The truth about

the Holy Spirit

What people were hiding all these years?
 ***The truth about the Holy Spirit***
Why this book?

The idea of writing this book came out of concern for multitudes
of Christians, whose Christian life is well below what the Bible
calls: Normal Christian Life.Why is that-one may ask? The main
reason is crooked foundation that was not laid up properly.The
stakes are high, because this is the reason of ruin of so many
people today.

Foundation of life of every Christian should be Jesus Christ, His

teaching and building on His Word-by the power of the Holy
Spirit.Speaking with many people and seeing the quality of their
lifes I came to realize there is a huge need for every Christian to
come back to the foundation, as given in the Bible.

It doesnot take years of reading the Scriptures to realize that from the beginning God worked miraculously in
the lifes of the Believers-let's take into consideration the lifes of Abraham, Moses, David, Samson etc.God
wanted to manifest His power, to show people He is the One they need! The only True God!

We must remember that the Bible is inspired Word of God and that means-Holy Spirit inspired men of God to
write it.It was not because of their reason, intellectualism and schooling! The same Holy Spirit must be in our
lifes, inside of us to fulfill His role and allow us to become what God intended us to be

It's not up to our capacities, smartness, you name it, to live holy life according to the Bible. Jesus said:"Wait
TILL you receive power from on High!"Why is that? Because the life of Christians should be supernatural,
enveloped in power from Holy Spirit to convict, change us in the image of our Lord -Jesus Christ, to overcome
any temptation, sin and demon, to live victoriously day-after-day!

If I ask you to be honest-how many of you live that kind of life?I suppose there are not so many who will
qualify.Right?The race we take part in must be finished in victory,we must remain to the end,doing what God
told us-preaching, healing, casting out demons, doing spiritual warfare etc.

Analogically, as the Holy Spirit wrote the Bible, it's clear He has to show us the meaning and make us
understand.It's not only intelectual, but God has to reveal to us Himself and give us proper understanding of
who He is, who is Jesus Christ, how can we be saved, how one can become righteous before God.We need to
seek Him in prayer that He can unveil to us the Bible. One of the biggest problem of nowadays Christianity is
that people seem to follow others instead of looking to the Bible, spending time on knees in search for answers!

Some went out of the dead, apostate religion of Roman Catholicism, in order to join groups who preach
TRADITIONS OF MEN that disagree with the Scriptures. TRADITION OF MEN will never change us,
because it stems from MAN, be it of the greatest of preachers! If it is not based on the Holy Writ, as showed by
the Holy Spirit-it's not fulfilling its role. People feed on plenty of unsavory meat and are hungry and unfulfilled!

Some even think this is the way it should be, blinded by DENOMINATIONAL TEACHING, that doesnot
correspond with the Holy Ghost! They smile, clap their hands on Sunday, but deep down inside they can feel

2
 ***The truth about the Holy Spirit***
something is missing.This is the reason why we need to address it-here and now! Dead, stagnate Christian life is
NOT what God intended!Because people left the guidance of the Bible, and are NOT baptised in the Spirit at
all, there is no joy, no victory, no growing up in the Lord.This is the reason.

If you're one of that kind of people-know today:God has NOT changed!We can and should walk even closer
than the First Church, because over 2000 years passed by! God has a plan, so please join in and read into
material presented on this web. Make copies of the articles, go to your prayer closet, open the Bible and PRAY!
Seek Jesus with all your heart.The best is yet to come!

Allow God to plow your doctrine with the plough of the Holy Spirit.It can be painful at first, but if you remain-
the result will be great.If only YOU allow Him.Crooked foundations must be destroyed, ground should be
cleaned and new construction builded by Holy Spirit should appear. Let Him build, let Him remove the stones,
sticks, rabble of presupposition and let strong bulding appear.In Jesus Mighty Name!

We build on the Rock who is Jesus Christ alone-but many doctrines allowed to raise up crooked buildings who
may not survive when wind, flood come! All that is NOT of Christ shall be ruined .It can remain for a while,
but soon or later the winds of trials shall blow. Allow God to build you up on sound doctrine! Allow Him to
build the testimony in your life. He is living God, Jesus Christ saves, heals, gives victory over powers of
darkness and false religions.

