Dear Ray, Pentecostals do believe the Holy Spirit is a Person, just not a third person. God is a Spirit, and God is Holy. God's name is Jesus. The bible teaches that the Holy Spirit IS the Spirit of Christ. 1 Pet 1:10 Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: 1 Pet 1:11 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. 1 Pet 1:12 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. Rom 8:9 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. Rom 8:10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. Rom 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. If you note, Peter and Paul use the terms "Holy Ghost", Spirit of Christ, Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead, etc. interchangibly. If you receive the infilling of the Holy Ghost, God has turned your body into His temple and God dwells in you, the Spirit of Christ Jesus. We chose to concentrate on and understand that we are speaking about One Supreme Being who has manifested Himself to mankind in several different ways, but was always the same God. The terms Father and Son are merely titles used to describe relationship. To my daughters, I am Father, but to my Mom and Dad, I was son. To my siblings, I am brother. How many persons am I? Just one! My name is Glen. The one you refer to as Father, Son and Holy Ghost is just One too, and His name is Jesus! |

Hi GStrecker, You've heard all the discussions and you have reasons for what you believe. I can not condemn you as heretical. You believe that Jesus is Lord; the Lord Jesus. You believe that the Father is Lord: the Lord God. You just don't believe in the Lord Holy Ghost; I don't think I do either. You believe in the Spirit of Christ. You believe in the Spirit of God. You just don't believe in the Spirit of the Holy Spirit; I don't think I do either. Do you believe that Jesus came in the flesh? Scripture tells us that that is important. You don't mention the Spirit of God very much here. I would expect that we would disagree most about the "infilling of the Holy Ghost". Scripture doesn't speak of the Holy Spirit of God or the Holy Spirit of Christ, or the Holy Spirit of the Spirit; I believe it is because He is a Person. Acts 7:5l talks about resisting the Holy Spirit and killing the Righteous One. John 14:26,"But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things..."is speaking of a Person. If you want to know all things, then you have to remember all the things He said. Scripture talks about the Just One, but the One that I refer to is Three in One. Holy, holy, holy is His name. Let's talk about the "infilling" later. Ray |

Neither do I condemn GStrecker as a heretic. What I said was: "The problem is that a *group’s* denial of an essential biblical teaching excludes that *group* from Christianity. While there may be some Christians in Oneness churches, *the movement as a whole* is non-Christian." |
