“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” (Acts 1:8) The many works in the book of Acts were undoubtedly impossible without the power of the Holy Spirit. In Acts alone, there are 57 references to the Holy Spirit. There is no doubt that the Spirit was powerfully important in the early church and especially among the apostles. Yet in order

believes that the Holy Spirit is the third person of God and is the same as the Son of God. He is the Lord and the Lord of Christ. Catholics and Protestants believe that the Holy Spirit by the Holy Father by the Communists, the Orthodox Church by the Father, the ages of faith, love, worship and worship. For by the grace of God, the Holy Spirit is the only one who is able to give birth to salvation; this salvation is completed by the bloodshed of Jesus Christ on the cross. The Holy Spirit lives in the

The Role of the Holy Spirit in Salvation HOMI 860-397 LUO Jonathan Behler L23929745   What is the Holy Spirit’s role in salvation? How can sinful man come to the saving knowledge of a Holy God? What part does the Holy Spirit play in regeneration? These are the questions we are going to investigate today. My intention with this sermon is to challenge us and encourage us in the sovereign work of the Holy Spirit in the regeneration of a soul. With that said let us begin our study. Let us begin by

says that this is the coming of the Holy Spirit to inaugurate the Church Age. The question that arises is what does this mean and how did it affect the church. The day of Pentecost empowered the church to be able to achieve its intended purpose. History of the Pentecost The Classical Pentecostal doctrine of the baptism in the Holy Spirit was first formulated at the turn of the twentieth century. Nevertheless, Classical Pentecostals claim that their view of Spirit baptism is based on Scripture, and

gifts of the Holy Spirit contain a big role in the spiritual life of the believer. There are said to be seven gifts to around eighteen gifts of the Spirit to be brought upon those who believe in God. Each denomination has a certain gift that they focus on more then others. As Pentecostals believe that speaking in tongues is the ultimate gifts and thats what shows that a person has been filled with the Spirit, Mennonites dont focus on speaking in tongues at all. Each Gift of the Spirit has a certain

In this passage of scripture Paul was preaching to the people of Athens and he recognized that they were very religious in every way but they didn’t know God. The work of the Holy Spirit is just as real today as it was in the book of Acts. My message to you today is no different than Paul’s was to his congregation of believers in the book of Acts. Do you know God? We may proceed with all our traditions and religious practices but if we do not know our Father we are struggling through life on

The Holy Spirit Paul talks lot about the Holy Spirit and the role that He plays in peoples lives in Romans 8:3-17. His main point though, is that there is a very distinct difference between people of the flesh and people of the Spirit. If the Spirit of God is alive in a person, then that person is alive because they died to sin. However, if the Spirit is not in a person then they are dead. The people of the Spirit and the people of the Flesh are completely opposite from one another, according

Baptism and the Holy Spirit in the Book of Acts Water Baptism vs Baptized with the Spirit and Power The book of Acts begins with Jesus ' parting words to His apostles before His ascension to the right hand of God the Father. In His opening statement Jesus promises the Holy Spirit, and He does this by distinguishing the coming of the Spirit from the baptism of John. “For John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.” (Acts 1:5) John had testified

like an ancient Jewish bride would have been. The Holy Spirit fell on the church at Pentecost after Jesus returned to His Father 's house. The Holy Spirit is the "Comforter" that Jesus promised would come after His Ascension. The Holy Spirit manifested within the body of the church, and it is the current restrainer of the antichrist. A spirit needs a body to manifest itself in, and when the Holy Spirit filled church is gone, Satan, who is a spirit, will be able to take over inside of the antichrist
