RETURN TO THE: BIBLE PAPERS HOME PAGE

This paper discusses the Holy Spirit God Himself. God manifests Himself equally as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit at all times in all places. The Holy Spirit guides the Christian Church on earth supplying all the gifts, blessing, and grace from God. All scriptures are from the King James' version Bible.

INDUCTIVE COMMENTS:

THEME: God is a Spirit, and we should worship Him in spirit and in truth.

John 4:22-24 "Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. {23} But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. {24} God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." True worship of God is by the Spirit & truth which is given to those that worship the Jewish Messiah Jesus whose name is salvation.

1 John 5:5-8 "Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? {6} This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. {7} For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. {8} And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one." The Triunity Godhead is shown by the three: Father, Word, & Holy Ghost who bear witness in heaven as one that bear witness in earth as three agree in one.

PURPOSE: The Christian is centered about Jesus and led by God’s Holy Spirit to perfection.

Romans 8:1-2 "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. {2} For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death." Spirit of life in Christ Jesus - God's Spirit within the Christian empowers him to walk after the Spirit and not the flesh.

Romans 8:11 "But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you." Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus and His Spirit that dwelled in you - God's Spirit raises you to life from your spiritual death.

KEY VERSE: This is the fullness of the Holy Spirit.

Isaiah 11:2 "And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;" Spirit of wisdom and understanding, Spirit of counsel and might, & Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD - God's Seven fold Spirit empowered Jesus ministry.

WHO: God mainly by Bible authors Isaiah, Daniel, Matthew, Luke, John, and Paul

TO WHOM: Elected Christians

WHAT: Holy Spirit is God who provides gifts, blessings, and grace to God’s elect.

The words Trinity and Triunity are not found in the Bible. However, the Triunity theological doctrine or teaching is found in the Bible to support one God, one essence, one being, one nature, and one divine Spirit who is indivisible which manifests Himself eternally as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit three distinct equal substances. The three manifestations always act in unity and agreement, and they have an order of Father to Son to Holy Spirit. They are not divided since there is a qualitative unique oneness acting in three separate personalities. What is most important is God can not be divided into three persons (as humans) which is not found in the Bible. If you see Jesus, you see the entire Godhead bodily (see Colossians 2:9). He is one God eternally always Father, Son, & Holy Spirit who shows Himself in these three characteristic ways. God is seen in His creation as in Romans 1:19-20, but His unique oneness can not be compared to or conceived by observing the created or nature order. His oneness is seen by His word the Bible.

Acts 5:3-4 "But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? {4} Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God." You did not lied unto men, but unto God: Holy Spirit.

Romans 1:19-20 "Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath showed it unto them. {20} For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:" Nature in the creation shows there is a God.

WHY: To guide & direct the body of Christ, his church, on earth.

WAY: Every gift, blessing, & grace to Christian is from God’s Spirit as an intercessor, consoler: -- advocate, comforter.

John 14:16-18 "And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; {17} Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. {18} I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you." The Comforter is the Holy Spirit to abide with the Christian.

John 16:7-11 "Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. {8} And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: {9} Of sin, because they believe not on me; {10} Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; {11} Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged." Holy Spirit is the comforter who was sent by Jesus and the Father to guide the Christians.

John 16:13-15 "Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come. {14} He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto you. {15} All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall show it unto you." The Holy Spirit is means for Christian to center on Jesus.

Acts 8:15-19 "Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: {16} (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) {17} Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost. {18} And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, {19} Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost." Receive power of Holy Ghost baptism by laying on of hand.

1 Corinthians 2:10-14 "But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. {11} For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. {12} Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. {13} Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. {14} But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned." The Holy Spirit of God knows all things and brings the person to Christ. The natural man can not receive Jesus as savior without the Holy Spirit.

1 Corinthians 12:1-14 "Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. {2} Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led. {3} Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. {4} Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. {5} And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. {6} And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. {7} But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. {8} For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; {9} To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; {10} To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: {11} But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. {12} For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. {13} For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. {14} For the body is not one member, but many." Holy Ghost allows Christian to call upon Jesus as the Lord and will not let them curse Jesus. The Spirit gives the gifts including baptism to the Christians as He wills.

WHEREAS: The Christian is centered about Jesus and led by God’s Holy Spirit to perfection.

WHERE: Everywhere at anytime for whatever purpose.

WHEN: As Holy Spirit desires

Genesis 1:1-2 "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. {2} And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters." God created and the Spirit of God moved across the waters.

WHILE: The Christian is doing everything he can with His gifts.

Isaiah 9:6 "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." The Triunity Godhead is shown in who Jesus is here.

Isaiah 48:16-17 "Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, hath sent me. {17} Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go." Jesus, LORD, is speaking here about the Triunity Godhead who is manifested in the LORD GOD and His Spirit.

