TH307 Nov. 28 2017 The Role of The Holy Spirit in The Trinity Often, Christians do not try to understand the Trinity, as it seems impossible to understand. However, there are benefits to studying each holy member. Understanding the Trinity is necessary and practical for members of the Christian faith, because the Trinity helps us to understand how the Godhead—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—relate to one another and work in this world. The Holy Spirit is easily the least well-known part

THE WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN REGENERATION INTRODUCTION The words "born again" have been cheapened today by many in religion. Satan is a master at redefining Bible terms; therefore, it behooves us to have a clear understanding of the Scriptural meaning of these words. Let’s consider what the Bible teaches about being "regenerated" or "born again." I. THE NECESSITY OF THE NEW BIRTH A. OUR LORD CLEARLY REVEALED THAT REGENERATION WAS NECESSARY TO SALVATION (Jn. 3:3, 5). 1. Before a man

The collect chosen tells us about God as the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity. The Holy Spirit who was given to us at Pentecost is not just the spirit of God but the Holy Spirit is God himself. The Holy Spirit is love. The “pouring out of the Spirit” began on the Day of Pentecost. From that time, the Holy Spirit will be forever present to all those who come to faith in Jesus Christ. God's very life, breath and energy lives in, with and among us. Those who are Christians

The Holy Spirit is one of the most personal persons of the Trinity that we have the privilege to have within our lives. Through Jesus Christ our Lord and savior, we as Christians have been given a gift that we do not even know the full extent of. John 16: 5-15 is one of the few passages within the gospels that give an introduction to the gift we are given through the departing presence of Jesus Christ from the earth. From this passage, however, questions still arise about the role and functionality

Holy Spirit is mention in the NRSV a total of 111 times, 96 of those 111 mentioned, are found in the New Testament, and 42 of those 96 references are located in the book of Acts. Nearly 44% of the conversation about the Holy Spirit is in Acts, and the next closes book is Luke that references the Holy Spirit 13 times. Together both books make up nearly 60% of the New Testaments conversations about the Holy Spirit. The description and work of the Holy Spirit, how do we relate to it in modern terms

Ministry and gifts of the Holy Spirit Ministry and the gifts of the Holy Spirit seem to be something that a lot of the church have forgotten about. Of course if you were raised Pentecostal, this is something you might be rather familiar with. However, I have ever heard anybody speak in tongues being raised in a Nazarene Church, and I was very un-familiarized with these gifts. It wasn’t until I was sixteen years’ old that I actually heard anyone speak in tongues. I had never heard about gifts such

One of the most prominent features of the Holy Spirit is his ability to bring about change. Whenever the Spirit arrives, the status quo is disturbed. When Jesus promised the Holy Spirit would bring power to those whom would receive him, the power referred to was ‘dunamis’ power. Dunamis is the power to generate the new and change the old. When the Holy Spirit arrives in a person’s life, it has character changing results. Interestingly, 1Samuel chapter 10 tells the history of how Saul became the king

Christians not only put trust in God and the Son but that Christians also entrust themselves in the Holy Spirit, considering he is fully divine and personal. “The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.” (Romans 8:11) Paul is declaring that through the spirit God will give believers new life, in which humans are transformed into the likeness of Christ

The different views within the modern church regarding the Gifts of the Holy Spirit can be discussed in four categories. Cessationism, Pentecostal, Charismatic, and Third Wave. Cessationism is a belief that there are no longer any gifts of the Holy Spirit. All of the Gifts of the Holy Spirit were given to man and used within the first century church. The subsequential beliefs directly oppose cessationism. Pentecostal is the denomination that traces its origin to the Pentecostal revival in the United