We must not become people who pick up CERTAIN doctrines from the Bible, like MENU in the restaurant, and
decide which we believe and how! God has already given it for the profit of those who will attend to it!

 ***The truth about the Holy Spirit***
The Holy Spirit in the OT

The Holy Spirit was operating from the beginning, as we can notice in
the Book of Genesis. Every man of God like Eliah, Elisha, Moses,
Samson etc were operating in the Holy Spirit. However not all the Israel
had Him.There are two examples to illustrate the real birth from the
Spirit.God gave us glimpses of how it should look like in the future, in
global(among Christians) scale, available for all who belive and will
believe in Messiah-Jesus Christ.

Let’s go to the Book of Numbers 11:16-29:

“And Yahweh said unto Moses: Gather 70 of the elders of the people…
and I will take of the Spirit which is upon you, and will put it upon
them.(Moses is future type of Christ)…And the Lord came down in a cloud and spoke to him and took of the
Spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto seventy elders. And it came to pass that WHEN(moment) the Spirit
rested upon them, they prophesied and did not ceased(tongues).But there remained two of the man in the camp,
the name of one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad and the Spirit rested upon them, and they were of
them that were written(two of seventy) but went not unto tabernacle: and they prophesied in the camp.And there
ran a young man and told Moses and said Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp.And Joshua, the son of
Nun, the servant of Moses, one of the young men, answered and said:My lord, Moses, forbid them!And Moses
said unto him: Enviest thou for my sake? Would God that ALL Jahweh’s People were prophets and that the
Lord would put His Spirit on them!”

Is not the same problem today? It’s clearly visible from text that God decided to give of His Spirit(similar to
Paul’s placing of hands on people in the NT), that was before on Moses to seventy elders. Please notice-they
were believers but WITHOUT The Holy Spirit.God poured out Him on sixty eight in the Tabernacle and on two
in the camp(among the people).I believe God did it intentionally to show right attitude towards the Holy
SpiritFor us to observe! Young man went to Moses to announce what had happened.

It brought quite a stir! Attitude of this young man was proper-he did not understand but turn to Moses for
explanation. Other man, Joshua was unknowledgeable and judged it according to the flesh. He did not
understand the mind of God!It’s the same Joshua, who will in the future stand for God! The same who will lead
the camp of Israel to possess Canaan.Notice how his attitude will change.Moses gave him godly rebuke and
Joshua did not separate to or form another camp/faction, that believe in God but disagree with His work!

There was no Moses camp and Joshua camp. Moses who believes in the work of God thru The Holy Spirit and
Joshua who murmurs and denounces Moses, and warns other about him, against miracles for nowadays and
outpouring of the Holy Spirit with visible manifestations- tongues, prophecies.We see that THE Bible certifies
of the Holy Spirit as being on Joshua and Caleb (Num14:24).At first ONLY Moses was full of the Spirit, later
seventy elders, at last Joshua and Caleb among about million-member congregation!

They ALL believed in God! What percentage was baptised?Moses gave to Joshua Godly rebuke and he yielded,
believing this is work of God. Moreover Moses prophesied that in the future God will do it for all!Outpouring
of the Spirit is prophesied in Book of Isaiah(701-681 BC), Jeremiah(587 BC), Joel(630 BC?).

4
 ***The truth about the Holy Spirit***
It was eternal plan of God to fill all His people with His Spirit. This Prophecy started to fulfil in NT for those
who come to Jesus as the only Saviour!Please check The Holy Spirit in the OT. Similarly like the coming of
Messiah-Jesus Christ is prophesied from thousands years before He came in the flesh, The outpouring of the
Holy Spirit is prophesied.Please remember that God did not do ANYTHING until He showed it to His servant,
the prophets! First prophecy, then God’s action in His time.True birth in the Spirit is shown in 1 Samuel 10:5,
9-10, 11.

