AMPLIFIED 2015 | Ephesians 5:18 Do not get drunk with wine, for that is wickedness (corruption, stupidity), but be filled with the [Holy] Spirit and constantly guided by Him. [Prov 23:20] |
Subject: Filled by the holy spirit? |
Bible Note: "The Holy Spirit must never be considered merely as a blessing, a feeling, or an INFLUENCE." Ray: You write: "Hi Kalos, Neither you nor I want to equate the Holy Spirit with His attributes or power. Otherwise we would be saying that the Holy Spirit is just an influence." ------------- As of 16 months ago (April, 2001) I have been on record as saying that the Holy Spirit is not an influence. So I really do not understand what the problem is. I quote: 'kalos Fri 04/27/01, 10:23am' '..."The Spirit Himself", by Ralph M. Riggs, Springfield, Missouri: Gospel Publishing House, Copyright 1949, 1977. What I like about [this book] is that it covers not only the DOCTRINE of the Holy Spirit, but also the PERSON of the Holy Spirit.' Here is a brief sample of the book: "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.'" (Emphasis added.) Grace to you, kalos |
