Holy Spirit

as deriving from the Father and progressing toward sinful humanity through the mediation of the Son. Grace is not giving us what we deserve. Jesus came as the only way to salvation. Grace is a gift from God through Jesus Christ and the work of the Holy…

The Christian doctrine of the holy trinity holds that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are the three forms of God, how God does not only exist as a personal Spirit beings, but in the Trinity. As Dr. Walter Martin states that no one can fully explains the Trinity even though there have been propounded theories and hypothesis over the years, the Trinity is still largely incomprehensible, defy human’s logic and reason. Some aspects of the Trinity can be made sense, the union of all three…

The Holy Spirit is “in the category of the Self-existent” in that He is not something that was begotten in time. Nazienzus’ opponents try to suggest that the Holy Spirit is some sort of cosmic accident caused by the will of God, but this is nonsensical. How can an accident fill people like John the Baptist and Sampson to do such mighty works in the name of the Lord, yet be subverted to the role of a cosmic accident? The Holy Spirit is not simply an activity either, for the Holy Spirit “has all…

immanent Trinity and the economic Trinity, explaining “the one yet threefold agency of Father, Son, and Spirit in the “economy” of salvation” and “the eternal distinction of “persons” within the being of God.” (Migliore 71) The purpose of this preaching about the Trinity is to speak the love of God. I would exhort congregation to start to experience the “Great Love” with God in the Holy Spirit through Jesus…

2008, p.323). The reason behind this was the apostolic preaching was focused on the good news, and not the divinity of the Holy Spirit (Powell, 2008, p. 321). On the other hand, by the fourth century after discovering that Jesus was fully divine, and if the Holy Spirit was from God, then the Holy Spirit had to be divine as well (Powell, 2008, p. 323). Then the Holy Spirit was…

constant presence of the Holy Spirit. The presence of the Holy Spirit is not limited to an external manifestation of exuberance or glossolalia as I experienced in the religious environments I grew up in (though I won’t dismiss the experience all-together as it embedded a healthy understanding of depending on the Holy Spirit which is still active in my life today). For me, one of the best ways to describe this is in the words of Forbes, “I believe the anointing of the Holy Spirit helps the…

Holy trinity divided into three parts father, son and the Holy sprit. Trinity prides itself on living out Jesus’ message of Faith, Hope and Love upholding the equality, dignity and worth of each individual. "Tri" meaning three, and "Unity" meaning one, Tri + Unity = Trinity. It is a way of acknowledging what the Bible reveals to us about God, that God is yet three "Persons" who have the same essence of deity. The reason why I choose dove because the Holy Spirit came down in a bodily shape, like…

God. (Acts chapter 10, verse 34). When it comes to the Holy Spirit, gender equality is guaranteed. The Holy Spirit treats everyone the same, He came for everyone. Joel chapter 2 verse 28 records, ‘… I will pour out My Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy ‘. There is no difference between sons and daughters when it comes to prophesy. This is confirmed in the next verse which states ‘In those days I will pour my Spirit even on servants —men and women alike.’ Note that…

THE TEN VIRGINS AND THE OIL Let us prove this point from the Scriptures. God is a Spirit. God is also the Word. The Spirit always leads to the Word. This is even confirmed by the parable of the Ten Virgins and the Oil (Matthew 25: 1-13). Five of them were wise and five were foolish. They all took their lamps and went forth to meet the bridegroom. The wise took their lamps and also extra oil in a separate vessel. The foolish took their lamps but did not take extra oil with them. The…

for the coming of the Holy Spirit with the disciples were some unnamed women, who probably were followers of Jesus. His mother Mary and his brothers. One hundred and twenty disciples. Those who were connected to the Day of Pentecost continued steadfastly in prayer (2:42). Also at Pentecost after the miracle experience, connected with the Pentecost, after the connection with Pentecost , after felling the Holy Spirit followed by the speaking of other tongues, up to now, the Spirit of God had been…
