Slow process.
Been working on the rooms and simplifying them though it's not as simple as that, I cannot give an ETA but I am still trying to work on them with everything else I have going on.
We're Back! well sort of we still do not have chatrooms. I (cbb) will be working on them as I have time since I have to basically rewrite them for php5.
The Boards have changed so you will need to re-register. Once the chats are back you will have to re-register as well. I will attempt to link the logins to both boards and chats, we'll see how that works.

On the Baptism of the Holy Spirit
We believe that the "baptism in the Holy Spirit" is an additional impartation which may be subsequent to regeneration (see Acts 8:15-17 and 19:1-6). This baptism is usually accompanied by the gifts of the Spirit, such as speaking in tongues, prophecy, etc.
We believe that this gift is presently available to all who believe (Acts 2:38-39), but is not essential for salvation or regeneration. While these are accomplished by the Holy Spirit (Acts 19:1-7), there were disciples who did not even know that there was a Holy Spirit. Just as Paul made it a priority to instruct those believers and pray for them to receive this gift, we are committed to doing the same.
The purpose of the baptism in the Holy Spirit is to impart spiritual power to the believer to be a witness (Acts 1:8, 5:32). This baptism is to be distinguished from being filled with the Spirit (Acts 4:31, 7:55, 13:9,52), which can be a special and repeated empowering for specific purposes.
We believe that when Christians truly have been baptized with the Holy Spirit, they should begin to take on His nature and fruit, becoming "helpers" and "comforters", leading others into truth, and testifying of Jesus.
