Worship the Holy Spirit??

Matt 28:19; "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,

1 Jn 5:8; the Spirit and the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement.

Being baptized with water is not the same thing as being baptized in the Spirit.

Mark 1:8; "I baptized you with water; but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit."

Acts 1:5; for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now."

Acts 11:16; "And I remembered the word of the Lord, how He used to say, 'John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.'

Acts 8:14; Now when the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent them Peter and John,
Acts 8:15; who came down and prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit.
Acts 8:16; For He had not yet fallen upon any of them; they had simply been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Acts 8:17; Then they began laying their hands on them, and they were receiving the Holy Spirit.

They had been baptized in water... but the Holy Spirit hadn't fallen upon them yet.
The same thing happened with Paul (Saul) on the road to Damascus.

Acts 9:16; for I will show him how much he must suffer for My name's sake."
Acts 9:17; So Ananias departed and entered the house, and after laying his hands on him said, "Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road by which you were coming, has sent me so that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit."
Acts 9:18; And immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he regained his sight, and he got up and was baptized;

After Paul met Jesus, he was blind for 3 days. But hadn't received the Holy Spirit yet either.
It was also two separate events for Cornelius and his family.

Acts 10:3; About the ninth hour of the day he clearly saw in a vision an angel of God who had just come in and said to him, "Cornelius!"
Acts 10:4; And fixing his gaze on him and being much alarmed, he said, "What is it, Lord?" And he said to him, "Your prayers and alms have ascended as a memorial before God.

Cornelius already new God, but he hadn't received the Holy Spirit yet.

Acts 10:44; While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who were listening to the message.
Acts 10:45; All the circumcised believers who came with Peter were amazed, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also.
Acts 10:46; For they were hearing them speaking with tongues and exalting God. Then Peter answered,
Acts 10:47; "Surely no one can refuse the water for these to be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit just as we did, can he?"
Acts 10:48; And he ordered them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay on for a few days.

In Cornelius's cases, they were baptized in water after they received the Holy Spirit,

Also the "disciples at Ephesus"

Acts 19:1; It happened that while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul passed through the upper country and came to Ephesus, and found some disciples.
Acts 19:2; He said to them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" And they said to him, "No, we have not even heard whether there is a Holy Spirit."
Acts 19:3; And he said, "Into what then were you baptized?" And they said, "Into John's baptism."
Acts 19:4; Paul said, "John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in Him who was coming after him, that is, in Jesus."
Acts 19:5; When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Acts 19:6; And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began speaking with tongues and prophesying.
Acts 19:7; There were in all about twelve men.

These men had already been baptized in water, but they hadn't received the batism of the Holy Spirit yet.

Do you have read that the apostles have baptizing in the name of the Holy Spirit?

Well it seems that is mostly how they did baptize people, as most of them had already been baptized in water.

2 Tim 3:16; All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;

All of the Bible is relevant, there aren't any "that doesn't apply anymore" verses in the new testament.
As soon as we start picking and choosing what "still matters" and what doesn't, we are making ourselves God.
We are deciding what God is saying, instead of letting the Bible say it.
 
Eph 4:30; Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

An impersonal force cannot be grieved, but a person with feelings can be.

Matt 3:16; After being baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove and lighting on Him,
Matt 3:17; and behold, a voice out of the heavens said, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well-pleased."

The Father was in heaven, but it was His voice here. The Son was in the water. The Holy Spirit was a dove. All three manifestations of God were there.

Mark 1:9; In those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
Mark 1:10; Immediately coming up out of the water, He saw the heavens opening, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon Him;
Mark 1:11; and a voice came out of the heavens: "You are My beloved Son, in You I am well-pleased."

Luke 3:21; Now when all the people were baptized, Jesus was also baptized, and while He was praying, heaven was opened,
Luke 3:22; and the Holy Spirit descended upon Him in bodily form like a dove, and a voice came out of heaven, "You are My beloved Son, in You I am well-pleased."

John 16:7; "But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.

The Holy Spirit is not Jesus, in fact the Holy Spirit didn't come until Jesus was resurrected.

John 7:39; But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

The Spirit "whom" those who believed... The Holy Spirit is a "whom".. a person.
 
