The book of Acts begins with the outpouring of God's promised Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost. As a result, the preaching of the gospel and the witness of the newly formed church sparks a flame that spreads across the Roman Empire. The opening of Acts discloses a primary theme throughout the book. As believers are empowered by the Holy Spirit they bear witness to the message of salvation in Jesus Christ. This is how the church is established and continues to grow, spreading locally and then…

become confusing when people begin to explain it, easily falling into God being three gods or a single god playing three different roles. When Christians say the word, “God” it is the simplification of the proper name of God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This conundrum of three and one can be explained by what it means for…

When reading paragraph six what stood out most was the emphasis on the sacrament of the Eucharist being the essential part of the Catholic faith. The Church is built upon the foundation of Christ’s sacrifice which is made eternal through the Eucharist. One has their faith because of their belief in the Eucharist, “Faith and the Sacraments are two complementary aspects of ecclesial life” (Sacramentum Caritatis Paragraph 6). The Eucharist enables one to grow in faith and it is because of faith…

“The gifts of the Spirit are all prophetic, wisdom, revelation guidance, and oracular speech (including tongues)” Turner said that a Christian obtains those gifts even when they do not belong to a Pentecostal charismatic group.

love that has immersed and filled our soul with the Holy Spirit from on high. When the sound of the rushing wind hit, it was but an instant when all the house shook. No sooner than that happened cloven tongues of fire set upon each of their foreheads, and they began to speak in a different language. Mass confusion? no but the power and glory of God filled that upper room that day. Out of the status quo came a glorious infilling of God’s Holy spirit that has made its mark on people all over the…

parting their ways is because they had different instruction by the Holy Spirit. Barnabas, which was full of the Holy Spirit (Acts 11:24), he persuaded the Jerusalem disciples to receive Paul (9:27). He was sent to receive the Gentiles at Antioch (11:19-24). He guided Paul from Tarsus to Antioch (11:25, 26). He came with Paul on his first missionary journey and accompanied Paul on his first missionary journey. It was the Holy Spirit that told Barnabas and Saul (Paul) to separate for a good…

offspring of man alluded to in Jesus’ title Son of Man are not physical sons but spiritual sons in that God’s spirit is passed on as a light over and over. The Inclusion of God the Spirit implies that God is everyone—at least everyone who believes in and accepts Jesus Christ—on account of his spirit being given to all who believe in Him.
