4. We believe in the Holy Spirit. We believe the Holy Spirit to be the third
person of the triune Godhead, equal with God the Father and God the Son and
possessing the same nature; that He was involved in creation, revelation, and
inspiration; that He is in the world today convicting men of sin, righteousness,
and judgment; that He works on behalf of the elect by regenerating them, renewing
them, baptizing them into the body of Christ, and sealing them; that He imparts
at regeneration gifts to all believers to enable them to serve in the body,
these gifts are sovereignly bestowed and all believers have one or more gifts;
that He also fills, leads, teaches, and prays on behalf of all believers.
Matthew 28:19
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:
1 Corinthians 2:11, 12
11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is
in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which
is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
Psalm 139:7
7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
Genesis 1:1-3
1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face
of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
2 Peter 1:21
21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of
God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
John 16:8-11
8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness,
and of judgment:
9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;
10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
Titus 3:5
5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy
he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
1 Corinthians 6:19
19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is
in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
1 Corinthians 12:13
13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews
or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into
one Spirit.
Ephesians 4:30
30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day
of redemption.
