10 Mistakes People Make with the Holy Spirit (plus 1 bonus): 1. Think He is a ghost like the King James Version of the Bible translates it (no, the Holy “Ghost” doesn’t frighten or spook people who are still alive nor walk the halls at night noisily clanging chains and shrieking at the top of his lungs, neither does He haunt houses and scare young children). 2. Don’t realize that He is a part of a Triune Godhead / Trinity with coequal status with the other Two, Father and Son (three Persons in one God). ( Genesis 1:26a ; 2 Corinthians 3:17 ) 3. Are ignorant of the fact that He (the Holy Spirit) is a Person and not an impersonal “force” like in the movie, Star Wars (the Holy Spirit isn’t flesh and blood, of course, but has a personality ~ Jesus uses 7 personal pronouns in John 16:13 alone, the New American Standard translation, to refer to the Holy Spirit and His personal characteristics). 4. Forget that the Holy Spirit is the one and only source of power for the Church to reach lost souls (human ingenuity or charisma accomplishes nothing). ( Acts 1:8 ; 2:1-4 , 14, 41; Zechariah 4:6 ) 5. Order Him around when He is supposed to be the One ordering their lives. 6. Overlook that it is the Holy Spirit that causes a person to be freed from their sins / born again. ( John 3:6 , 20:22 ; Titus 3:5 ; 1 Corinthians 12:3b ; Acts 2:38 ) 7. Forget that it was by the Holy Spirit that the prophets of old spoke. ( Acts 1:16 ; 1 Peter 1:10-11 ; 2 Peter 1:20-21 ) 8. Forget that it was by the Holy Spirit that the Scripture came into being (thus, there are no errors in the Bible). ( 2 Peter 1:20-21 ) 9. Miss the Holy Spirit’s involvement in the creation of all things and in the securing of man’s redemption (He played a part in raising Jesus from the dead). ( Genesis 1:1-2 ; Romans 8:11 ) 10. Are resisting the Holy Spirit and in danger of missing Heaven because of it (repent and ask God for forgiveness). ( Acts 7:51 ; Romans 10:9 ; John 3:16 ) BONUS Equate His workings (in particular, in the distribution and operation of spiritual gifts in the Church) as confusion. ( 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 ; 14:32-33 ) 39 Likes 6 Shares |

For those who say the Holy Spirit is not a person: Mat 12:31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. Mat 12:32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come. 3 Likes |

Pentecostalists claim that when the Holy Spirit comes to you, you speaking in tongues, or Glossolalia. Glossolalia comes from the Greek word Glossa and it literally means, "tongue." They claim the "lord" is passing a message through them and that one may be blessed with the divine gift of speaking in tongues (languages). Yet, Pentecostalists don't speak in other tongues. Instead, they fall out on the floor and start babbling and muttering, while moaning and talking undecipherable mumbo-jumbo. 9 Likes 3 Shares |

Horus: YESSSSSSS!!! Someone who understands that the practice of screaming random words whilst having an epileptic-like seizure on the floor is NOT a work of the Spirit. It's heretical to brand such behaviour as a working of the spirit. Tongues refer to actual LANGUAGES, and in Acts 2, it was a means to spread the gospel, and it edified the church too. Now, I'm not a cessationalist (one who believes the gift of the tongues ceases to exist due to the closing of the canon), however I do believe that this gift is HORRIBLY ABUSED in many modern day churches, especially in and within Pentecostal gatherings. Pls let us take the workings and authenticity of the Holy Spirit without levity and with the upmost reverence. The Holy Spirit is part of the Trinity and so therefore is God. 9 Likes 1 Share |

2 Peter 1:20-21Revised Standard Version (RSV) 20 First of all you must understand this, that no prophecy of scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation, 21 because no prophecy ever came by the impulse of man, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.[a] 1 Like |

Also calling down holy ghost fire to consume enemies is wrong. There is no such thing as a consuming holy ghost fire. The only consumer fire I know of is Jehovah GOD. 4 Likes |

The Holy Spirit is the third person in the Trinity. He is fully God. He is eternal, omniscient, omnipresent, has a will, and can speak. He is alive. He is a person. He is not particularly visible in the Bible because His ministry is to bear witness of Jesus (John 15:26). Some cults that claim to be churches (they know themselves) say that the Holy Spirit is nothing more than a force (Reasoning from the Scriptures, 1985, pp. 406-407). This is false. If the Holy Spirit were merely a force, then He could not speak (Acts 13:2); He could not be grieved (Eph. 4:30); and He would not have a will (1 Cor. 12:11). The truth is that the Holy Spirit is a person the same as the Father and the Son are within the Trinity. Check out https://carm.org/holy-spirit for better understanding 7 Likes |
