Holy Spirit

Personhood of the Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is not an impersonal force but a divine person who speaks, wills, teaches, and can be grieved.

The Spirit dwells within believers as the abiding presence of God and seal of belonging to Christ.

The Holy Spirit is the divine person who indwells, empowers, sanctifies, and leads the people of God.

The gifts of the Spirit are graces given for the strengthening and service of the body of Christ.

Sanctification is the Spirit-empowered process by which believers are made holy in life and character.

Spiritual gifts function within the church for service, edification, order, and mission.
