When Jesus was baptised he was filled with the Spirit and began a life that was totally dependant on the power of the Spirit, rather than his own divinity. Without understanding this, we will not be able to see Jesus as our example in the Christian life. He was the pioneer and led the way for us. <A HREF="http://loveintruth.com/amf-docs/flesh1.htm" REL="nofollow"> I wrote a study on this years ago</A> before went on to I realize it's implication for supernatural power in the life of the believer. <BR/><BR/>I would second Eric's recommendation of "Are the Miraculous Gifts for Today, Four Views", particularly Sam Storm's section.
