Pneumatology

The word pneumatology comes from two
Greek words,
 Pneuma, meaning; ―spirit,‖ and
 Logos, meaning ―doctrine.‖
 Hence, pneumatology is the doctrine of the
Holy Spirit, the Third Person of the Trinity.


3
Pneumatology

THE IDENTITY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT?
Some call him an ―it‖ or an influence
(Unitarians and Jehovah Witnesses)
 Since man is made in the ―image‖ of God,
there is a similarity between man and God


 When

man dies physically, his spirit continues
 The real man is independent of his body

Angels are spirit beings, without bodies
 God is a spirit being and a person


4
Pneumatology

THE PERSONALITY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
Arguments for HIS personality
 Jesus said I will send you ―another‖ (Jn
14:16)
 ―Another‖ in Greek is the word ―allos‖
meaning ―SAME KIND‖ just like Jesus, it is
not ―Heteros‖ which means a ―different kind‖
 Jesus also referred to him as ―parakletos‖
(enabler, encourager, comforter, etc.),
―Parakletos” has personal functions,
therefore only a person can go with those

5
Pneumatology

HIS ATTRIBUTES CONFIRM HIS PERSONALITY


Intellect: He ―searches all things‖ (1 Co 2:10),

then reveals them to man.
 Knowledge: Knows the ―mind of God‖ (1 Co
2:11)
 Mind: Father knows the ―mind of the Spirit‖ (Rom
8:17; Eph 1:17)
 Emotions: Sensibility to feelings and response
(Eph 4:30)
 Will: Has power to make choices (bouletai,
―decision of the will after deliberation‖) (Jas 1:18;
Acts 16:6)
6
Pneumatology

HIS WORKS CONFIRM PERSONALITY




The Spirit teaches or exhorts – Jn 14:16,26 ―another‖ is
allos (same kind) not heteros (different kind)
The Spirit testifies – Jn 15:26 ―he will testify of me.‖ Same
word in Jn 15:27, disciples will testify.



The Spirit guides – Jn 16:24



The Spirit convicts – Jn 16:8, ―convince someone of
something, point something out‖



The Spirit regenerates – Jn 5:21 ―renews, rebirths,

rejuvenate‖




In the historical context of miraculous signs of
Messiah, the Pharisees attributed His signs to Satanic
power (Mt 12:31-32)
There is no more evidence to motivate a turn to God,
thus there is no further proof or evidence to offer as
regards repentance – Rejection here leaves the sinner
without hope of pardon.
25

reach effective service, evidenced by
speaking in tongues
Baptism into the Body of Christ - The
immersing or ―putting into‖ a vital union
with Christ and the Body of Christ

26
Pneumatology

HISTORY OF BAPTISM OF SPIRIT








Spirit provoked little attention throughout Church
history
1790 John Wesley taught ―Second Blessing‖ idea for
sanctification
1830 Charles Finney labeled Second Blessing the
―Baptism of the Spirit‖
1900 at a BI in Kansas while fasting and seeking the
baptism some spoke in ―tongues‖
1956 an Anglican priest spoke in tongues while
seeking the baptism of the Spirit
1972 Healing is sought as evidence of God’s ―powermanifestation‖
27
Pneumatology

EXPLANATION OF THE SPIRIT BAPTISM








Is unique to the Church Age (Acts 1:5; 11:15)
Includes all believers in this age (1 Cor 12:13; Rom
6:3,5)
Brings all believers into union with other believers
in the Body of Christ (1 Cor 12:13)
Brings all believers into union with Christ (Ro 6:3),
without which there is no salvation!
It is experienced: it is with evidence
Is performed by the Spirit – There are not two
baptism
Distinction between ―by‖ the Spirit (1 Cor 12) and
―with‖ the Spirit (Acts 1:5) are identical in Gk (evn)
28
Pneumatology

INDWELLING OF THE SPIRIT







Jn 14:16-17 promised new ministry of Spirit (diff.
from OT): ―in‖ versus ―with‖
Promised as a gift (Jn 7:37-39)
Given at Salvation (Eph 1:13, ―having also
believed‖ – coincident aorist Ga 3:2
Without indwelling, person is unsaved (Ro 8:9; Jud
19)
Indwells even carnal believers (1 Cor 6:19)
Indwells believers permanently (2 Cor 1:22; Eph
4:30; Jn 14:16)
29
PROBLEMS RELATED TO INDWELLING


OT Indwelling appears to be temporary




Not a conditional Indwelling. ―Obey‖ is a synonym for
―believe‖.





Psalm 51:11, ―Do not cast me from your presence or take
your Holy Spirit from me.‖

Acts 5:32, ―We are witnesses of these things, and so is the
Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.‖
Acts 6:7, ―So the word of God spread. The number of
disciples in Jerusalem increased rapidly, and a large number
of priests became obedient to the faith.‖

On two occasions in the Transition Period definite
apostolic confirmation was necessary for the unity of the
church


Acts 8:14-17, ―When the apostles in Jerusalem heard that
Samaria had accepted the word of God, they sent Peter and
John to them. 15 …, they prayed for them that they might
receive the Holy Spirit, 16 because the Holy Spirit had not
yet come upon any of them; ... 17 Then Peter and John
placed their hands on them, and they received the Holy
Spirit.‖
Pneumatology

SEALING OF THE SPIRIT


Definition: the Guarantee that our salvation will be
completed





Explanation: the Principle idea shows OWNERSHIP,
as a brand.





