What it feels like
Reading this book feels like sitting in a rigorous, scripture-focused theology class where the text itself is the ultimate authority. The pace is steady and methodical, guiding the reader through complex doctrines of salvation, grace, and baptism with an earnest, didactic tone. It cultivates a contemplative and spiritually focused mood, stripping away personal opinion to let biblical verses speak directly to the mechanics of conversion and the Pentecostal experience. The prose is direct and authoritative, building a comprehensive framework for understanding spiritual rebirth. It will deeply satisfy readers who crave a thorough, no-nonsense theological study that anchors every claim about faith, repentance, and the Holy Spirit firmly in biblical text and church history.

About the book
"The New Birth" is a very thorough biblical view on being born again. It covers Salvation questions and issues, Grace and Faith, The Gospel of Jesus Christ, The Birth of Water and Spirit, Repentance, Water Baptism, Baptismal formula, Baptism of the Holy Spirit, Speaking in Tongues, The Witness in Church History: Baptism and Tongues, and more! The good thing about David K. Bernard is he doesn't offer HIS opinion, he simply lets the bible speak for itself.
