providing a Reformed Perspective on Baptism of the Holy Spirit. Through his work I was able to see the connection between the Holy Spirit’s work in the Old Testament and the fulfillment of the Holy Spirit’s empowerment of Jesus’ followers.

The interceding of the Holy Spirit is one of the benefits of salvation. Because of the nature of mankind even when they are saved there still exists a spiritual conflict in the body. Hence this makes the indwelling of the Holy Spirit important. This paper will concentrate on the interceding work of the Holy Spirit for believers.
