Holy Spirit

the Holy Spirit a. I believe that the Holy Spirit possesses personhood. The Holy Spirit has intelligence, emotions, and will. I believe the Holy Spirit is an “it” and is not a “force.” The Holy Spirit has intellect and knowledge like God, Isaiah 11:2 “The Spirit of the Lord will rest on Him, The spirit of counsel and strength, The spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.” II. The Deity of the Holy Spirit a. I believe the Holy Spirit is fully divine and is a part of the Trinity. The Holy…

had the discussion over the beliefs Christians have about the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity who takes everything God has for us and brings it to us. In the Bible, we find that there are five truths about God which are known as there is one God, the Father is God, Jesus is God, the Holy Spirit is God, and the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are distinct persons (UCF Class Discussion, 11/10/16). The Holy Spirit frees us from sin, along with helping us understand what…

Jesus Christ today, just as the disciples needed the power of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, so we need to be filled with the Holy Spirit for our effective witness for Jesus. Just as Jesus Christ went about his ministry by the power of the Holy Spirit, it was by the same Spirit that was given…

In this chapter for understanding the Holy Spirit the author focuses on the Old Testament mainly in Genesis, and Palms, but he also mentions Job and other Old Testament books. The author begins by showing the reader where we first see the Holy Spirit in the Bible which is in Genesis 1:1-2. At the very beginning people who read the Bible are able to see that God and the Spirit was there when creating the world. Wright puts it as “the powerful Spirit of God in the beginning was hovering, poised…

To know and understand through the revelation of the Spirit of God, the eternal oneness of Jesus the "Son", Jesus the "Father", and Jesus the "Holy Spirit". That He was and is before all things and that by him "all things consist". That Jesus is the fullness of the Godhead bodily and without controversy great is that mystery of Godliness. Even though man in his finite thinking gradually gravitated away from the leading of the Holy Spirit through the centuries, God has still through Jesus Christ…

“The Holy Spirit work within you, that being born through water and the Spirit, you may be a faithful disciple of Jesus Christ. Amen.” This is the liturgy used by United Methodist Clergy when a human being of any age is baptized into the kingdom of God. The methods of invoking the Holy Spirit may be the choice of sprinkling, pouring or immersion. All three methods are acceptable in the United Methodist denomination. The “Baptismal Covenant is a Holy Baptism, by which we are incorporated…

The Holy Spirit is the most active and prevalent person of the Godhead in our daily lives (Smith, Importance). As believers, understanding the work of the Holy Spirit is important. “A Christian is one who has received Jesus Christ; a Christian is one who displays Christ living through his life, and this is accomplished by the work of the indwelling Holy Spirit” (Ryrie 9). As Christians, we can know the Spirit’s presence by witnessing it in our own lives (Swindoll 258). In my life, His presence…

The Gifts of the Holy Spirit are special abilities provided by the Holy Spirit to Christians for the purpose of building up the Body of Christ. In my opinion, the Holy Spirit is a tree and the gifts of the Holy Spirit are the leaves. The branches connect each leaf, somehow relating to the other. A family starts off with the grandparents; they also known as wisdom and knowledge. After the grandparents, the parents come next- understanding and right judgment. After the parents, the children -…

The Holy Spirit will manifest the present need of the people through you, which might not necessarily meant speaking in tongues. God will give you the utterance to speak in tongues if and only if it will be of great benefit to the people around you. The genuine speaking in tongues from God has no pride and does not cause confusion or distraction in the House of the Lord. Act chapter 10 verses 44 say: “Even as Peter was saying these things, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who had heard the…

name of the Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit”. These words characterize a Christian and Catholic mass. Through mass, when beginning or ending a prayer, each member of the church makes the sign of the cross and mutters these famous words. The Father, The Son, The Holy Spirit. For centuries, Christians have debated the relationship between the three within the Trinity. The most common belief among Christians is that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are three entities apart of one…
