I would not say that God is "benefited" and he has "need" of nothing... so given these choices I guess it would be mostly for the benefit of the person doing the speaking.

Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945
