The Importance of the Holy Spirit in the New Covenant

Swain: If we think that the Holy Spirit has nothing to do with children, then what is Paul kind of mandating here? raise a bunch of little Pharisees. But when they're 12 or when they go off to middle school camp or whatever, then they'll become regenerate maybe and it can be real. Swain: This understanding in the New Covenant makes more sense of some very hard biblical texts than I think the other is understanding. And historically, it actually played a big role in historic baptismal liturgies.
