Pneumatology: The Holy Spirit

829 Words4 Pages

Pneumatology (Holy Spirit)
Studies of the Holy Spirit include His deity, illustrations, sanctification, conviction, regeneration, indwelling, baptism, sealing, earnest, gifts, filling, teaching, guidance, prayer, and assurance.

The Holy Spirit, in all that He does, glorifies the Lord Jesus Christ. He convicts the world of its guilt. He regenerates sinners, and in Him they are baptized into union with Christ and adopted as heirs in the family of God. He also indwells, illuminates, guides, equips and empowers believers for Christ-like living and services.

The Holy Spirit is a person of the trinity. Not an it. Please do not refer to God as an it.

He is separate from His power: Luke 4:14

We are elect by God by the Holy Spirit. God the Father chooses and the Holy Spirit sets them apart. Same concept: 2 Thessalonians 2:13-14.
-Conviction: John 16: 8-11

The Holy Spirit and you at salvation:
-Regeneration: John 3:6 We were dead in trespasses, but then quickened by the Spirit. God saves and decides, Christ is the person who made it possible, the H.S. is the power and spark for life.

-Indwelling: 1 Corinthians 6:19 This was the worst church in the Bible. Even worse than Laodicea in Revelation. Man and his mother were in a sexual relationship and the church approved of it, people drunk at the breaking of bread, suing going on, divisions, tongues out of control. The church was doctrinally way off as well. Heretics were saying there would be no resurrection, etc. They were messed up babies in Christ. “Holy” Spirit is an adjective. This is the controlling force. He is holy. He is inside believers, not the church. In the O.T. He resided in the temple. Sometimes in individuals to guide them but not

    The scripture texts mention Jesus as one who breaks all walls that divide humans under certain categories or label them with captions. In other words, if we are able to see God’s love manifest in the love of Christ, we would be able to understand the love of God too. On the other hand, Burton Z. Cooper states that “God has acted in Christ to redeem us.” This satisfies Jesus’ claim that our faith in Christ will help us be one in Christ as he is one in the Father, as mentioned in John 14:20.

    In the Christian religion, like many others, the belief in a single, ultimate, powerful being is upheld and practiced. However, unlike other monotheistic religions, the Christian belief in God is expressed in three parts: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This aspect of Christianity is unique and is part of what defines it. Although some people may think so, God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are not three separate beings. They are united as one in the Trinity, the same all-powerful God.

    The Holy Breath of God is one of how the Holy Spirit is present to us. According to John 20:22, it says that Jesus “breathed on them and said to them, ‘receive the Holy Spirit.” As the breath/wind of God is seen in lots of other scriptures, I feel that it represents the idea that by sharing our gifts with others and fulfilling Jesus’ teachings as Christians, we are being driven by the Holy Spirit to continue and deepen our faith. Catholic people may decide to live out the Holy Spirit by activities such as going to mass, meditating, spending time with nature, or communicating with others nicely.

    Jesus and the holy spirit are just different forms of God. It is up to us how we see them. Our churches may have a certain image of them, but reading this book made me think it is up to ourselves how we see God, Jesus, and the holy spirit. It is easy for us to see Jesus as a handsome, tall, strong man, but he was not. He was just like us, his people.

    PERSPECTIVES ON SPIRIT BAPTISM The Reform position of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit is possibly the most commonly held position in the American mid-west. Walter Kaiser is a brilliant theologian but very typical in his assessment of the Holy Spirit’s representation in the New Testament. Kaiser does a masterful job of presenting the theological and chronological exegesis of the Holy Spirit without jumping off the Calvinist cliff. He makes an excellent observation of seeing the Pauline letters as didactic and Lukan letters as narrative, but falls short of full scholarship by asserting that narrative passages could not be doctrinal in scope.

  • Reflection Of Paul's Pneumatology

    1434 Words  | 6 Pages

    Paul’s pneumatology found in his writings has been a matter of interest in recent New Testament scholarship. Gordon Fee has been a great contributor in this area and in Paul, the Spirit and the People of God he outlines the various elements found in Pauline pneumatology giving us greater insight into this subject. In this paper I will highlight some of these elements that are unique to Paul and are not found in the Synoptic Gospels and Acts. The first distinctive of Pauline pneumatology is the way he sees the Spirit as God’s personal presence. For Paul, the coming of the Spirit meant that God had fulfilled the promises He had made to Jeremiah and Ezekiel when He said, ‘I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel’ (Jer. 31:31), and
