There is a emphasis and trust in the word "doctrine" in the North American Church. We highly value the idea of a logical doctrine statement above life and an experience of the doctrine or teaching. Sadly this error has led people to be right about doctrine but wrong in experience. Jesus Christ taught that if we are not "born-again" in our spirits we will not see or enter the kingdom of heaven.
This is important that even if we believe to be "born-again" is right that does not mean we have that experience. The baptism of the Holy Spirit also is more than an experience. Christ in you the hope of glory is the privilege of every children of God. May we desire an actual experiencing of the truth we read.
When we have the promise of God (The living Holy Spirit) in our hearts we know that Christ is with us in power and we will be able to preach His Gospel, live His Gospel that will bring a testimony for His Name in this present world.
Here is an excerpt of a larger message on the "Baptism of the Holy Spirit" by Denny Kenaston that is in the soon to be released Principles for the Gathering of Believers book:
MORE THAN A DOCTRINAL STATEMENT
You know Him, he is with you, but He shall be in you. Now do you think that the Lord Jesus was giving those apostles a doctrinal teaching when He said those words to them, or do you think he was trying to help them to understand that they would have a totally different experience after that day? How many of you think he was giving him a doctrinal statement? [no one] Good.
Now it is a doctrinal statement, don’t misunderstand me. It is a doctrinal statement, but that is not all it is. “He dwelleth with you and He shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless, I will come to you.”869 Just picture that. He’s been with them for three and a half years. Every problem they had, they just went and said, “Lord what should we do?” It was all cared for. Every question they had, they just went to Him and said, “Well Lord, we don’t understand this, could you explain it?”, and He gave them the answer. Every situation that they faced: “We have all of these people who need to eat, we don’t know what to do with them,” He took care of it.
But now they were standing on the Mount of Olives and he just disappeared out of their sight. But now it’s the day after Pentecost and they understand. He didn’t leave us comfortless.

“Christianity was birthed in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and will only continue as we have this empowering from above. God is always looking for the willing vessels that will trust Him afresh for the impossible.” from: Principles for the gathering of Believers under the Headship of Jesus Christ.Since 2012, a growing group of believers in North America started to warn of coming persecution to western countries. This message was shared in a variety of ways. One of the responses to this was to compile a book taking principles from underground Churches around the world of how they thrived under pressure and persecution. The volume, Principles for the Gathering of Believers, had in a short time over 50,000 downloads in ebook format and much interest was shown. Some new house churches started through this and other existing groups were encouraged.
