IV. THE HOLY SPIRIT: His personality (John16:7-15); and deity (Acts 5:3-4); and His work in each believer: baptism and indwelling at the moment of regeneration (I Cor
12:13; Rom 8:9); and filling (Eph 5:18) to empower for Christian life and service (Eph
3:16; Acts 1:8; Gal 5:22-23).
[We believe that The Holy Spirit provides each believer one or more spiritual gifts “for serving one another" (1 Peter 4:10); and gifted men to the Church for perfecting (Eph 4:11-13).
However, apostolic sign-gifts and miracles, even in the early Church, were not for all believers (1 Cor 12:28-30) and ended with the
Apostolic era (1 Cor 13:8 ; 2 Cor 12:12; Heb 2:3-4).
We also believe that Spirit baptism is a once for all action, at the moment of regeneration (Eph 4:5; 1 Cor 12:13).]
Tony Evens, The Fire That Ignites (5-8)
Pretend with me for a moment that you need a new refrigerator.
You walk into an appliance store one afternoon and quickly spot the 1 you want ,the most expensive model naturally with all the Bells and whistles.
The shelves even slide out automatically when you open the door.
This is the real thing the refrigerator for the 21st century.
You buy it for $10,000 they promise to deliver it that very day.
On your way home, you stop at a food market and buy plenty of groceries.
And you've just carried the last bag into the kitchen when the delivery man arrive.
They bring your new shiny appliance inside and set it in its place, and you immediately stock it full with all the wonderful food you've purchased.
That night you fall asleep thinking of delicious meals to come.
The next morning, you go eagerly to the kitchen and open your refrigerator's door but the shelves do not come gliding out automatically they just sit there.
What's worse, melted ice cream in the freezer section has run down and is all over everything.
The vegetables are turning color and you discover that the milk has gone sour.
It dawns on you that your top of the line refrigerator is not functioning as you were led to believe it would.
You grab the phone, call the appliance store and ask to be connected with the sales person who sold you the merchandise.
When he answers you give him a piece of your evangelical Christian mind.
Look, you say, I gave you $10000 you sold me a lemon.
The salesman is stupefied.
Well, he says earnestly, will you please go and open the refrigerator door again and then tell me if the light comes on.
You step over and open it.
No light.
well, do me a favor, the salesman continues would you put your ear down at the bottom where the motor is, and tell me if you hear a hum?
You bend over and listen.
No hum.
Now then, the salesman says, if you don't mind, would you kindly look under the back of the refrigerator and check to see if the cord is plugged in tight?
You go and look behind the refrigerator.
The end of the cord is lying there, loose on the floor.
You get back on the phone.
“I checked and the cord hasn’t been plugged in.
But for ten thousand dollars, that shouldn’t matter.
For ten thousand dollars, it ought to work just on general principle!
That’s when the sals man gently clarifies something for you.
Appliances, he explains, are intricately designed to have astounding capabilities.
They are, however, dependent in nature.
While they have all the component parts needed to perform everything the manufacturer designs each appliance to do, they aren’t able to accomplish this on their own.
The first need to be empowered by the fire that electricity provides.
Only then can the parts do what the parts were designed to do.
When you and I gave our live to Jesus Christ, He gave us new parts.
He gave us a new mind, a new heart, a new conscience and a new disposition.
He granted us a whole e new nature inside our existing body.
We must clearly understand that we’re dependent by nature.
We were never re-created in Christ to function on our own.
We need power; we need enabling from another source to ignite the proper functioning of the new nature God has provided us.
