BTW, I have a little bit of a problem with your continued labeling of myself and others as three-steppers. There are truly only two steps a new believer makes - repentance and baptism. Obedience to those two commands is our responsibility. The outpouring of the Spirit is GOD's responsibility.
Period.

What about these folks who have a hard time receiving the Baptism of the Holy Ghost? Was God just waiting around until they prayed hard enough to be able to receive his gift?????? The baptism of the Holy Ghost is a free gift and it is up to US to receive it. I have always thought that his spirit will fill a willing person. Therefore, it is a step for us.
