A3 Notes and Questions
B1 Basic doctrine of Holy Spirit
C1 From Matt Slick
D1 With the ascension of Christ, we have the arrival of the Holy Spirit (John 14:26, Acts 2) who ministers to the Church through the mediation of Christ (1 Tim. 2:5) and the Scriptures.
D2 He is fully God. He is not a force. He is the third person of the Trinity.
E1 He has a will--1 Corinthians 2:11
E2 He speaks--Acts 13:2
E3 He loves--Romans 15:30
E4 He can be grieved--Ephesians 4:30
E5 He convicts of sin--John 16:8
E6 He creates--Genesis 1:2, Job 33:4
E7 He gives gifts--1 Corinthians 12:8
E8 He intercedes--Romans 8:26
E9 He teaches--John 14:26
E10 He testifies of Jesus--John 15:26
E11 He baptizes--1 Corinthians 12:13
E12 He guides--John 16:13
E13 He encourages--Acts 9:31
E14 He empowers--Micah 3:8
E15 He gives joy--Romans 14:17
E16 He comforts--John 14:16-26
D3 The Holy Spirit indwells the believer (Romans 8:11) and continues to work in him to bring about sanctification (Romans 15:16).
D4 The Holy Spirit illuminates the mind of the believer (1 Corinthians 2:12, 13) and reveals to him the things of God (1 Corinthians 2:10, 13, 1 John 2:27).
C2 From Free Will Baptist Treatise
The Holy Spirit
1. The Scriptures ascribe to the Holy Spirit the acts and attributes of an intelligent being. He guides, knows, moves, gives information, commands, forbids sends forth, reproves, and can be sinned against.
2. The attributes of God are ascribed to the Holy Spirit.
3. The works of God are ascribed to the Holy Spirit: creation, inspiration, giving of life, and sanctification.
4. The apostles assert that the Holy Spirit is Lord and God.
From the foregoing, the conclusion is that the Holy Spirit is in reality God and one with the Father in all divine perfections. It has also been shown that Jesus Christ is God—one with the Father. Then these three— the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—are one God.
The truth of this doctrine is also proved from the fact that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost are united in the authority by which believers are baptized; and in the benedictions pronounced by the apostles, which are acts of the highest religious worship.
B2 Gender
C1 Hebrew
D1 Original: רוּח
Transliteration: Ruwach
Phonetic: roo'-akh
Part(s) of speech: Noun, Feminine
D2 Some have concluded that since the Hebrew word is feminine, then the Holy Spirit is feminine (she).
C2 Greek
D1 Original: πνεύμα
Transliteration: pneúma
Phonetic: pnyoo'-mah
Part of speech: Noun, Neuter
D2 Some have concluded that since the Hebrew word is neuter, then the Holy Spirit is it (force, effect).
C3 Apostle John
D1 John 15:26
E1
E2 εκεινος is masculine, not feminine. John knew Greek will and deliberately uses the masculine, because the Holy Spirit is "he."
D2 John 14:26
E1 Greek--εκεινος is masculine
E2 The Apostle John knew Greek very well and used this word deliberately.
C4 God is masculine as in Father and Son, so it is most reasonable to believe Spirit is also. God is one God in three persons, not three gods.
B3 John 14:15-27
C1 How do we love God? (Keep His rules).
C2 How does this show love?
C3 What are His rules? Some examples: Lay aside

D5 Who is the "world?"
D6 Why can't the world receive the Holy Spirit?
C6 John 14:18 What is the meaning of this verse?
D1 Clarke in his commentary on this verse writes:
The disciples of a particular teacher among the Hebrews called him father; his scholars were called his children, and, on his death, were considered as orphans. Christ calls his disciples children, beloved children, Joh 13:33; and, now that he is about to be removed from them by death, he assures them that they shall not be left fatherless, or without a teacher; for in a little time he should come again, (rise from the dead,) and, after his ascension, they should be made partakers of that Spirit which would be their comforter, advocate, teacher, and guide for ever.
