Holy Ghost
Who shall testify of Jesus? John 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
Can we lie to the Holy Ghost? Acts 5:3-4 3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? 4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.
How many bear record in Heaven and who are they? 1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in Heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
What formula did Jesus give for water baptism? Matthew 28:18-19 18And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
What does the Word tell us to covet? 1 Corinthians 12:31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.
Who is the Comforter? Acts 9:31 Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.
How does the Holy Ghost help our infirmities? Romans 8:26 Likewise the spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
What is the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost? Blasphemy against the Holy Ghost, in my opinion and according to scripture, is this: After a person has been enlightened, has tasted of the heavenly gift, and has been made a partaker of the Holy Ghost, if they deny the reality of their experiences, they have committed blasphemy. These are people who know what it is to be saved and set free from sin, to be filled with the Holy Ghost and feel the very presence of God. If, knowing all that has happened to them, they turn their backs on God and publicly deny all they have experienced, saying, “God is not real; the Holy Ghost baptism isn’t real. It’s all lies,” is blasphemy against the Holy Ghost and will never be forgiven in this world, neither will it be forgiven in the world to come.
What will the Holy Ghost reprove the world of? John 16:8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
What is sanctification, and why is it so important in the life of a Christian? It is the separation of ourselves from sin, the laying aside or laying down of those things which entangle us in the world.
What is the difference between personality and corporeity?
Personality (being a person)
Corporeity (having a body)
What does the Holy Ghost do in the conversion of sinners? Convict us of sin
What is the baptism of the Holy Ghost, and how does it differ from salvation? Salvation is when Jesus comes into our hearts to dwell. (We changed from the old man of sin into a new creature.) The baptism of the Holy Ghost is when we invite, through prayer, the Holy Ghost to come into our lives and hearts.
Name the symbols of the Holy Ghost? To name a few: Oil, Wind, Water, Dove
