Bible Question:
How does the Holy Spirit work differently then and now? There seems to be 3 main schools of thought regarding the working of the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament believers as compared to the New Testament believers. I would appreciate your input on this subject. 1. The Holy Spirit came “on” people of the OT, and comes “in” people of the NT and now. 2. The Holy Spirit came temporarily to people of the OT, and comes permanently to people of the NT and now. 3. The Holy Spirit came to small numbers of people in the OT, and comes to all believers in the NT and now. What do you all think? |
Bible Answer: The problem with Option #2........................ The second option is also commonly accepted. Many people believe that the Holy Spirit came temporarily to people of the OT, and come permanently to people of the NT and even today. The problem is that I am unaware of which scriptures this idea comes from. Any ideas? |
