Why do baptists deny the gifts of the Holy Spirit?
I don’t know too many Baptists that deny the gifts of the Holy Spirit. I know one Baptist church in my community recently went through a sermon series on finding your spiritual gift. If you could possibly provide a link or who ran the program, so I can get a better judgment on it. As for now, I think it’s a false generalization to say that Baptists deny the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Thanks for the link, I found it enlightening as far as what was taught. I contacted a Baptist pastor and he informed me that the ABA (American Baptist Association) nor the SBC (Southern Baptist Convention) officially teach that the gifts of the Holy Spirit are no more. But, unlike some denominations (Methodists, Catholic, Wesleyan, etc) the Baptists are autonomous and rarely if ever come under scrutiny from the association unless the teaching is blatantly heretical. So it is possible that this church is teaching that the gifts of the Holy Spirit as just an emotional experience only from this Baptist church
