1 | Does the Holy Spirit work differently? | Bible general Archive 2 | Sir Pent | 115001 | ||
Is Option #3 the only difference................. The third option is definitely true. The Holy Spirit did come to less people in the Old Testament than it came to people in the New Testament. In the Old Testament, it was a rarity for the Holy Spirit to come to a person, and was limited mainly to prophets, kings, and other important people. In the New Testament, the Holy Spirit comes to all who believe in Jesus Christ. But is this the only difference? Does anyone have any ideas for more options? |

2 | Does the Holy Spirit work differently? | Bible general Archive 2 | Sir Pent | 115002 | ||
One possible difference………………………….. Another forum member previously directed me to the passage in Galations 4:1-7. It speaks of how we who have accepted Christ are “sons” instead of merely “servants”. It also says that because of this God sends the Holy Spirit “into our hearts”. There is no passage in the Old Testament that contains the specific phrase “into our hearts” when referring to the Holy Spirit. So perhaps this is a difference between how the Holy Spirit worked in the Old and New Testaments. Perhaps entering “into our hearts” is the new method that the Holy Spirit uses. What do you think? |