Isaiah 63:8-14 "For he said, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie: so he was their Saviour. {9} In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old. {10} But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them. {11} Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where is he that put his holy Spirit within him? {12} That led them by the right hand of Moses with his glorious arm, dividing the water before them, to make himself an everlasting name? {13} That led them through the deep, as an horse in the wilderness, that they should not stumble? {14} As a beast goeth down into the valley, the Spirit of the LORD caused him to rest: so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious name." The Father is speaking here about the Triunity Godhead. The angel of His presence who redeemed them is Jesus. They rebelled against Holy Spirit of God.

WANT: Not as the Christian wants, but as the Holy Spirit wants.

Ephesians 1:13 "In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise," Holy Spirit of promise - God's Spirit seals the Christian into salvation by His promise.

Ephesians 1:17 "That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:" Spirit of wisdom & revelation in the knowledge of him - God's Spirit provides wisdom, revelation, & knowledge gifts unto man.

WAIT: Wait for God to perform his work while living in faith.

Isaiah 61:1 "The spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;" Spirit of the Lord GOD - God's Spirit within the Lord Jesus as He started His ministry with these prophetic words.

See the two New Testament scriptures below for support of this scripture.

Before John's birth he was saved & had the Holy Spirit in him.

Luke 1:41 "And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; & Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:" Elisabeth also had the Holy Spirit within her before john's and Jesus births.

VII) THE HOLY SPIRIT IN JESUS' LIFE:

A) HOLY GHOST IN JESUS BIRTH:

Matthew 1:18-21 "Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. {19} Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily. {20} But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. {21} And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins." God the Holy Ghost came upon Mary resulting in the birth of Jesus God's only begotten Son.

Luke 1:35 "And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God." God the Father & God the Holy Spirit are in Jesus.

See my paper: "Original Sin & Its Results" for more information on this subject.

B) THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS AT THE PRESENTATION OF BABY JESUS IN TEMPLE:

Luke 2:25-26 "And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him. {26} And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ." Simeon had God's revelation to see Jesus by the Holy Spirit.

C) JESUS AND HOLY SPIRIT ARE THE LORD:

Acts 2:36 "Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ." God is called Lord & Jesus is God is Lord.

2 Corinthians 3:17 "Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty." God is called Lord & the Holy Spirit is God is Lord.

D) JESUS BAPTISM WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT & THE FATHER'S PRESENTS:

Matthew 3:16-4:1 "And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: {17} And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. {4:1} Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil." The Triunity Godhead Holy Spirit & Father are present at Jesus baptism.

E) JESUS MINISTERED IN THE POWER OF HOLY SPIRIT:

Isaiah 11:1-5 "And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: {2} And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; {3} And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears: {4} But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. {5} And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins." Jesus did everything in the power of the seven fold Holy Spirit of the LORD God.

Matthew 12:27-28 "And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges. {28} But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you." Jesus, by the Holy Spirit of God cast out the devils.

Luke 4:18-19 "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, {19} To preach the acceptable year of the Lord." From Isaiah 61:1-2. Holy Spirit started Jesus ministry.

John 6:63 "It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life." The Holy Spirit is the very words of God, the Bible, which is life to those who can hear them

Acts 10:38 "How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him." Jesus the human man did everything in the power of the Holy Spirit for God was with Him.

Romans 1:3-4 "Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; {4} And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:" The Power of the Holy Spirit declared Him as God

F) JESUS AT HIS DEATH COMMENDS HIS SPIRIT TO GOD:

Luke 23:46-47 "And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost. {47} Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man." At Jesus death.

VIII) THE HOLY SPIRIT GIVEN TO CHRISTIANS AT THEIR SALVATION:

A) THE CHRISTIAN IS BORN AGAIN THROUGH THE SPIRIT OF GOD:

John 3:5-8 "Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. {6} That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. {7} Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. {8} The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit." Born from above produces the characteristics of God within him, & God's Holy Spirit in his spirit.

See my paper: "True Gospel for Salvation by the Imputed Righteousness of Jesus" for more information on this subject.

John 7:37-39 "In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. {38} He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. {39} (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)" After Jesus left the earth, He sent the Holy Ghost to provide us His power.

See my paper: "What is a Born-Again & How to Become One?" for more information on this subject.

Acts 10:44-47 "While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. {45} And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. {46} For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter, {47} Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?" God provides the Baptism of Holy Spirit with tongues as outward sign of receiving the gift.

Acts 19:2-6 "He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. {3} And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism. {4} Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. {5} When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. {6} And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied." The Baptism of the Holy Spirit with tongues is a natural continuation of God's power in the Christian.

2 Corinthians 3:2-3 "Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: {3} Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshly tables of the heart." The Christian's heart becomes new in the rebirth, and he becomes a living letter of God.

