulfilled in the Spirit baptism.
The baptism of the Holy Spirit is an essential part of salvation for the New Testament church age (the new birth) and not a separate experience subsequent to salvation.
