Filled with the Spirit

By Steve Fontenot

Benchley, November 10, 2008

Luke 1:15?- John would be filled witht eh Holy Spirit even before he was born.
Acts 2:4?- apostles filled witht eh Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost.
Ephesians 3:18?- be filled with the Spirit
The phrase “filled with the Spirit” is idiomatic.? It is not literal.
- Acts 10:44?- “fell upon” is idiomatic as well
- II Timothy 1:14?- “dwells in us” is idiomatic
- Acts 1:5?- “baptized with the Holy Spirit” is also idiomatic.
- These figures of speech were often used then just as they are now.
Luke 4:28?- “filled with” means “under the influence of”
- Acts 5:3?- Ananias was under the influence of Satan
- Romans 1:29?- people who were under the influence of evil
- Romans 15:14?- filled with knowledge
Being filled with the Holy Spirit is not the same as being baptized in the Holy Spirit.
- Acts 1:4-5?- Baptism in the Holy Spirit is not a command to be obeyed.? It is a promise to be kept.? It was only promised to the apostles.
- Luke 1:15?- This is not the same as baptism in the Holy Spirit.? See Luke 1:41,67.
  - There’s no record of Zacharias and Elizabeth ever prophesying again.
  - Acts 7:55?- the Holy Spirit temporarily allowed Stephen to see heavenly things.
  - Acts 13:9?- the Holy Spirit affected Saul
  - The power of the Holy Spirit may act only temporarily.
Ephesians 5:18-19?- result of the Holy Spirit’s power.
- Colossians 3:16?- same result here, but different cause.? The gospel caused the result!
“Filled with the Holy Spirit” can mean a variety of things.
- Acts 2:4?- Here it means the apostles had the ability to speak in tongues.
- Acts 4:8?- Here it allowed Peter to speak what the Holy Spirit gave him to speak.
- Acts 11:22-24?- Here it is connectd with Barnabas and this particular mission.
- Acts 13:52?- Verse 48?shows that this refers to the knowledge they had of salvation for the Gentiles.
Never in the New Testament is “filled with the Holy Spirit” used to mean some kind of loss of bodily control.
Don’t let error rob you of the beauty and power of truth!
Ephesians 5:18-21
- If we don’t sing, we aren’t filled with the Spirit!

The Indwelling of the Holy Spirit
By Jesse Jenkins
Benchley, May 4, 2008

The New Testament says the Holy Spirit dwells in the Christian. II Timothy 1:14
So it is not a question of whether but of how.
Is it literal and personal, or is it representatively through His revealed Word?
Deity dwells in the Christian.
- The Father – II Corinthians 6:16; I John 4:12
- Christ – Ephesians 3:17
- The Holy Spirit – II Timothy 1:14
- What is the meaning of Deity dwelling in the Christian?
- No one thinks that the Father and Christ dwells in us personally.
Definition of two words:
- “In” means “in union with” – John 17:21
- “Dwell” means that the Word controls one’s life – Revelation 2:13; Colossians 3:16
Things that equal the same thing equal each other (transitive property).
- John 1:7 – walk in light = fellowship with God
- Walking in light = Holy Spirit dwelling in one
- Therefore, Holy Spirit dwelling in one = fellowship with God.
Summary
- Colossians 3:17 – Deity dwells in the Christian by faith. Faith comes by hearing the Word. Romans 10:17
- Every influence ascribed to the Holy Spirit is also ascribed to the Word.

Holy Spirit		Word
John 3:3,5	Born	I Peter 1:22
John 16:7,8	Convicts	Titus 1:9
Acts 9:31	Comforts	I Thessalonians 4:18
Titus 3:5	Saves	James 1:21
II Timothy 1:14	Indwells	Colossians 3:16

Let the Word control your life and the Holy Spirit will dwell in you.

The Holy Spirit’s Role Today
By Jesse Jenkins
Benchley, April 27, 2008

In conversion
- The Holy Spirit does operate in the conversion of the sinner.
- No sinner can be converted without the work of the Holy Spirit.
- But how does the Holy Spirit convert?
  - Not directly, but through His revealed word.
    - God draws man through the Word. John 6:44-45; Romans 1:16; II Peter 1:3; Jude 3; II Timothy 3:16-17
    - There is no evidence that God draws man any other way.
    - God calls man by the gospel.
- By the Word, He:
  - Calls – II Thessalonians 2:14
  - Draws – John 6:44-45
  - Begets – James 1:18
  - Cleanses – John 15:3
  - Purifies – I Peter 1:22
  - Enlightens the heart – Psalms 119:130
  - Effects the new birth – I Peter 1:23
  - Saves – James 1:21
- The Word is the only means by which the Holy Spirit ever converted anyone
  - When the Holy Spirit influenced man directly, He influenced the teacher, not the hearer.
    - Pentecost – Acts 2
    - The Samaritans – Acts 8
  - The Eunuch – Acts 8
  - Saul – Acts 9
  - Cornelius – Acts 11, verse 14 specifically
In spiritual growth
- By the Word, He:
  - Guides – Psalms 119:105
  - Causes growth – I Peter 2:2
  - Builds up – Acts 20:32
In judgment
- His word is that by which He will judge. John 12:48; Matthew 7:24-27; Romans 2:16
Whatever the Holy Spirit does, He accomplishes through His word.
To receive the Word is to receive the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit
By Jesse Jenkins
Benchley, April 6, 2008

Three classifications of intelligent, rational beings.
- The Godhead or God family.
- The Angelhood or Angel family.
- The Manhood or Man family (Humanity).
The Father has the characteristics of an intelligent, rational being:
- He loves. John 3:35
- He has life. John 5:26
- He has a will. John 5:30
- He has knowledge. John 10:15
The Son has the characteristics of an intelligent, rational being:
- He speaks. John 6:63
- He teaches. John 14:26
- He has compassion. Mark 8:2
- He invites. Matthew 11:28-30
The Holy Spirit has the characteristics of an intelligent, rational being:
- He speaks. I Timothy 4:1
- He teaches. John 14:26; 16:13
- He can be lied to. Acts 5:3
- He can be resisted. Acts 7:51
All three are referred to as God.
- Ephesians 4:6 – the Father
- John 20:28 – the Son
- Acts 5:3-4 – the Holy Spirit
All three work together in salvation:
- The Father made the plan. John 3:16; Ephesians 3:10-11
- The Son executed the plan. Luke 19:10; Ephesians 1:7; I Timothy 2:5-6
- The Holy Spirit revealed the plan. John 14:26; 16:13; Luke 24:49; Acts 2:1-4
The Holy Spirit’s role in the time of the apostles:
- John 14:26 – gave apostles an inerrant remembrance
- John 16:13 – guided apostles into all truth
- Luke 24:49; Acts 2:1-4; 8:18 – empowered them to work miracles to prove their message was from God
Summary
- Jesus is the blood sacrifice by which sins can be forgiven. Ephesians 1:7
- The gospel is the guide to salvation. Romans 1:16
- Faith that obeys in love is the acceptance of the Father’s plan. Galatians 5:6
Have you taken advantage of the plan provided by the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit?