2 Cor 1:22, Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest
(“arrhabon”, “downpayment”) of the Spirit in our hearts
A ―seal‖ authenticated a document, served to secured
something for the owner

Is Permanent Eph 4:30, …you were sealed for the day of
redemption.
Is Universal Eph 1:13, Having believed, you were marked in
him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit,

Since there is no command to be sealed, it is evident
that God does it at conversion
31
Pneumatology

GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT: DEFINITION


pneumatikos, “spiritual things‖, emphasize origin,
supernatural basis, given by the Spirit.




1 Cor 12:11, ―…Holy Spirit who distributes these gifts. He
alone decides which gift each person should have.‖ NLT

charisma, ―grace gift‖, not naturally developed ability



1 Cor 12:4, There are different kinds of gifts, but the same
Spirit.
Rom 12:3, 6, through the grace given unto me, to every
man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly
than he ought to think … We have different gifts,
according to the grace given us

32
Pneumatology

EXPLANATIONS OF THE GIFTS


Two concepts:


An individual enablement for specially motivated service
to others




A spiritual gift to the local church of a multi-gifted person




1 Cor 12:11 he gives them to each one, just as he determines.
Eph 4:11-13 It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to
be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and
teachers, 12 to prepare God's people for works of service, so
that the body of Christ may be built up … and become mature,
attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.

Three notes:




Not a place of service
Not an age-group ministry
Not a natural talent

  • 28. Pneumatology EXPLANATION OF THE SPIRIT BAPTISM        Is unique to the Church Age (Acts 1:5; 11:15) Includes all believers in this age (1 Cor 12:13; Rom 6:3,5) Brings all believers into union with other believers in the Body of Christ (1 Cor 12:13) Brings all believers into union with Christ (Ro 6:3), without which there is no salvation!

  • 29. Pneumatology INDWELLING OF THE SPIRIT       Jn 14:16-17 promised new ministry of Spirit (diff. from OT): ―in‖ versus ―with‖ Promised as a gift (Jn 7:37-39) Given at Salvation (Eph 1:13, ―having also believed‖ – coincident aorist Ga 3:2 Without indwelling, person is unsaved (Ro 8:9; Jud 19) Indwells even carnal believers (1 Cor 6:19) Indwells believers permanently (2 Cor 1:22; Eph 4:30; Jn 14:16) 29
  • 30. PROBLEMS RELATED TO INDWELLING  OT Indwelling appears to be temporary   Not a conditional Indwelling. ―Obey‖ is a synonym for ―believe‖.    Psalm 51:11, ―Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me.‖ Acts 5:32, ―We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.‖ Acts 6:7, ―So the word of God spread. The number of disciples in Jerusalem increased rapidly, and a large number of priests became obedient to the faith.‖ On two occasions in the Transition Period definite apostolic confirmation was necessary for the unity of the church  Acts 8:14-17, ―When the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them. 15 …, they prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit, 16 because the Holy Spirit had not yet come upon any of them; ... 17 Then Peter and John placed their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.‖
  • 31. Pneumatology SEALING OF THE SPIRIT  Definition: the Guarantee that our salvation will be completed    Explanation: the Principle idea shows OWNERSHIP, as a brand.    2 Cor 1:22, Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest (“arrhabon”, “downpayment”) of the Spirit in our hearts A ―seal‖ authenticated a document, served to secured something for the owner Is Permanent Eph 4:30, …you were sealed for the day of redemption. Is Universal Eph 1:13, Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, Since there is no command to be sealed, it is evident that God does it at conversion 31
  • 32. Pneumatology GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT: DEFINITION  pneumatikos, “spiritual things‖, emphasize origin, supernatural basis, given by the Spirit.   1 Cor 12:11, ―…Holy Spirit who distributes these gifts. He alone decides which gift each person should have.‖ NLT charisma, ―grace gift‖, not naturally developed ability   1 Cor 12:4, There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. Rom 12:3, 6, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think … We have different gifts, according to the grace given us 32
  • 33. Pneumatology EXPLANATIONS OF THE GIFTS  Two concepts:  An individual enablement for specially motivated service to others   A spiritual gift to the local church of a multi-gifted person   1 Cor 12:11 he gives them to each one, just as he determines. Eph 4:11-13 It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, 12 to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up … and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. Three notes:    Not a place of service Not an age-group ministry Not a natural talent 33
  • 34. Pneumatology COMPARISON OF TALENTS AND GIFTS Source From God, through parents From birth Possessed From birth or acquired Probably from conversion through time as you develop Purpose To benefit mankind on natural level To benefit mankind on spiritual level Process Must be recognized, developed & exercised Must be recognized, developed & exercised Function Ought to be dedicated by the believer to God for His use and glory Ought to be used for God’s glory From God, independent of parents 34