This is the case of Saul, who was a believer in Jahweh. As we can see from the following verses, something
both AUDIBLE and VISIBLE as well as INTERNAL change could be NOTICED. When the Holy Spirit
comes, there is always MANIFESTATION.God doesn’t believe in silent, delusional baptism so called. The
same like you cant be the true child of God, apart form coming to Jesus, similar pattern is with the Spirit.You
must be BORN AGAIN of God’s Holy Spirit.

This is not option, not opinion of man, but given of God to empower us, change, to work in us, make us repent
and work miracles. You can’t make it without being baptised in the Spirit! God said to Saul:

Thou shall meet the company of prophets( who already have baptism) coming down from high place with
psaltery, a tabret , and a pipe, and a harp, before them, and they shall prophesy(tongues).And the Spirit of the
Lord(Jahweh) will come upon you and you shall PROPHESY(tongues) with them, and shall turn into
ANOTHER MAN…And it was so, that when he had turned to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart…
And …a company of prophets met him and the Spirit of God came upon him, and hePROPHESIED among
them(tongues in public). And it came to pass, when all that Knew him before, SAW that, behold, he prophesied
among them, then the people said to one another: What is that is come unto the son of Kish? Is Saul also among
the prophets?(1 Sam 10:1-10)

Again, we see prophets upon whom there was the Holy Spirit already. God said to a believer- you shall be
baptised and three things happened:New Birth(Born Again, new heart) Tongues, prophesying ,People SAW
something has changed in him, it was no longer Saul they knew. But looked like those who were closed to God-
the prophets! Nobody told them, they could see with their own eyes. The change was for good. How different is
being taught nowadays, in today’s religious world? How far they went away from the Bible?

Pretending to outsmart God, they became fools. For further study of prophecies announcing baptism in the Holy
Spirit in the OT please read:

 ***The truth about the Holy Spirit***
The Holy Spirit in the NT

The Apostles and other believers were not baptised at all TILL the
time of Pentecost arrived. John the Baptist prophesied about Jesus
that He appears as Messiah(Christ)and will baptise with the Holy
Spirit and fire. It happened however AFTER Jesus Christ was
crucified, raised from the death and after appearing to many
believers was taken to heaven.

From the time of crucifixion to the Pentecost it passed fifty days.

Please read the section of Holy Spirit in the OT before you proceed
further in order to have greater understanding.Nicodemus was a
person who believed, but as hidden believer at that time he came to
Jesus at night. Jesus told him: Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit,he cannot enter the Kingdom of
God…That which is born of Spirit is spirit… You must be born again.(John 3:5-7)

Jesus teaches you need to come to Him directly, believe on Him and be baptised IN the Holy Ghost. He doesn’t
mention that church building can save you nor being a member of a church. Children of God are born not of the
will of the flesh or men but of the Spirit. He needs to come inside of you.Remember what happened to Saul? He
was not born again TILL the Holy Spirit came in him, although he WAS A BELIEVER from a time. Bible
clearly shows that it is NOT AUTOMATICALLY happening.

Further verses pointing out they were not baptised automatically are the following:

Gospel of John 14:16 Father SHALL give you another Comforter(the Holy Spirit)
Gospel of John 14:17 He SHALL be in you
Gospel of John 14:26 Holy Ghost, whom the Father WILL SEND
Gospel of John 15:26 WHEN the Comforter(The Holy Spirit) IS COME
Gospel of John 16:7 IF I(JESUS)NOT GO AWAY, the Comforter WON’T COME
Gospel of John 16:13 WHEN He, the Spirit of Truth is come, He will

As you can easily notice-the Holy Spirit was not given AT ALL to the Apostles nor to any other believer TILL
Jesus went away to the Father(after crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension). Bible mentions that the Holy Spirit
was not given cos Jesus was not glorified. John the Baptist prophesied about Jesus-baptiser in the Spirit,
however he did not specify the time. We see it was to be at the time of Pentecost. After resurrection Jesus did
not come straight to Father but appeared to many(Acts 1:3) and was taken up after forty days since resurrection!
From the time of ascension to Pentecost was another ten days. Till Pentecost, the Holy Spirit was IN JESUS.

