SERIES: THE HOLY SPIRIT!!!
Who is the Holy Spirit?
,
INTRO: Tonight we are going to begin a series of messages on the Holy
Spirit.
We are heading towards Pentecost Sunday on May 20th.
While we are Pentecostals I believe it is important for us to understand the basis of our beliefs in the Holy Spirit.
Not only will we be looking at our beliefs, but even some views of the Holy Spirit from other points of view.
The study of the Holy Spirit is important - and many people are interested.
(Notes Derived from Systematic Theology 3 @ Southern Seminary with Dr. Gregg Allison)
A Proper understanding of the Holy Spirit is critical for many things.
o Our understanding of salvation
o Our grasp of assurance of salvation
o Understanding of perseverance
o Our sanctification (we can’t mature without the Holy Spirit)
o Reading Scripture
o Praying ()
o Understanding and following God’s Will
o Exercising Spiritual Gifts
o Etc, Etc, Etc,
4 And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from Me; 5 for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.” 6 Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” 7 And He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority.
8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
1 When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.
3 Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
TITLE & PRAYER (Who is the Holy Spirit?)
There are divisions within the Church today over the Holy Spirit, more specifically the Holy Spirit Baptism.
As a matter of face deep divisions exist.
Let’s take a quick look at the different movements & views of the Holy Spirit.
1) Pentecostals/charismatics
(First Wave Movement) Beginning of 20th century – CA – Azusa Street Revival Pentecostal, Apostolic, Assemblies of God and other Pentecostal denominations have the origins or roots in this revival.
The core belief is that the Baptism by or with the HS is a second blessing that takes place subsequent to salvation (seconds, minutes, hours, days …).
Pentecostals believe that speaking in tongues is a necessary manifestation of the Spirit Baptism.
Pentecostals also believe that
miraculous gifts (all including sign gifts) are given and available and should be common place in the church (word of wisdom, word of knowledge, faith, gifts of healings, miracles, prophecy, discerning of spirits, tongues, interpretation of tongues).
​(Second Wave) 1960s – Charismatics – enters mainstream churches
Michigan – Ann Harbor /South Bend Indiana/Ohio
Non-Pentecostals/charismatics
These believe that at the time of conversion – Jesus Baptizes the believer with the Holy Spirit to incorporate them into the Church.
They do not believe it is a subsequent event, but simultaneous with salvation and that Jesus does this.
They also do not believe that tongues are a necessary sign of the Spirit Baptism.
Many believe that speaking in tongues is a result of peer pressure or even demonic activity.
They believe that there are no miraculous or sign gifts being distributed by the Holy Spirit to the Church today.
They don’t say that God can’t do miracles or healings.
But if He does He does it Himself.
In other words, we don’t have any bearing in whether or not a miracles takes place.
They believe that miracles and signs were reserved for the early church to confirm the Gospel message and the Gospel messengers.-
(Third wave evangelicals) 1980’s – They embrace some theology of Pentecostalism, yet rejects others.
It’s more of a “pick & choose” type of theology.
· From non-Pentecostal side
o They believe that Baptism of the Holy Spirit happens at
the moment of conversion to incorporate into Church
o They don’t believe that it’s necessarily accompanied by speaking in tongues (may & may not be)
· From the Pentecostal side
o They DO believe sign gifts are continued and should be common place
Tonight, let’s look to answer the question, “Who is the Holy Spirit?”
We see that there is a deep division among the Christian Church on how the Holy Spirit works today, but over the next few weeks we are going to seek to gather a biblical perspective on who He is, and how we relate to Him today … So, Who is the Holy Spirit?
First of all, we need to …
I) CONSIDER HIS PERSONALITY
a) He understands all things.
The HS is omniscient (all-knowing, all-
intelligent)