Mat 28:19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
"in the name of......Singular therefore Father Son Holy Spirit have one and the same name :)
He did not said "in the names" neither "on those names"
Because Father ,Son,Spirit are tittles or characteristics... but not names,
THATS WHY PETER understood and knew His name and in the day of Pentecost baptise everyone "in the name o Jesus Christ"
(if you give me a check and i go to bank , if i say "Hi ! give me those money in the name of My Father and His Son and His nature"//// all this is corect but yoy will not get money :) because you have the God in the name of your father and yours
 
"in the name of......Singular therefore Father Son Holy Spirit have one and the same name
the word name is "any word" or "title" by which any person or thing is known. This is not just any Father, any Son, or any Holy Ghost, but it is the Father of Jesus Christ, and the Son of the Father, and the Holy Ghost, the third person of the Godhead.
 
@pet -- the trinity is very unique. We have salvation Only because Of the working together Of the Father, and the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Godhead -- that word is only used once in Scripture. But it's inner-working is observed throughout Scripture.

A title and a characteristic are two different things. The title is a 'noun' and the characteristics are 'adjectives'.

God -- His title/ role is that of Father.

Jesus Christ = 2nd person of the trinity -- God's Son -- Savior -- Redeemer -- Lamb of God. The song "What a Friend we have in Jesus".

Holy Spirit = Comforter, Convictor of sins, teacher, guider, sealer of our soul until we are with Jesus Christ. , 3rd person of the Godhead , comes to indwell our soul at the moment of our salvation.


@Curtis -- the father of Jesus Christ -- the biological father of Jesus Christ was actually the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit 'came upon' Mary and thus she conceived. The legal earthly father of Jesus Christ was Joseph. Mary and Joseph were considered his Legal parents.

In the Godhead -- Jesus Christ did Not have a Father in the sense that human beings have a Father. The Father-figure in a household is generally the head Of -- leader of the pack.

There Are some belief systems that see God and another entity to have given birth To Jesus Christ. Just like human parents -- it takes male and female to create a child. Well -- in the spiritual world -- God is The Father and Jesus Christ is in position of Son-hood but not in the sense of being a son as We think of being a boy.

In Scripture , Jesus Christ IS putting himself in submission To God the Father. Just as We are to be in submission to God Our Father and to each other.
 
Because Father ,Son,Spirit are tittles or characteristics... but not names,
I think your thinking is not quite right. A "title" for God the Father is "God" also with the Son, and Holy Spirit are also called "God". Their names are the Father, the Son of God, and Holy Spirit which is their names individually.

'GOD' is...

@Curtis -- the father of Jesus Christ -- the biological father of Jesus Christ was actually the Holy Spirit.
Jesus is never called, "the Son of the Holy Spirit". The method on how Jesus came into the world is not who Jesus's father was. He is the Word of God known as God the Son who came by his Father's will who sent him.

Did they say in the name of the Holy Spirit or received the Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit is the power of God the Father and Jesus His ONLY BEGOTTEN SON. That's mean that the Holy Spirit is their breath/mind

Where I can read in the Bible the words "God Holy Spirit"?

Acts 5:3-4 (NKJV)
3 But Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself?
4 While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God."

'GOD' is...
Father, Son and Holy Spirit

God the Father
God the Son, Jesus, Yeshua
God the Holy Spirit

Father, Son and Holy Spirit are the three persons in the Godhead.

One God, 3 persons, the Triune God

One God, eternally exists in three Persons:
- the Father
- the Son, and
- the Holy Spirit

these three are one God
- co-equal and
- co-eternal

having precisely the same nature and attributes, each having their own tasks in the Godhead, they are all worthy of Worship and Praise

Matthew 3:16-17 (NKJV)
16 When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him.
17 And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."

Matthew 28:19-20 (NKJV)
19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.

Mark 12:29 (NKJV)
29 Jesus answered him, "The first of all the commandments is: 'Hear, O Israel, the LORD our God, the LORD is one.

John 1:14 (NKJV)
14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

2 Corinthians 13:14 (NKJV)
14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.

Acts 5:3, 4; (Above)


The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are three person's of the One True God.