“For He dwelleth with you(in Jesus) and shall be IN you” (Gospel of John 14:17)

The Holy Spirit was not inside the Apostles till THEIR PENTECOST. Bear in mind that Jesus never sent
anybody to the mission field UNTILL they were baptised in the Spirit (Gospel of Luke 24:49).

The same rule and commandment the Apostles used in dealing with the believers. Baptism in the Spirit is not
only for Apostles, but for the whole church of Jesus Christ, every age!The model for baptism was given in Acts

7
 ***The truth about the Holy Spirit***
2 and if you have not received Him this way it means you haven’t received Him AT ALL.There is no other way
given in the Bible! Remember what’s happened to Saul? Read this:

And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of the rushing mighty wind and it filled All the house, when
they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And
they were ALL filled with the Holy Ghost and began to speak with other tongues as the Spirit gave them
utterance” (Book of Acts 2:2-4.)

Do you remember what Moses said? All camp was filled this time, just as God prophesied. Do you remember
Saul? The same happened to the Apostles:

1. Change(look at Peter before and at this time)

2. Tongues
3. Strong reaction of people (Ac 2:5-13)

Now the Holy Spirit was given but it doesn’t mean that now all believers who will accept Jesus, thru preaching
of Apostles or other believers(there were a hundred and twenty in the upper room) will be baptised
automatically! We need to go to the Scriptures again:

They sent unto them(believers form Samaria) Peter and John who, when they were come down PRAYED for
them that they may receive the Holy Ghost.(For as yet He was fallen upon NONE of them. Only they were
baptised in the name of the Lord Jesus).Then laid they their hands on them and they received the Holy
Ghost(tongues)Acts 8:14-17

These verses are dealing with this question clearly. None of the believers were baptised after accepting Jesus
Christ as Saviour. But after salvation, two Apostles came and:

1. Prayed
2. Laid hands
3. Tongues(Ac 8:18-19) cos ex-magician saw what happened to them and desired this gift

How do we know they were speaking in tongues? Cos Apostles themselves received it this way and compared
this to their experience as well as to the Bible.(Mk 16:17)

“They shall speak with other tongues”(supernatural)

“For the promise is unto YOU, to YOUR CHILDREN, and to ALL THAT ARE AFARE OFF, even AS MANY AS
THE LORD OUR GOD SHALL CALL”(Acts 2:39)

“While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on them which heard the Word. And ..(Jews)…which
believed(in Jesus) were astonished…cos on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Spirit. For they
HEARED them speak with tongues and magnify God. Then answered Peter: Can any man forbid water that
these should be not Baptised, which have received the Holy Ghost AS WELL AS WE?” Acts 18:44-47

"as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them AS ON US IN THE BEGINNING Acts 11:15 Then
remembered I the word of the Lord how He said: John indeed baptised (immersed) in water, but ye shall be
baptised with the Holy Ghost. Forasmuch as God gave them THE LIKE GIFT AS HE DID UNTO US, who
believed on the Lord Jesus Christ: What was I that I could withstand God?" Acts 11:15-17

8
 ***The truth about the Holy Spirit***
Can you see his way of thinking? Moses was for it, Apostles knew it was for the whole church in all the ages.
No you have to decide who is wrong-Prophets, Moses, Peter or your pastor and denomination? If the Bible is
wrong, it looks like you don’t follow Jesus Christ but the imaginations of your creed! To nail it down, let’s look
at the Apostle Peter. He found in Corinth:

”certain believersHe said unto them: Have you received the Holy Ghost SINCE YOU BELIEVED?” Acts 19:1-
2

Why he asked them such obvious question? You can know if you were baptised or not by TONGUES, new
heart and change on the inside of you people can notice!

“They were baptised in the name of the Lord Jesus. And when Paul has laid his hand upon them the Holy Ghost
came on them: and(as a result) they spake with tongues and prophesied. And all the men were about twelve.”
Acts 19:5-7

Paul re-baptised them and prayed for the Holy Ghost to be imparted to them! As we could notice Paul was
already baptised himself. If you are not baptised, the Holy Spirit can’t be imparted on others thru laying on your
hands! The other possibility was that God from heaven sent Him as mentioned in Acts 18:44-47 Why receiving
Him is such an important thing?