B) THE CHRISTIAN IS MADE CLEAN BY THE SPIRIT:

Romans 8:1-27 "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. [POWER OVER SIN] {2} For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. {3} For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: {4} That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. [POWER TO FULFILL THE LAW] {5} For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. {6} For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. [POWER OF THE MIND OF GOD] {7} Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. {8} So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. {9} But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. {10} And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. [POWER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS] {11} But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. [POWER OF LIFE FOR YOUR BODY] {12} Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. {13} For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. [POWER OF DEATH TO YOUR FLESH] {14} For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. {15} For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. {16} The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: [POWER OF KNOWING & TESTIFYING WE ARE GOD'S CHILDREN] {17} And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. [POWER OF GLORIFICATION] {18} For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. {19} For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. [POWER OF MANIFESTED SONS OF GOD] {20} For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, {21} Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. [POWER OF LIBERTY] {22} For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. {23} And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. [POWER OF ADOPTION, REDEMPTION, OF OUR BODY] {24} For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? {25} But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. {26} Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. [POWER OF PRAYER] {27} And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. [POWER OF THE MIND OF THE SPIRIT & INTERCESSION FOR THE WILL OF GOD]" The Spirit knows what the Christian needs to guide him.

1 Corinthians 6:10-11 "Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. {11} And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, & by the Spirit of our God." The Spirit cleaned the Christian of his sins and justifies him.

See my paper: "Salvation Biblical Word Glossary" for more information on this subject.

Titus 3:4-6 "But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, {5} Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; {6} Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;" Renewals of the Holy Spirit by refilling is needed.

C) THE CHRISTIAN IS SEALED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT UNTO GOD:

2 Corinthians 1:21-22 "Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God; {22} Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts."The Spirit seals the Christian providin assurance for life.

Ephesians 1:12-14 "That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. {13} In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, {14} Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory." The Holy Spirit is given as a seal of promise inheritance until the redemption occurs.

See my paper: "Imputed/Reckoned/Counted Righteousness of Jesus" for more information on this subject.

1 John 3:24 "And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us" Spirit assurance abides within the Christian that he knows his saved.

1 John 4:2 "Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:" Christian's confession of Jesus Christ coming in the flesh is by Spirit.

1 John 4:6 "We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error." The Holy Spirit of truth is of God. The spirit of error is of satan.

1 John 4:12-14 "No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. {13} Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. {14} And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world." Christian's love, faith, confession, & assurance is by Spirit

IX) RECEIVING THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT WITH TONGUES:

A) THE CHRISTIAN'S BAPTISM OF THE HOLY GHOST WITH FIRE:

Matthew 3:11 "I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:" This shows a second baptism first for repentance and second Holy Spirit baptism.

B) HOW TO RECEIVE THE BAPTISM OF HOLY SPIRIT:

See my paper: "Holy Spirit Baptism" for more information on this subject.

Luke 11:9-13 "And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. {10} For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. {11} If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? {12} Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? {13} If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?" Request from God will be honored including the gift of Holy Spirit.

See my paper: "Prayer" for more information on this subject.

John 14:25-26 "These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. {26} But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things & bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you" God's Holy Ghost is a comforter, like an attorney beside you, who helps & guides you in your times of trouble.

John 15:26-27 "But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: {27} And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning." Jesus sends the Spirit.

John 16:7-11 "Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. {8} And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: {9} Of sin, because they believe not on me; {10} Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; {11} Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged." He = Holy Spirit will come and comfort the Christian and reprove the world of sin, righteousness, & judgment.

Acts 1:4-5 "And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. {5} For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence."Holy Spirit baptism given to Christians after water baptism

Acts 1:7-8 "And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. {8} 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." Spirit given for power.

Acts 2:37-39 "Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? {38} Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. {39} For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call." The order of God for man is faith, repentance, water baptism in Jesus name, and receiving gift of Holy Ghost baptism.

The living water of Holy Ghost is praying in tongues which is God within the Christian praying with the Christians voice to God.

Jude 1:19-21 "These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit. {20} But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, {21} Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life." Praying in Holy Spirit, by tongues, builds up the Christian's faith, keeping one in love of God & His mercy.

Galatians 5:16-18 "This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. {17} For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. {18} But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law."

The Holy Spirit quotes your fathers tempted me since He is a manifestation of the Triunity Godhead.

1 Peter 1:10-12 "Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: {11} Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. {12} Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into." The Spirit of Jesus Christ is the Holy Spirit sent from God to inspire prophesies of salvation by God's grace.

The Holy Spirit can be lied to but a great cost.

Acts 7:51-52 "Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye. {52} Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which showed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers:" Resist Holy Spirit in sin.

Once the Holy Spirit departs the person is lost and can not return to God.

Hebrews 10:26-29 "For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, {27} But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. {28} He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: {29} Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?"
