We believe the Lord promised us a Comforter or Helper that He called the Holy Spirit. This gift of the Holy Spirit (or Holy Ghost) comes upon every believer who will seek the Lord for this power. Speaking in Tongues or other spiritual manifistations will always accompany the coming of this power into the life of those who receive Him.

Whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin." There are no limits to the mercy of God, but anyone who deliberately refuses to accept his mercy by repenting, rejects the forgiveness of his sins and the salvation offered by the Holy Spirit. Such hardness of heart can lead to final impenitence and eternal loss." (C.C.C.

Jesus describes the Holy Spirit in (John 14:26) "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." The Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost is made available to us by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Jesus also describes the Holy Spirit as the Spirit of truth.

The Holy Spirit is the Power of God, which enables Christ and all of the Host to be sons of God. The issue of the personality of the Holy Spirit was fixed at the Council of Constantinople in 381, which made it a third person of the Godhead. The problem in English in understanding that it is not a person, is compounded by the gender sex nexus in the English language, which is not the same in Greek or many other languages. Look at the papers The Holy Spirit (No.

Yes, He would allot it to you to bring you to baptism. The problem is that you have to be obedient to retain it. It works with you until baptism and is then in you from baptism, but if you are not obedient then you will not retain it. Once you get to the stage of understanding you will be able to find one of the elders of the Church and be baptised into the body of Christ (not into a sect or denomination). If you do not wish to act on it, do not ask, as it will not remain with you.

Good question. The Bible answers itself. The question is posed in Proverbs 30:4: "What is His name and what is His son's name, answer it if you can tell". It is answered in the very next verse: "Every word of Eloah is pure". The name of the One True God is "Eloah." It is His Law. The Priests worship Him and His Temple. He caused His name to be placed at Jerusalem (cf. Ezra 4:24-7:26). Eloah is singular and He extended Himself to become Elohim.

When the disciples asked Jesus how to pray, Jesus told them to "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For everyone that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and him that knocketh it shall be opened" (Luke 11:9-10). Jesus then makes the analogy between a natural father and son regarding nurturing needs and concerns and then makes the comparison to God giving the Holy Spirit to those who ask "….

The Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) is evident throughout the scriptures, and we believe the scriptures are the inerrant Word of God.

The main difference it is spirit baptism that saves, not water baptism. The moment a person is born again, he or she is spiritually baptised. 1 Corinthians 12:13 ? "For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit." After a person is spiritually baptised, he should be baptised with water as well to confess that he now believes in Christ.

In his second letter, Peter provides a key insight regarding the human-divine interchange in the process of inspiration. The verse informs us that "prophecy (or Scripture) never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit" (2 Peter 1:21). The phrase "carried along" in this verse literally means "forcefully borne along.

The Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit are not three individuals or a Trinity, but three states and conditions (I John 5:7; Deut. 6:4, John 1:1-2, 14). Taking the natural to understand the spiritual, the supernal nature of the creator compares to the three states of matter: gas, liquid, or solid. The Father is likened unto the gaseous, abstract state, being invisible and without shape or form (Deut. 4:12; Exo. 35:4). The Word is likened unto the liquid or intermediate state.

SF at Dallas Theological Seminary (DTS) is a tool for collaborating with the Holy Spirit in His work to transform the student into the image of Christ. SF furnishes an environment or creates a context, a community, in which the Spirit can work in the student’s heart, as he or she examines his or her life. The small group offers direction and feedback to the student for life-change, for growth in love for God and neighbor, and for improvements in his or her relationships.

With the resurrection of Jesus and His return to Heaven, came the “permanent” ministry of the Holy Spirit—literally taking up residence within each Believer. Your body is now the “temple of the Holy Spirit.” He is our Guide and our Counselor. He leads us into all Truth. He interprets Scripture for us, and He empowers us, just as He empowered Jesus for His earthly ministry.

I have found that many people simply need to be aware of the different ways that the Holy Spirit can guide them. Some who have studied the Bible for years to gain theological knowledge never expected the Spirit to speak to them personally through the Scripture. Once they have this expectation, they realize that the Spirit had been whispering in their ears in the past, but they had dismissed this internal voice as nothing of significance.

God the eternal Spirit was active with the Father and the Son in Creation, incarnation, and redemption. He inspired the writers of Scripture. He filled Christ's life with power. He draws and convicts human beings; and those who respond He renews and transforms into the image of God. Sent by the Father and the Son to be always with His children, He extends spiritual gifts to the church, empowers it to bear witness to Christ, and in harmony with the Scriptures leads it into all truth.
