You write, "most advocates of the PCP and UCD doctrines ignoring it, often because of ignorance of its existence. "
That seems to be accurate. When I started my own study of BHS more than 15 years ago, I could only find a few scattered references to the HBV and quite honestly was not sure anyone still even held to it. So I appreciate you bringing this out and sharing the resources and names of folks who still hold this view.
The Biblical/historic Baptist position does not recognize baptism of the Holy Spirit because this phrase is never found in Scripture. We are sealed and indwelt with the Holy Spirit upon salvation. We have spiritual gifts that each member exercises in the nt church body. But this is not a baptism. There was a baptism "with the Holy Ghost as promised of the Lord on apostolic church. It was -as the lord described – an empowerment. It was to happen in the four places as promised (Jerusalem, Judea,Samaria and the uttermost part), and so it did. The errant premise of a spirit baptism is a Protestant doctrine to replace the "one baptism" of the NT church (Eph 4:5) with an invisible mystical one. Essentially, Baptists that embrace this doctrine are ultimately Protestant, having given over the Lord's ordinance. Also, a mystical baptism demands a mystical "church".
