Hi gracefull, Thank you for your testimony and input. Here are some Scripture verses with my interpretation by use of capitalization for what it is worth. I will put in my usual slashes and parentheses for comparisons. l) Luke 11:13, "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your heavenly Father give [the] holy spirit to those who ask (Him)?" Acts 5:32, "And we are His witnesses of these things; and so is the holy spirit, which God has given to those who obey (Him)." 2) Acts 10:45-47, "And all the circumcised believers who had come with Peter were amazed, because the gift of the holy spirit had been poured out upon the Gentiles also. For they were hearing them speaking with tongues and exalting (God). Then Peter answered, "Surely no one can refuse the water for these to be baptized who have received the holy spirit just as we did, can he?"" Luke 5:25, "And they were seized with astonishment and began glorifying (God); and they were filled with fear, saying, "We have seen remarkable things today." 3) Acts 11:16, "And I remembered the word of the (Lord), how He used to say, 'John baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the holy spirit.'...same gift...18 "Well then, (God) has granted to the Gentiles also the repentance that leads to life." John 1:4, "And gathering them together, He commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for what the Father had promised, "Which," He said, "you have heard of from (Me); for John baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the holy spirit, not many days from now." 4) Acts 2:4, "And they were all filled with the holy spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit was giving them utterance." Acts 2:17, "'And it shall be in the last days,' God says, 'That I will pour forth of My spirit upon all mankind; and your sons and daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams; Even upon My/ bondslaves, both men and women, I will in those days pour forth of My spirit and they shall prophesy. And (I) will grant wonders in the sky above, and signs on the earth beneath, blood and fire, and vapor of smoke.'" Acts 11:18, "Well then, (God) has granted..." Titus 3:4,5, "But when the kindness of God our Savior/ and His love for mankind appeared, He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to (His) mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the holy spirit, which He poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, that being justified by His grace we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life." 5)Matthew 3:11, "As for me, I baptize with water for repentance, but *He who is coming after me is mightier than I, and I am not fit to remove His sandals; He/ will baptize you with holy spirit and fire." John 1:33, "'...this is the *One who baptizes in the holy spirit. And I have seen, and have borne witness that this is the Son of God/.'" Gracefull, it appears to me that you were led through the book of Acts while a young adult. That to me would be where you were filled with the holy spirit and received the word of truth. We all are commanded to be filled with the holy spirit. From the heart, Ray |

Forgive me, Ray, but in all these scriptures listed you do not see the Holy Spirit as the third person of the Trinity promised to take up His abode in each believer as Jesus promised? Tim Moran...where are you? How is Holy Spirit translated in the New Testament? According to my Complete Jewish Bible all of the above verses Holy Spirit is translated 'Ruach HaKodesh'. And in the King James, New King James, and NAS it is translated Holy Spirit. "Gracefull, it appears to me that you were led through the book of Acts while a young adult. That to me would be where you were filled with the holy spirit and received the word of truth. We all are commanded to be filled with the holy spirit." Ray, are you saying to be filled with the holy spirit is to have our human spirit made holy through teh blood? While I agree with this if you are speaking of the new birth, i do not agree with your interpretation that the Holy Spirit Jesus was speaking of is our spirit being made holy. Both my experience and scripture bear witness. I must stay with the interpretaions I trust on this one. When I capitalize pronouns such as Word, it is to convey a message of my belief, the Word being the living Holy Spirit breathed revelation of the person Jesus Christ. An enhancement for communication purposes. I will be out of town for a few days. My mother-in-law is going home to be with the Lord. Her homecoming day! God bless |

Greetings Graceful! Sorry to hear about your mother-in-law's health, but glad to hear that she is going to be with the Lord. You asked: "Tim Moran...where are you? How is Holy Spirit translated in the New Testament? According to my Complete Jewish Bible all of the above verses Holy Spirit is translated 'Ruach HaKodesh'. And in the King James, New King James, and NAS it is translated Holy Spirit." "Holy Spirit" in the New Testament is simply the words 'hagios' or 'Holy' and 'pneuma' or 'Spirit'. It doesn't occur very often, but this is what place where Ray and I have disagreed. While it is certainly true that 'pneuma' alone can refer to something or someone other than the 3rd Person of the Trinity, I don't believe that the two words ('hagios' and 'peuma') ever refer to anything or anyone other than the Holy Spirit (the 3rd Person of the Trinity). Ray believes that there are both the Holy Spirit and a holy spirit, with the later being a thing, not a person. But, I differ with him at this point. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Thank you Tim. I wanted to make sure I was understanding his point correctly. My mother-in-law was 91 and lived a very full life! We will truly miss her but so glad she is now home with Jesus. Thank you and God bless |
