After writing about both the Trinity and Salvation, I have learned that they are immensely interconnected. The Trinity allows human beings to find Salvation. All in all, the Trinity is not three separate parts, but one part with three different essences.

  • The Spirit: Continuationism And The Gifts Of The Spirit

    625 Words  | 2 Pages

    For Christians it is impossible to comprehend all of God’s mysteries, all of God’s plans, all of God’s desires, abilities, mercies, and blessings. It’s impossible to comprehend all of God. This is the price they pay for serving a divine God of infinitive complexity. Even when he spells it out for them, as he did with creating the bible, the human mind is incapable of understanding how God works. Since people are simple minded and selfish beings, debates over what God is trying to tell them in scripture can be formed, and can get to the point where these debates spilt the Christian churches. The question of whether or not the gifts of the holy spirit still has an active role in the modern day churches is one that has been greatly argued among the believers. Although many ideas have been presented on the matter, three major viewpoints have been formed; Cessationism, Continuationism, and an open but cautious view. Whether or not the gifts of the spirit are still part of the Christian chu...

  • The Importance Of The Holy Spirit

    2791 Words  | 6 Pages

    He helps us with our witness. “You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witness in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth” (Acts 1:8 ESV). Part of our call as Christians (as found in the Great Commission) is to go to the ends of the earth to make disciples of the nations. The Holy Spirit is what gives us the power to do so. Since Jesus is no longer physical present on this planet, we need someone else for our witness. The Holy Spirit, being God just as much as Jesus was God, is the one that helps us witness on this earth. Without him, we could not spread the gospel. Without the Holy Spirit being sent when Jesus left, the gospel would not spread. Christianity would have just lasted the lifetime of those who knew him personally. The Holy Spirit helps us speak the right words in these situations. “Whatever is given you in that hour, speak that; for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit” (Mark 13:11). Jesus speaks this to His disciples when talking about the end times. He tells them not to fear and to speak up. For what they speak are not their words, but the words of God spoken by the Holy

    The doctrine of the Holy Spirit begins with examining biblical witness to the work of the Holy Spirit in the history of Israel, as well as the ministry of Jesus, and in the life of the church. During the creation account it was the breath of God that grave life to all creation. The Holy Spirit has been a primate actor sin the beginning of time. While the Spirit was present prior to the ministry of Christ, the New Testament speaks in greater detail of the Spirit because it empowered Jesus. From his conception to the day of Pentecost the Sprit was present and active in the life of Christ and the believers. We see in ...