They are equal but not to be considered 1/3rd's, they are, co-equal and co-eternal
 
the word name is "any word" or "title" by which any person or thing is known. This is not just any Father, any Son, or any Holy Ghost, but it is the Father of Jesus Christ, and the Son of the Father, and the Holy Ghost, the third person of the Godhead.
Yes is not any Father, is the Father of our Lord,
Tittle and Name are dofrent words (nobody gaves his child a tittle)
God and Father of our Lord gave His name to His Son whi manifested.
No scripture to support that the Spirit is thethird part of a Tri-unity of Gods.
So if they verse i could believe but now i dont (sorry)
"Now the Lord is the Spirit" (does refer to Jesus as Spirit? YES! Does the bible says "we only have One Lord? YES!
Dies the Bible says we are one body and One Spirit? YES
So now come to the next verse
'God is Spirit" :smile: and now come back to the previous verse "Now the Lord is the Spirit! ...and nowwego to this verse "for us on;y One Lord" and "Onebody and one Spirit ,like you were called,,,,, One Lord ,one Faith ,one Baptism etc.
anyway lovely brother (were are you from?)
i can seat and write all day and night but i dont want anymore to debate. For me is very clear, i dont trust theologians or philosophises or seminaries etc. to understand the Bible ,especially if the person has not being saving yet how can teach me?
the problem is we have a filter in our minds and we judge anyone depends\
\ on what they told us.....

title is not a name.
i have the tittle "short" maybe because is a characteristic but if they call me like this..i dont consider sone know my namy for real.
every relationship starts of knowing the other persons name.
God gives very very much emphasis to know His name.
At list at Hebrew and Greek every name means something ,usually means one or some characteristics of that person.
like i told you there is no personal relationship without even know the name of someone. and to finish with this "This is the eternal life to know You ,the only real God and he you had send them ,Jeus Christ" (so is very very important and of course progressively to know Him more and more. Now 2 questions ,1) why is important to know just the 2 of the 3 members of the trinity? And 2) How you know the unvisible Father? i mean if they were 2 coegual perosns in the Godhead then must share the same atributes. Then why you can know the Son and only though the Son you come to know God?)
-No verse ever says the Holy Spirit is the 3rd persons.
even the word "godead" is a translation, normally the word means Divinity ,but even in the term God=head we can notsee more than one persons.
-Yes exactly there is not simply a father but The Ftaher of our Lord, but everybody is father of somone else ,so can you just go to the street and call someone "Father"?
And final let me please make you one question (the others were just us food for thought) :)
If God was a 3 persons ...think. when Jesus command us to bapitse in their One Sgnular name and Peter and Paul and aaalll apostlesobbey Him and baptise them in the name of Jesu Christ ,the name above all names. Then why you can not axcept that God has one name?
(if it was something like body-soul-spirit like me and you ,then why to give an other name to your soul and other to the body? Are you one or three beibgs?
amen! :)
 
I think your thinking is not quite right. A "title" for God the Father is "God" also with the Son, and Holy Spirit are also called "God". Their names are the Father, the Son of God, and Holy Spirit which is their names individually.
you have spirit? yes!
you have body and soyl? amen,
but do you have 3 personalities? or names?
i am a human, God is God. but we also have characters and name.
and humans ok, you can say there are many! But for God?
Bible says "although there are many gods and lord on this wolrd, but for us there only One God the Father and One Lord Jesus Christ" :smile:
So is important how you name Him...otherwise you can just worship an other "god or lord" )like Paul writes)
Now to the verse : why Paul said only the Father is God? (because is Spirit ,so Holy Spirit is not an other person)
Are you a Son? (sure yes) maybe a Father? i wish! are you a human being? yes/
they call you Son? orFather? Or "hey human being"? :) No!
 
but do you have 3 personalities? or names?
I have three separate parts that makeup "one" man. I have a body, and I have a soul (which is spirit) and I have a spirit. My body is never called my soul, neither is my soul the same thing as my spirit. Man is three in one, and each part is different from each other, and they are never called the same part.

God is father, Son, and Holy Spirit which make up "one" God. Never is the father called the Son, neither is the Holy Spirit ever called Jesus. Since God is "Spirit" each part of God is a spirit, and each one is "light". Light dwelling in light that is light altogether as one.

Does God have a body? Yes, he does. What, or who is his body?

Col 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
Col 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

Notice: all of the fullness of the Godhead dwells in "bodily" form inside Jesus Christ who is God's body! Jesus is the "brightness" of God's Glory who is light. God is light, and in him (Jesus who is light) dwells another light which is God the father. The Holy Spirit is also light since he is called God who is light.

