In Christian theology, the Bible reveals there is one God who exists as three distinct Persons within the Trinity (Gen 1:26; 11:6-7; Matt 28:19; 2 Cor 13:14; 1 Pet 1:2): God the Father (Gal 1:1; Eph 6:23; Phil 2:11), God the Son (John 1:1, 14, 18; 8:58; 20:28; Col 2:9; Heb 1:8), and God the Holy Spirit (Acts 5:3-4; 1 Cor 2:11-12; 2 Cor 13:14). God is three in Person, but one in essence, sharing the same attributes. The use of the Hebrew numeral echad (אֶחָד) reveals, in some contexts, the idea of a complex one, which supports the doctrine of the Trinity (Deut 6:4; cf., Gen 2:24; Ezra 3:1; Ezek 37:17). All three are co-equal, co-infinite, co-eternal, and worthy of all praise and service. According to John Walvoord: In contrast to the polytheism of the heathen world with its many gods and idols, the Christian faith centers in one God. This God, however, is revealed to be a Trinity, including the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. As such, we distinguish the Father from the Son and both of them from the Holy Spirit…All students of scriptural truth labor to understand the doctrine of the Trinity, but it eludes them because it is beyond anything that they experience in this life…Accordingly, the best procedure is to accept the Bible as true and accept the fact that there is one God who exists in three persons and leave the explanation of this to the life after this.[1]      The three Persons of the God-head are one in essence (Deut 6:4; Isa 43:10; 44:6; 45:5-6), and share the same divine attributes. The attributes of God consist of intrinsic characteristics that are equally representative of the God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. God's attributes are revealed in Scripture, which means they are objective and can be learned by God's people. Furthermore, the attributes of God explain His actions. And we cannot separate or elevate one attribute above another. The Bible reveals God is: Living, which means “He is the living God and the everlasting King” (Jer 10:10), He “has life in Himself” (John 5:26; cf. Psa 42:2; 84:2; Matt 16:16; John 1:4) and is the ultimate source of life. Paul states, “for in Him we live and move and exist” (Acts 17:28). This attribute takes priority, for if God is not living, none of the other attributes are possible. Self-existent (aseity), which means His existence depends on nothing outside of Himself (Ex 3:14). Moses said, “from everlasting to everlasting, You are God” (Psa 90:2). There is no prior cause that brought God into existence, He will never cease to be, and He depends on nothing outside of Himself. Holy (Lev 11:44; Psa 99:9; Isa 45:5-19), which means God is morally perfect and separate from all that is sinful. Spirit (John 4:24; 2 Cor 3:17), which means the nature of God's being is spirit, not material. Sovereign (Psa 115:3; Isa 46:9-11; Dan 4:35; Acts 17:24-28), which means God acts freely as He pleases, always as He pleases, and only as He pleases. Immutable (Psa 102:26-27; Mal 3:6), which means God's essential nature does not change. Eternal (Deut 33:27; 1 Tim 1:17), which means God has always existed, does exist, and forever will exist. Infinite (1 Ki 8:27; Jer 23:24), which means God exists in space and beyond space. Omniscient (Psa 139:1-4; Matt 6:31-33), which means God knows all things and is infinite in knowledge. Omnipresent (Psa 139:7-10; Jer 23:24), which means He is equally and fully everywhere present. Omnipotent (Job 42:2; Isa 40:28), which means God is all-powerful and able to accomplish all He desires. Righteous (Psa 11:7; 119:137), which refers to His intrinsic moral perfection, from which He commands all things in heaven and earth, and declares as good that which conforms to His righteousness and as evil that which deviates. Just (Psa 9:7-8; 19:9), which refers to the outworking of His righteousness in which He justifies or condemns, blesses or curses, that which does or does not conform to His righteous character. True (Jer 10:10; John 17:3), which means He is genuine, in contrast to false idols. This means He truthful (2 Sam 7:28; John 17:17). His knowledge and declarations define reality and help us make sense of what is. Love (Jer 31:3; 1 John 4:7-8), which means He is committed to us, desires our best, and acts for our benefit. Good (Psa 100:5; 145:9; Nah 1:7; Jam 1:17), which means all He does is good, and that He is the ultimate source of all that is good. Faithful (Deut 7:9; Lam 3:21-23), which means He is reliable in all He says and does, always keeping His Word. Merciful (Psa 86:15; Tit 3:5), which means He is kind toward us and does not judge us as we deserve. Gracious (Psa 111:4; 116:5), which means He treats us better than we deserve.      All three Persons of the Godhead are involved in providing salvation. Our salvation is said to be planned and initiated by God the Father, agreed upon and executed by God the Son, and imparted to each person by God the Holy Spirit. According to Lewis Chafer: [It] is essential to recognize that the “salvation [which] is of Jehovah” includes the three Persons of the Godhead as actively engaged in the realization of this stupendous undertaking…In every aspect of saving grace the three Persons are concurring. Even when hanging on the cross, the Son was not alone in His vast achievement. It was God who was in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself; the Father was offering His Lamb; and that sacrifice was offered through the eternal Spirit (Heb 9:14).[3] Robert Lightner states: Evangelical Christians, in harmony with the historic orthodox Christian faith, worship God who is one in three and three in one, one in essence and three in person. The entire Godhead—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—is involved in the salvation of the sinner. The Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died for sinners. He is the Savior! It is customary in evangelical circles to put such emphasis on the second person's part in our salvation that the roles of the Father and the Spirit are often slighted…Even though it is not always expressed in the same way, evangelicals agree that man's salvation is the product of the Holy Trinity.[4] Warren Wiersbe adds: You will note that all three Persons in the Godhead are involved in our salvation (see also 1 Peter 1:3). As far as God the Father is concerned, you were saved when He chose you in Christ in eternity past. But that alone did not save you. As far as God the Son is concerned, you were saved when He died for you on the cross. As far as God the Spirit is concerned, you were saved when you yielded to His conviction and received Christ as your Savior. What began in eternity past was fulfilled in time present, and will continue for all eternity![5]      In the following lessons, special attention will be given to the specific members of the Trinity and their work in salvation.   [1] John F.

