We believe the Holy Spirit is God who has attributes of eternality (Heb. 9:14) omnipresence (Psalm 139:7-10), omniscience (Isaiah 40:13, 14), omnipotence (Rom. 15:13) and truthfulness (John 16:13).
We believe the Holy Spirit is God (John 15:26; Acts 5:3, 4) who has personality to speak (Acts 28:25) teach (John 14:26) and convince (John 16:8). He can be grieved (Eph. 4:30) quenched (1 Thess. 5:19). He has intellect (1 Cor. 2:10-13 and helps by abiding within believers forever (John 14:16).
We believe that He was sent to permanently abide in believers on the Israelite feast Day of Pentecost after the ascension of Jesus to the Father (Acts 2:1-4). Note: “He came on the Day of Pentecost and it was not “Pentecost” because He came.”
We believe He baptizes believers into the body of Christ (1 Cor. 12:12, 13) and that He is the seal of promise concerning our redemption (Eph. 1:13, 14). He is the ultimate means for the evidence of the power of God working in our lives (1 Cor. 2:1-5) and for understanding the things of God (1 Cor. 2:10-16). We believe He is our defense against the flesh (Gal. 5:16-26). We believe that He imparts spiritual gifts to each member of the body of Christ (Rom. 12:3-8; 1 Cor. 12:4-11) for the express purpose of glorifying God (1 Pet. 4:10-11). We believe He came to testify of Jesus Christ and does not seek to be worshipped (John 16:7-15).
