DiCianni Baptism of the Holy Spirit
Today,
points are shared on the Holy Spirit as an inseparable aspect of
divine fullness. A writer in the “Yahoo! Answers” public forum
on Religion and Spirituality who uses the ID “glenda” (Level 1

The
Doctrine of the Holy Spirit and THE PERSONALITY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.?
THE
GOLDEN ARROW: Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into
the temple, and taught. And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth
this man letters, having never learned?Jesus answered them, and said,
My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. If any man will do
his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or
whether I speak of myself. He that speaketh of himself
seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him,
the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him. (John 7: 14-18,
King James Version, KJV)

“glenda”,
here are some points to consider as you continue to discover the
sacred knowledge that is shared among mature Christian
believers:
1.
Each aspect of the divine fullness (we also say, divinity; the
Godhead; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit) is described
having completeness, discrete form, integrity, personhood, purpose,
substance, and works. The Father is the origin of sacred doctrine
provided to mankind that appears among the three. Jesus Christ, who
has appeared and ministered on the earth, and who is made known by
the revelation that is recorded throughout the Bible, is the chief
spokesperson who proclaims the doctrine. The Holy Spirit (we also
say, the Comforter, the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of Prophecy, the
Spirit of Truth) has no doctrine of his own, and he authenticates,
certifies, and complements the appearance of divinity as active
presence, sacred doctrine, and sovereign will.
2.
Ordinarily, divine fullness is spirit in form, process, and
substance; spirit is diffuse and unrestricted by the frameworks of
time and space. Jesus Christ has appeared in heaven and on earth
using flesh and blood to connect with and represent humanity. In
addition to life essence (i.e., breath, spirit, word) from the
makeup of GOD, the human form may embody measures of spirit substance
from the makeup of divinity, we say, imparted, indwelling Spirit.
Included are balance, faith, holiness, longsuffering, lovingkindness,
oneness without sameness, wisdom, and wrath against
sin.
3.
The Holy Spirit is not self-promoting; and there is no forgiveness
to those who blaspheme the Spirit. Many mistakenly think that the
presence and works of the Holy Spirit appear only in the New
Testament following the death of Jesus on the cross. It was not
until Pentecost that there was an outpouring of gifts from the Holy
Spirit for the establishment of the early church. Careful reading of
the Scriptures show that the Spirit was present from the beginning of
Creation, and provides consciousness and self-will within created
beings and living creatures that establish communication, exchange,
and interaction (ongoing relationship) with GOD.
There
is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually
apprehended. (For example, 4. John 3: 31-36, King James Version
(KJV): 31 He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the
earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from
heaven is above all. 32 And what he hath seen and heard, that he
testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony. 33 He that hath
received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true. 34 For
he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not
the Spirit by measure unto him. 35 The Father loveth the Son,
and hath given all things into his hand. 36 He that believeth on the
Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall
not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.) Even so, I trust
this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your
faith.
