AMPLIFIED 2015 | Acts 2:38 And Peter said to them, "Repent [change your old way of thinking, turn from your sinful ways, accept and follow Jesus as the Messiah] and be baptized, each of you, in the name of Jesus Christ because of the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. |

Bible Note: Ray writes: "Also, please rewrite your last sentence without the question mark so I know what you mean exactly. Later, Ray" OK, Ray, here goes. Following is my question rewritten as a statement. Hope this helps: Change original last sentences to: "What do you mean when you write "the Holy Spirit IS the Spirit of Christ"? "Yes, the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Christ and the Spirit of Christ is the Holy Spirit. (It is equally true that '2 plus 2 equals 4' AND that '4 equals 2 plus 2'.) Caution: this does NOT mean that the Spirit of Christ is NOT the same as the Spirit of God. There are NOT two separate and distinct Spirits -- the Spirit of God and the Spirit of Christ. (It is NOT true that '1 equals 1' AND '1 equals 2' -- both these statements cannot be true at the same time. The truth is '1 equals 1' -- STOP PERIOD.) Not three Spirits, but one. Each of the above terms refers to one and the same Holy Spirit. One Spirit -- many names and titles. But one of those names is neither Jesus, nor Christ, nor Christ Jesus, nor Jesus Christ. On the other hand, it is One God, three Persons; not One God, One Person." |
