The Holy Spirit of God

The subject of the Godhead and the Holy Spirit of God has proven to be a complicated and profound subject to articulate and/or expound upon. This book will set forth and press the view that the Holy Spirit had not accompanied the giving of the Old Testament scriptures because Jesus had not yet been "glorified" (John 7:39). However, under the New Testament covenant the Holy Spirit is given to dwell within every Christian to aid and strengthen the Christian. This book, hopefully, will cause many of us to reconsider the "Word Only" positions that are often set forth by good and honest brethren. While the Spirit works by means of the Sword of the Spirit, He also at times, works in conjunction with the word of God and directly with and in the individual Christian.


The Author of this book alone bears responsibility for any criticism that might be given for the positions set forth herein. However, if any word of favor, Jesus Christ should be given all praise. Afterward, a special thanks to J.J. Turner and Edward P. Myers for their THE DOCTRINE OF THE GODHEAD. The Author used some of their material extensively, along with notes taken under the tutelage of J.J. Turner (1972-1974). Thanks also for Richard Rogers fine material on the Godhead and his THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD. Thanks also for a short section of Jim McGuiggan's piece on BAPTIZED WITH THE SPIRIT. Thanks also to Angie Poole and Chris Lunsford for their tireless efforts in editing. Further notes of appreciation can be seen inside the front cover.