Role of the Holy Spirit The verse in the Bible

This topic is so immense, but I believe although I scratched the surface I gave enough of foundation to
prayerfully ponder about itIn the next section you read about truth that has been concealed.

9
 ***The truth about the Holy Spirit***
Truth that was hidden

In this relatively short section I will try to answer the question: Why would someone hide the truth and teach
others this way?Well, man has two choices either reads the Bible
and follows what God has written there or follow traditions which,
as this example will show, often may appear to be of human
invention.Why would someone make up his/her own tradition?

1. because of blindness
2. to be famous and different
3. to glorify people, their brain instead of being OBEDIENT
TO GOD.

Your suggestions?As I said- not all traditions are wrong but if they
don’t match the Bible, you have to decide what to follow with all
the consequences in your life!Let God and His word be true and every man who tells it otherwise be a liar!Do
not be as certain man, Jeroboam, who introduced his own ideas that people can follow HIM, under the guise of
true religion!:

Whereupon the king took counsel and made two claves of gold and said unto them: It is too much for you to go
up to Jerusalem- behold thy gods, o Israel, which brought you out of the land of Egypt…And this thing become
SIN” (1 Kings 12:28-30)

Now many generations passed from the time of Exodus. This ungodly man suggest you shall follow his leading,
cos reading Bible is too much for you. Here you have ready sermons, traditions-come in and enjoy! He
organized the whole cult-read further-under the guise of worship of Jahwe!Dear brother or sister, whom do you
follow? Do you follow men or God of the Bible? Who is right-Lord Jesus, all Apostles or your pastor and
denomination? I challenge you to look for answers as soon as you can!

“Now this I say,that every one of you says: I am of Paul, and I of Apollos, and I of Cephas, and I of Christ. Is
Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were ye baptised in the name of Paul?” 1 Cor 1:12-13.

Paul is saying that he preaches the Gospel as Jesus gave it! You need to follow Jesus and listen to Him, not
follow men like Luther, Calvin, Smyth, none of them died for you!Go back to Apostles’ teaching , who were
given by the Holy Ghost!Whatever is just tradition of men, let’s get rid of it! You can NOT live the life of
Apostles not being baptised as they were!It is not their own intellect, knowledge but Holy Spirit work in them!
Trusting and following the men brings curse not blessing! Let’s quote some disturbing sentences to make you
think!

“Why have we not heard about the people in preceding chapter and their supernatural experience? Part of that
reason is that most of the books that tell these stories have long been out of print and are difficult to find today.
But there has been also a conspiracy against the supernatural by most recent writers of theology and church
history.Remember George Wishart His contemporaries called him a prophet and told about some of his
prophecies. John Howie wrote a short biography of Wishart’s life in 1775, using John Fox’s writings and other
sources, some of which came form the people who lived at the same time as Wishart(1513-1546).In the 1775
edition of the book, Scots Worthies-Howie wrote of Wishart: ”He possessed the spirit of prophecy to an

10
 ***The truth about the Holy Spirit***
extraordinary degree”. In a revised and expanded version…published 71 years later, in 1846, the editor
changed Howies’ original sense to read:” He possessed an extraordinary degree of sagacious foresight”(p.87)

It’s treachery and act of satan to change the meaning of words to suit popular denominations! Will they buy this
book otherwise?

“When we were discussing our differences on this point I was citing Scriptures as my reason for believing that
God still speaks. Rather than interact with me on a Scriptural basis, he continually cited from theological
writings of the Reformation period.This was true for the most of our discussion. In fact, I don’t’ think it would
be an overstatement to say this man was more at home in the writings of Calvin and Calvinists, than he was in
the literature of the Bible. It was apparent a I listened to him that he had more confidence in Calvin’s
interpretation of the Bible than in actual writing of Paul.On a practical level, Calvin was a grater authority for
him than even Apostle Paul. On a theoretical level he would never admit it, and would be highly offended at my
even suggesting it. Yet I cannot help believing on a practical level it really is true.This case is not unusual. I
feel that other are also more coincident in citing their theological traditions RATHER THAN CITING AND
ARGUING FROM SPECIFIC TEXTS OF SCRIPTURES. In effect it makes the originators of those traditions
whether they be Calvin, Luther or someone else, equal if not greater in authority than apostolic writers of
Scripture”(p.273-274)"