No man can live inside God unless he himself becomes light. Only light can live inside light as there is no darkness in God.

Eph 5:8 for at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light

Psa 36:9 For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.
 
Are you a Son?
I am a son of God, but I am not God the father or the Son of God, or the Holy Spirit.

1Jn 3:1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
 
-No verse ever says the Holy Spirit is the 3rd persons.
1Jn 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
 
Then why you can know the Son and only though the Son you come to know God?
God the father is the one who reveals his Son, and only the Son can reveal the Father, and this is all done by the Holy Spirit who reveals what the father says, which in turn only speaks what he hears.

Mat 11:27 All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.

Joh 16:13 But when He, the Spirit of Truth (the Truth-giving Spirit) comes, He will guide you into all the Truth (the whole, full Truth). For He will not speak His own message [on His own authority]; but He will tell whatever He hears [from the Father; He will give the message that has been given to Him], and He will announce and declare to you the things that are to come [that will happen in the future].
Joh 16:14 He will honor and glorify Me, because He will take of (receive, draw upon) what is Mine and will reveal (declare, disclose, transmit) it to you.
Joh 16:15 Everything that the Father has is Mine. That is what I meant when I said that He [the Spirit] will take the things that are Mine and will reveal (declare, disclose, transmit) it to you. (AMP)

Notice: the Spirit of truth, which is the Holy Spirit only speaks he hears the father say, and he, the Holy Spirit reveals everything that belongs to Jesus.
 
Brother Curtis, @Curtis I am in full agreement with what you include above.

Brother Curtis @Curtis and Brother pet @pet

I share this verse Matt 23:9 as it is not acceptable to God, it is very RCC and used in other denominations also. But we are not to call anyone dad on earth. All earthly male parents, are dad, daddy, papa, pa and other similar meant names which no doubt vary across the world God created.

Matthew 23:9-10 (NKJV)
9 Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven.
10 And do not be called teachers; for One is your Teacher, the Christ.

Peace be with you \o/
 
I am a son of God, but I am not God the father or the Son of God, or the Holy Spirit.

1Jn 3:1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
your soul is not of the same substance as your body neither two deferent persons. thats what i am trying to say. Neither you are made by 3 distinct persons who communicate with each other etc.
So if your are in the likeness of God ,if God were 3 persons then you also had to be 3 perosns, but we only see one Adam>
ofcourse the Son is not the Father,
Actually the Son is "the body" :) amen . Yes all the fullness of God dwells in Christ bodily.
Son= flesh, Father=Spirit, the invisible Spirit within the Son is God. Thats waht makes the Son God, he inhered all the glory of the Father.
So nobody (except some Modalists) say that the Son is the Father etc. :) No!
But we (the Church) say that Jesus is the Father and the Son.
The body (Son,hyman flesh) inhered and manifest all what the Spirit (God,Father) is. God gave His name to the Son "the name above all names" .
The resurrected body of Jesus is spiritual and has all the functions of the Spirit within .
That is why in the new earth ans new heavens we will see God like :
Rev.21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb [is] the light thereof.
Like all the Bible teaches ,we will always see God uncisible glory in the face/person of Jesus Christ.
(The Son is NOT the Father, but the Father is IN the Son, So when we see the Son we see the unvisible Father.
Also keep in mind they are one! the differences was the nature. Jesus was 100% human and 100% God.
Not 30% like trinity seays :) but 100% For example the Son prayed, who prayed? The flesh not God. God dont get born, not have beginning neither ending, dont die, dont pray, dont have someone sle to obey him etc. all those characteristics was of the human nature.
Father=Spirt,God ,invisible, unborn, without mother without father, no beginning of days neither ending, actually is the beginning and the end.
Son= Human, got born, died,was visible ,had flesh, prayed, obeyed, got hungry , and most important has blood!!!! that was why God made that body of flesh and walked within us! For our redemption.
Nowthose two natures together make "God in Christ)
Christ is the Spirit that spoke through the prophets from the Old Testament. and then when came in flesh ,the flesh ( Son) inhered that name.)
So yes Jesus is my Father :) "i will not leave you orphans" (but this does not means that we dont believe in the two natures!)

Rev 22.3 "but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him" One person "Him"
4 And they shall see his face; and his name [shall be] in their foreheads. (you see? One face, one Name)
