This chart contrasts Traditional Dispensationalism and Progressive Dispensationalism on the Baptism with the Holy Spirit (SB). It shows where the two systems agree (SB is not present in the Old Testament) and where they diverge: whether SB is foretold in the OT, whether it is a blessing of the New Covenant, whether it continues into a future dispensation, and whether all saints in the future will experience it.