Was Reformation mistaken? Surely not! But treating Luther as infallible voice, without checking the Bible and
prayerfully looking for answers is wrong.Reformation brought many good things, many broke from the yoke of
the darkness of Papacy and could experience salvation in freedom in Jesus! They exposed the devilry of Pope’s
institution. However they were not perfect in theology. Besides the BibleStates: Be ye not the followers of men!
You belong to Jesus and He told you to examine Scripture and pray to understand it!Now be ready for a shock!

Justin Martyr(100–165)

“If you want proof that Spirit of God who once was with your people, has left you and came to us, come into
our assemblies and there you shall see Him casting out devils,Heal the sick, hear Him speak in tongues and
prophesy”

Arnobius(?-330)

“Christ appears even to the men unpolluted and eminently holy who love Him: Whose very name put evil spirits
to flight, smites the prophets dumb, deprives soothsayers of the power to answer, and frustrates the acts of
arrogant magus.”

Luther(1483-1546)

“Luther was a prophet, evangelist, speaker in tongues, and interpreter, in one person endued with all the gifts
of the Spirit”(Souer)

Hugenots(16th century)

“Supernatural gifts including speaking in tongues”

Print this page and bring to your pastor and ask him about some explanation. Why is that seminaries teach not
the truth but prepare preachers who know what some people said not as it is written in the Bible? Doesn’t that
shock you?Years of indoctrination, false teaching, changing the history, some writings, concealing the truth as it
happened to suit their denominations? God help us.

Hello Luke,

Wonderful to meet you by email. Just wondering how you come to be asking me these particular questions – do
you live in Mullingar? I’ll try my best to answer the questions, but I’m a bit unsure about question 2 – would
you mind explaining some more? In terms of when a Christian receives the Holy Spirit, I suppose there is a
sense that the Holy Spirit must be already at work in the heart – Jesus as he speaks to Nicodemus reminds us of
this aspect of the Spirit’s work – no-one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again (John 3). The new-
birth / regeneration is the Spirit’s work. In another sense the Christian receives the Holy Spirit at conversion –
the Holy Spirit indwells every Christian, transforming them into Christ’s likeness, bearing in their lives his fruit
(Galatians 5). Don’t know if this answers?How do you answer?

Warm Christian Greetings,

Stephen

Another Presbyterian minister from Presbyterian Church answered:

Hi Luke,

13
 ***The truth about the Holy Spirit***
(1)Christians receive the Holy Ghost (holy Spirit) at the moment when they become Christians (Romans 8:9)
but there are many occasions thereafter when they have a fresh experience of the Spirit’s work in their lives.
We do not believe in a ‘second blessing’ but that there are many occasions when we are filled and better
equipped by the Spirit for special tasks. ( 2)Please explain what you are asking as I don’t fully understand the
question. What does sb mean?

Kind regards

IM

Presbyterian Church,

I would distinguish between a person ‘announcing’ that

he/she had received the baptism – if a second blessing was
meant – as I do not accept a second blessing theology which
teaches effectively that you can be a Christian without having
being baptised in the Holy Spirit – that this comes at a later
stage. I refer you to Acts 19:1-6 Here, Paul is clearly
surprised that the people he met seemingly hadn’t received
the Holy Spirit. The “then” of verse 3 gives it away.I do, though firmly believe that speaking in tongues is one
of the gifts of the spirit – and would have no problem in someone speaking in church - but only and always if
there is an interpretation given (1 Cor 14:13) - otherwise I would ask the person to sit down and be quiet!
Many ministers within my tradition (but not me) believe that Tongues was for the apostolic age only. This I
cannot accept. Yes I would allow it – but with the above caveat - always remembering that Paul makes it very
clear that tongues is the least important gift. (1 Cor 14:19). This begs two questions (1) why do certain
churches give it the unhealthy prominence they do and (2) where does the theology come from that teaches that
speaking in tongues is the sign of conversion? This I don’t accept.

