Baptism with the Holy Spirit

Moses defines the timing and requirements that God imparted to him. Passover, Feast of Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, Festival of Weeks (Pentecost), Feast of Trumpets, The Day of Atonement, and finally The Feast of Tabernacles make up these required holy observances. These occasions look back to memorize past events and forward symbolically. Of these, Jesus uses the Feast of Tabernacles to reveal symbols of Himself embedded in its practices. An evaluation of the key rituals of the…

He struggled with greed and gluttony. He never knew when to stop drinking or partying. The Sacrament that St Francis of Assisi is connected to most is Confirmation. After he found God, he looked toward the Holy Spirit and the fruits of the Holy Spirit to guide him going on in his preachings. There were three fruits, especially, that Francis chose to act out in his Christian life. They were charity, goodness, and faithfulness. He would perform charity and goodness by helping…

over again. The Word is Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ is God. So it is there that our relationship with God starts. If God revealed through His Word moves us to confess Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we can then know God on another level as the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:11). Through this relationship we get a deeper expression of God’s glory and power to carry us through until that day when we will reside in eternity in the presence of God in all His glory and power (Revelation 21). But that is…

Christian worship is “built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord” (Ephesians 2:20-21 NASB). Therefore, worship is vital to fulfilling the spirit of God. Since religion is essential to the will of God, as a Christian, it is also crucial to find the place of worship applicable to meet you worship needs. This paper will discuss a typical…

Through reading the book, Delighting in the Trinity, I discovered how God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit are all connected and how that affects my life today. I learned what God desires for his people and how He wishes for us to live a full and flourishing life. As I continue my journey at Taylor University I see how God wants us to live together in fellowship and love one another with the same love God has for us. Reading Michael Reeves book has helped me see the love God has for me. I…

confidence to someone who has never met? The book of Romans, written from Corinth by the Apostle Paul to the Roman church in 56-57 A.D. is considered one of the best expositions of the Gospel (Hindson & Towns 2016). This exposition, inspired by the Holy Spirit, strengthen the faith of the Roman believers, and strengthen the worldview through which they endured fierce persecution, and is able to sharpen the Christian worldview of believers through all time: “For I am not ashamed of the gospel,…

you could say that people is worshipping him he could just be doing everything to gain attention and grow his own popularity with people. People also look at they are worshipping instead of God himself, that’s why we believe in the holy trinity; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This way the Son is the Father and the Father is the Son. This way people worship Jesus they in fact are worshipping God, because they are one in the same. I like this because it clears one counter argument about Jesus being…

As the body of Christ (the Church) redefined itself again and again throughout history, believers were hard-pressed to embrace and work through the multiple denominations amongst them. Fast-forward centuries and thousands of denominations later, and we find the Church at odds against the idea (or the classification) of evangelicalism. In Kevin J. Vanhoozer and Daniel J. Treier’s Theology and the Mirrors of Scripture: A Mere Evangelical Account, they raise the awareness that the problem of…

I’m proud to say and declare God as my everything, my one, and only savior. Through my short lifetime, I’m proud to say that I have made it this far because His holy grace alights over me and my life, all my success, victories, achievements, and accomplishments are because of Him. God save me and my family from the darkness, He amended my parents’ marriage that was about to end, He freed me from an aimlessly future but of bad self-teem and lack of love. Every day I see God through the simplest…