In the middle of the 19th century, tens of thousands of Christians were martyred in Korea. A few were priests, some were catechists, but most were simply believers and families of believers. They profoundly believed Jesus' words in the gospel today: “My mother and my brothers  are those who hear the word of God and act on it.” They heard the word of God, lived it daily, and surrendered their lives rather than renounce their faith in Jesus. What most impressed the witness of the executions was the serenity and joy with which the martyrs accepted death. Most of us will not be called to make this extreme sacrifice, but all of us are called to hear and act upon the Word of God. Jesus' words: “My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and act on it,” come after he was told that his mother and brothers were “standing outside and they wish[ed] to see [him].” Some may think that Jesus is belittling family ties, and even his mother Mary; but Luke is one of the gospel writers who exalts the role of Mary, so there must be another message here.Jesus always cautioned his disciples that following him was not for the faint hearted, and there would be no preferential treatment in God's kingdom, except for the poor and downtrodden. So, being a member of Jesus' blood family or coming from the same town as Jesus would get no one quicker into heaven, unless they, too, heard and acted upon the Word of God.Of course, we know that Mary the was one who most quickly heard and acted upon God's Word. She was the one who answered: “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word,” when the angel presented to her God's plan for the mother of the Redeemer. She went with haste to care for her cousin Elizabeth in the last months of her pregnancy and sang: “My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my savior.”  And in the Acts of the Apostles, Luke tells us that Mary was with the Apostles, awaiting the gift of the Holy Spirit: “All these devoted themselves with one accord to prayer, together with some women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.”The joy of Jesus' words: “My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and act on it,” is that Jesus considers all of us, struggling to act according to his words, to be members of his family. He will look after us and care for us as his own. We do not have to be martyrs, but we do have to humbly allow God to direct our lives according to his plans, to avoid making wealth our goal in life, and to open our ears to the cry of the poor, as we hear in today's reading from the Book of Proverbs.May God bless you.

