Baptism with the Holy Spirit

Again, thank you for the opportunity to discuss Faith with you! The first principal of the gospel is Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. As you mentioned in your essay: In Hebrews 11: 1 we read “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Alma 32: 21 from the Book of Mormon says “faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye have faith ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true.” Faith for us is things hoped for and we have not…

understands prayer as a personal relationship with the Triune God. God the Father, Son and a big aspect is the Holy Spirit. Pentecostal Christians demonstrate adoration, confession, thanksgiving and supplication in their prayer time. Pentecostal prayer can also include speaking in tongues. “And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit was giving them utterance”. (Acts…

However, God sees people differently. Mankind was created in the image of God. We were made in the likeness of the perfect holy One (Gen. 1:26-27). Each and every person is carefully crafted by God and is wonderfully made (Ps. 139:13-14) Yet, sin demolished the relationship we had with God. Now, separated from God, men are slaves to sin (Rom. 5:18-19). The entire human race…

(DeCelles C.) Christ is however fully God because he is born of the Spirit and fully human, being born of Mary. “Unlike other men, He never sinned. Appointed Savior by God, He is the sole mediator between man and God.” (DeCelles C.) Christ was sent here to earth to pay our debt, so that we might be forgiven of our sins and…

The doctrine of depravity says that man is as bad off as he can be. There is a vast difference between being as bad as he can be, and being as bad off as he can be. The doctrine of depravity has to do, not with man’s estimation of man, but rather with God’s estimation of man. (Pentecost 9-10) The doctrine of depravity has to do not so much with man’s conduct as with man’s state. It has to do not so much with man’s behavior as with his condition before God. In Galatians 3:22 we read, “…the…

Charismatic Communicators There are many charismatic communicators around the world. Many are now dead and left a legacy of being a charismatic communicator and others well they are on their way. The definition of Charismatic is “Spiritually endowed; divinely inspired or having power to command” (The Readers Digest Great Encyclopedia Dictionary622).

1425-1428, oil on oak) in this painting. Of course, mainly because Rogier van der Weyden was a student of Robert Campin. But in my opinion, there is this very similar spirituality that is laid down on both paintings, and it was something that Robert could teach Rogier, it was something they both had (and possibly what established their connection.) In “The Mérode Altarpiece” “the smallest details are meticulously worked to reflect reality on a two-dimensional plane. Illusionistic effects are…

convenient. For the bible says “Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and dissension. Likewise, I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing modestly and discreetly. Not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments.” (The Holy Bible KJV 1 Timothy 2:9).