Reformed Presbyterian Church pastor replied:

Dear Luke,

I have been asked by the webmaster of the Reformed Presbyterian Church of Ireland website to reply to your e-
mail which we were glad to receive. I am minister of one of the Reformed Presbyterian Congregations - in
Loughbrickland (our congregational site is www.loughbrickland.org ).We believe that the Holy Spirit works in
the heart of a sinner in the new birth and this is the cause of his believing upon the Lord Jesus Christ. We do
not believe there is a distinct 'second work' of the Holy Spirit which may be called the baptism of the Holy
Spirit. Rather, we believe that a Christian is indwelt by the Spirit of God from the very beginning of the
Christian life and that the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit is one of a process of continuing sanctification. We
do not regard all the gifts of the Holy Spirit given in the Apostolic age as intended to continue permanently in
the church after the apostolic age - those which entailed fresh Divine revelation being temporary like the gift
and office of Apostle itself. We would not allow audible attempts to speak in tongues in our congregations.

I hope this helps, but do feel free to come back on any point.

Glossary

I tried to explain some vocabulary you can meet in other sections. I

picked up the ones in my opinion need to be explained. Below there
is a list of some words that in different denominations may and are
define differently.
Born Again
A mandatory requirment to enter the Kingdom of God. In
order to become a Christian, one has to repent, believe in
Jesus Christ as personal Saviour and be baptized in the Spirit
with speaking in tongues.
Gifts of the Spirit
Charismata (from Greek).They are manifestations of the
Holy Spirit. The Bible list nine gifts in 1 Cor 12

1. Faith
2. Tongues
3. Prophesy
4. Discerning of spirits
5. Word of wisdom
6. Word of knowledge
7. Miracles
8. Healing
9. Interpretation of tongues

The Holy Spirit

Third person of the Godhead, whos workings we can notice in the Old Testament , He was given to
SOME people-men of God, but the Bible prophesy that ALL believers will receive Him in New
Covenant.Contrary to popular, unbiblical teachings Holy Spirit was not given to Apostles at the moment
of conversion but as we look to the Bible, they received Him on the day of Pentecost! Bible clearly
states:Holy Spirit was not given to indwell believers TILL Jesus was glorified.Even after one has to pray
to receive Him, and there is visible, audible manifestation of reception of this gift=TONGUES
Speaking in tongues
Manifestation of the reception of the Holy Spirit(baptism).Bible differentiates two types of tongues:

1. Of human
2. Of angels

Spiritual Warfare
This is ancient conflict between fallen angel-Lucifer and the only true God-Jahwe. The battle is for the
souls of all humanity.After Jesus was glorified, there was a war in heaven and God smote this angel
down, to the Earth, and cast him down. Now devil and his angels(¾ of all the angelic host rebelled and
followed devil and now are behind false religions, cults, occults, philosophies, different ways of life
etc).On whose side are YOU? Final conflict will take place in Armageddon, when joined forces of
humanity enegized by satan will be destroyed and God's order established.New Heaven and New Earth
are to come to existence. Devil's plan is to blind people from coming to Jesus, and thus to send them to
hell, and then to lake of fire, that was prepared from the beginning to satan and demons.Those who
remain in rebellion will spend eternity there, suffering all the time in unquenchable fire, where worm
never dies. All believers in Jesus are in active, hands-on conflict with the armies of the enemy of the
souls of humankind.We war spiritually, destroy demonic arguments, work and uproot them. To be
victorious in this battle, Christians must be baptised in the Holy Spirit and war with the use of gifts,
walking in close relationship with the Lord.
OSAS
False doctrine common in today's lukewarm churches so called. Basically they preach only love Gospel,
no consequences for living in sins. Only believe is their motto.To contrast this Jesus said: Without
holiness no one shall see the Lord.Whoever remains to the end in belief in Jesus, thus shall he be
saved.We are saved now, by grace, but need to walk in the Holy Spirit, not to fulfill the lust of the flesh.
