You appear to be sincere in baiting people. I'll give you one shot, you go
funny on me and I'm finished with the discussion.
The Holy Spirit is a person, not an impersonal force. He is co-equal with
the Father and the Son. He is present in the world to make men aware of
their need for salvation. He also lives in every Christian from the moment
of salvation, causing us to be born again (regenerated). He provides the
born again Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual
truth, and guidance in doing what is right in the sight of God, not men. He
also gives every believer one or more gifts for minstry, and He seeks to
bear fruit in our changed character, making us more like Christ. As a
Christian I seek to be filled with the Spirit and live under His control on
a daily basis. I have included a short number of Scripture references for
you as well.
2 Corinthians 3
17Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is
freedom.
John 3:3
3In reply Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom
of God unless he is born again.
John 16:7-13
7Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on
stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at
the face of Moses because of its glory, fading though it was, 8will not the
ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious? 9If the ministry that condemns
men is glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry that brings
righteousness! 10For what was glorious has no glory now in comparison with
the surpassing glory. 11And if what was fading away came with glory, how
much greater is the glory of that which lasts! 12Therefore, since we have
such a hope, we are very bold. 13We are not like Moses, who would put a veil
over his face to keep the Israelites from gazing at it while the radiance
was fading away.
Acts 1:8
8But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will
be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends
of the earth."
1 Corinthians 2:12
have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God,
that we may understand what God has freely given us.
1 Corinthians 3:16
16Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit
lives in you?
1 Corinthians 12:1-3
1Now about spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant. 2You
know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you were influenced and led
astray to mute idols. 3Therefore I tell you that no one who is speaking by
the Spirit of God says, "Jesus be cursed," and no one can say, "Jesus is
Lord," except by the Holy Spirit.
Galatians 5:22-25
22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness,
goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness and selfcontrol. Against such things
there is no law. 24Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the
sinful nature with its passions and desires. 25Since we live by the Spirit,
let us keep in step with the Spirit.
Ephesians 5:18
18Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled
with the Spirit.
Titus 3:5-7
5he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of
his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the
Holy Spirit, 6whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our
Savior, 7so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs
having the hope of eternal life.
