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 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

What exactly happened on that Pentecost day? The traditional view 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

A central doctrine to Christian belief would be that of the holy trinity. Though Christian doctrine recognizes the existence of only one true God, the doctrine of the trinity describes this God as being “three in one”, meaning that there are three entities to compose the singular God. God the Father (also referred to as God the Creator) is responsible for the creation of the universe and all its inhabitants, for sovereignty over His creation, and is the God entity with whom Christian believers have

When it comes to anything that has to do with my relationship with God and my love, worship, and praise for Him, I always take my direction from the Word which has all authority in my life and the guidance and direction of the Holy Spirit. Some refer to this as “Experiential Worship.” Experiential worship in not just another ministry trend, not just another clever skill: it is nothing less than discovering again the “biblical worship,” worship according to the Greatest Commandment of Jesus (Rognlien

Service is perhaps one of the most misunderstood words in the Christian church. It’s a sad fact that many Bible-believing Christians do not engage in any real service for the Lord. Many will attend worship services and tithe faithfully, but do little else in the way of service to the Lord. Paul told the Ephesians to “walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.” When I

will be raptured away just 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

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

There has been so much contention on the fact regarding the cessation of some of the gifts of the Holy Spirit and that Enns here is arguing that some of the gifts of the Holy Spirit have seized their operation is not only ambiguous but very disturbing to the Christian faith because, there is nowhere in the scripture that God specifically told the church that any of the gift has come into extinction. My opinion here is in the consideration of Enns view in accordance with the scripture and I can easily
