Bible Note: "IT" is the title of a novel by Stephen King. Punkiedo, you write: "The Holy Ghost is my power. It is my Helmet of Salvation. I know it is real." "MISTAKE TO USE 'IT' WITH REFERENCE TO THE HOLY SPIRIT" "The Holy Spirit must never be considered merely as a blessing, a feeling, or an influence. How far short of the full truth it is to refer to Him as 'It'" ("The Spirit Himself", by Ralph M. Riggs, Springfield, Missouri: Gospel Publishing House, Copyright 1949, 1977). |
