Is the Second Blessing Biblical? My Thoughts And Biblical Response!

The Remnant Radio

What is Second Blessing Theology, and is it biblical? Joshua Lewis unpacks the classical Pentecostal belief that Spirit baptism is a distinct, subsequent event after salvation—often evidenced by speaking in tongues. While Josh is a continuationist who speaks in tongues and values the gifts of the Spirit, he challenges key elements of Second Blessing Theology and the doctrine of initial physical evidence.

📖 We’ll examine the strongest scriptural arguments used to support this view—Acts 2, Acts 8, and Acts 19—and test whether they truly teach a second experience of the Spirit after conversion. We’ll also explore the deeper meaning of Pentecost as the inauguration of the New Covenant, not just a charismatic encounter.

Whether you’re a committed Pentecostal, a curious continuationist, or a cautious skeptic, this episode will help you think theologically, engage Scripture deeply, and pursue the Spirit without dividing the body of Christ.
