How is it that people who equally love and honor Jesus can reach such different conclusions about the person and work of God the Spirit? Isn’t it just like the devil to create division in the Church over that member of the Godhead who lives inside the Christian and is at work in the earth today! Having the same Bible, you would think that we would believe the same things about the Holy Spirit, His ministry, the gifts He imparts and how He leads and guides believers today.
But large numbers of Jesus-followers intensely disagree and divide over what they believe (or do not believe) concerning the Holy Spirit.
This episode of Mavericks & Misfits walks us through what Jesus himself teaches about Holy Spirit. While there is much more written in Scripture than what we find from the Lord in John 16, we can certainly learn much about what Jesus intended for every generation of His followers to learn and believe about God the Spirit. This episode begins a series of podcasts which will help both Charismatics and non-Charismatics to frame up their views on the Holy Spirit that is free from denominational limitations, unexamined traditions and unsupported practices. We need to align with the Word of God in all our beliefs. What we believe about the Holy Spirit is no exception.
