Tim Peery THEO 201_B13_201230 Short Essay #3 Pneumatology: Spiritual Gifts Spiritual Gifts, specifically speaking in tongues and baptism in the Holy Spirit, have been hotly debated. Spiritual gifts are of God through His Spirit given to the believer enabling the Christian to perform his or her service for the church. Elmer L. Towns states, “Spiritual gifts are given to men (1Cor. 12:11) and these men are in turn given to the church (Eph. 4:11).” “The Spirit bestows His charismata (gift) for the edification of the church, the formation of Christian character, and the service of the community.” Spiritual gifts very much differ from the Fruits of the Spirit.

The Person and Work of the Holy Spirit in John: The Holy Spirit in John’s gospel NBST 655 Vernon L Langley Liberty University Online Dr. Wayne Cornett May 3, 2012 Thesis statement: John's religious study of the Holy Spirit stands on subject matter found in Old Testament eschatological text, topics that are shared with the rest of the New Testament, particularly in the books of Luke and Acts, whilst one study the subject matter of Jesus’ baptism of believers with the Holy Spirit. The Spirit's possess a rejuvenating work as He integrates followers into the Gods Kingdom. Introduction: The Gospel of John is unmistakably reasonably unlike the Synoptic Gospels in its production of the Son of God, even though all of the Synoptic Gospels has its individual arrangement of Jesus; it can be said that the management of the Holy Spirit in John’s gospel is special, from that of any other text.