Ep. 27 False Doctrine #7 Get Born Again, Then Get Baptised With The Holy Spirit Ep 27. Free Download. Are you waiting for God to baptize you with the Holy Spirit?     Are you waiting for the anointing to come upon you so that you can minister for God? Are you still waiting to speak in tongues? If you have answered  "yes" to these questions, you are not alone. In fact the greater majority of people in the church answer yes to this question.                                                                                The reason for this is because of a false doctrine that says you have to get born again but then you have to get baptised with the Holy Spirit and speak in tongues.                                         This false doctrine has come about by 2 verses from the bible. One from John chapter 20 and the other from Acts chapter 1.      In John 20:22 we read that Jesus breathed on them and said receive the Holy Spirit. From this one verse, people have assumed that the disciples were born again there.  Then we read over in Acts 1:8 were the Lord said, you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come UPON you.                                                   So from these 2 verses, the assumption is that you get born again by receiving the Holy Spirit, but then you have to have the Holy Spirit come upon you so that you can have the power of God to be a witness for Him.  But the truth is that those who are truly born of God (born again) have ALL of the Holy Spirit. We don't get a portion of Him now and a portion of Him later, once we are born again then we have all of the Holy Spirit just like the disciples did, just like Jesus did.  As we continue on our 'removing the religious glasses series' we will see that this false doctrine (like all false doctrines) has come about by taking verses out of context (one of the bible interpretation principles - read scripture in context).  As we read through the scriptures we see that the Lord said that the Helper (Holy Spirit) would not come until He had gone back to the Father. John 16:7 In chapter 20 the Lord had been raised from the dead but He had not gone to the Father yet. In fact, He remained with the disciples for another 40 days.  So the disciples did not get born again when the Lord breathed on them. Why? Because He had not yet gone to the Father. So when did they receive the Holy Spirit? Stay Tuned... In this episode, you will learn... A recap on the previous episode from our series. (0:49)   A false doctrine from 2 verses.

(16:21)   Why do some not speak in other tongues or walk in the power of God? (25:05)    Pay attention to the Word of God.

Definitions Cessationism is a Protestant doctrine that spiritual gifts such as speaking in tongues, prophecy and healing ceased with the Apostolic Age. It was initially developed by reformers such as John Calvin. Charismatics are defined as Christians who share with Pentecostals an emphasis on the gifts of the Spirit but who remain a part of a mainline church. The Azusa Street Revival was a historic revival meeting that took place in Los Angeles, California. It was led by William J. Seymour, an African American preacher. It began with a meeting on April 9, 1906, and continued until roughly 1915. Heretic is a professed believer who maintains religious opinions contrary to those accepted by his or her church or rejects doctrines prescribed by that church. 16 Fundamental Truths (7. The Baptism in the Holy Spirit) All believers are entitled to and should ardently expect and earnestly seek the promise of the Father, the baptism in the Holy Spirit and fire, according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ. This was the normal experience of all in the early Christian Church. With it comes the enduement of power for life and service, the bestowment of the gifts and their uses in the work of the ministry. Soteriology the doctrine of salvation. Missiology is the area of practical theology that investigates the mandate, message, and mission of the Christian church, especially the nature of missionary work. Pneumatology refers to a particular discipline within Christian theology that focuses on the study of the Holy Spirit.

Are we faking the presenece of the Holy Spirit? All that pastor swag and a rocking band but is the power of Holy Spirit residing in you.

The Holy Spirit is largely misunderstood - He is God and He dwells in us once we call Jesus our Lord and Saviour. But what does the Holy Spirit do in our lives? What does it mean to be sealed/baptised/filled with The Spirit? How do you get 'filled' with The Spirit? What are the fruits and what are the gifts of the Holy Spirit? All these answers and more are in this epic, hour-long codex message...
