“Baptism in the Spirit is a life-transforming experience of the love of God the Father poured into one’s heart by the Holy Spirit, received through a surrender to the lordship of Jesus Christ. It brings alive sacramental baptism and confirmation, deepens communion with God and with fellow Christians, enkindles evangelistic fervor, and equips a person with charism for service and mission.” International Catholic Charismatic Renewal Services (ICCRS): Baptism in the Holy Spirit, pg. 13

“From the beginning of the Charismatic Renewal (Regina Caeli message, May, 2008), baptism in the Spirit has been experienced as a sovereign gift of God, not dependent on any human merit or activity.” (Benedict VXVI, Angelus message, January, 2008). International Catholic Charismatic Renewal Services (ICCRS): Baptism in the Holy Spirit, pg. 14
