There are 27 books in the New Testament, if only choose two of them, I would select Galatians and Philemon. Not because these two are more spiritual and more depth than others, but they are easier to understand towards me. Galatians and Philemon both have straightforward themes and contents, which are easier for me to catch the key points. Though, as explaining one plus one equals two, the simpler ideas show the deeper truths. These two books teach me a lot of words of Jesus. Galatians is an…

the Holy Ghost.” Each of us are given unique blessings from the Spirit that not only help ourselves, but are to be used to help those around us as well. The Articles of Faith address gifts in verse 7, which states, “We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth.” As we learn…

powerful and important. I feel this is one of the most major connections we can have to God so that when you become a missionary and begin to teach his children we can have the spirit to be with us, because even though the missionaries are the ones out there teaching they aren't teaching alone, but rather being guided by the spirit, making up for all…

filled out a card with my information and the pastor called me and said that he could fill me with the Holy Spirit. I was taken aback. A person can’t fill me with the Holy Spirit, only God can. Then he went on to say that the church lays hands on new members and once they speak in tongues then they will be invited to be active members. “There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them.5 There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. 6 There are different kinds…

“by the Spirit” will never fulfill the desires of the sinful nature” (629). The difficulty of a Christ-like life is stressed here, because Paul writes due to the sinful nature of the Galatians, saying they will not gratify their humanity with a godly life. In Galatians 5:17, Paul explains that acts that gratify the flesh are not permissible. The next verse expresses freedom from the law. Freedom from these sinful acts and experiencing the Spirit comes from being guided by the Holy Spirit not…

defined element, the baptism of the “Holy Spirit” which clearly defines our beliefs and separates us from other religions. Although baptism of the Holy Spirit is the pinnacle of Pentecostalism, it has been commonly neglected in recent times. I personally believe the Spirit’s role in many Christian religions is not emphasized enough. And, the Spirit’s role in Pentecostalism should be advertised as our hallmark.

Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen” (Matthew 28:19, 20). They went out and everywhere, with the Holy Spirit working through them performing many signs and wonders confirming the word of God they had spoken “And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen” (Mark…

influential text written 20 years after PS. By employing his dialectical process, Hegel is able to provide a just yet innovative examination of the objects and contents of religion. For instance, he explains that the finite human spirit is the thesis and the infinity of God’s spirit as its antithesis. Religion, in this case the Christian community, serves as the synthesis. This is because through a religious community that a finite being such as human can grasp the consciousness of God, an…

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…
