How are Spiritual Gifts given to the Church?
- As the spirit sees fit (1 Cor 12:11 - All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.)
- For helping others (1 Cor 12) and so that the body can work together properly.
In what measure are the gifts that were exercised by the Apostles manifest today?
all gifts are still available today. It is the one and only spirit who distributes all these gifts. He alone decies which gift each person should have.
- Primary purpose of miraculous gifts at the time of the Apostles was to prove that the gospel was true and that the apostles were truly God’s messengers.
Acts 14:3 And the Lord proved their message was true by giving them power to do miraculous signs and wonders.
- Gift of prophesy - new revelation from God. We now believe Canon is complete,
- So - miracles and prophesy may not be given to the same extent they were.
Differentiate between the fruit of the Spirit and the Gifts of the Spirit
- Fruit - character qualities - a transform that occurs as we become more and more like Christ (Gal. 5:22-23)
- Gifts - given for the benefit of the body (1 Cor. 12:11)
What is the difference between baptism of the Holy Spirit and filling with the Holy Spirit?
- The Scripture seems to teach that the baptism with the Holy Spirit takes place at the moment of salvation. (I baptize you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit)
- The filling of the Holy Spirit is something that occurs repeatedly after the person is saved. Paul tells believers to “Be filled with the Spirit”. (Eph 5:18) - speaking to those who were already Christians.
What are the lessons/errors in light of the charismatic movement and emphasis on baptism and gifts of the Spirit?
Belief that Speaking in tongues is the evidence that you have been filled with the Spirit
Why is belief in the personality of the HS essential to orthodoxy?
- personality is essential to the belief in the Trinity
- personality makes personal relationship possible
- fullfillment of Christ’s promise in John 14:16
