Publisher's Synopsis
Some people believe that the Holy Spirit finished His work with the completion of the New Testament. Based upon the Bible, this position is clearly not valid and borders upon blasphemy. What does the Bible really tell us? Can we live lives pleasing to God by following His commands and trying to apply the words of Scripture strictly from an intellectual perspective? If the work of the Holy Ghost ended with the completion of the New Testament, how are we to live? This book is an in depth look at what the Bible teaches about the person and the work of the Holy Ghost within the lives of believers, and it sheds light upon why there are so many different sects, denominations, and factions. Jesus said, "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." (John 4:24) Why do people believe and practice things that aren't scriptural in Christian churches? Why do traditions seem to have such a strong hold on so many? Could it be that ignorance of God's word is rampant? Too many seem to be just taking the preacher's word for what the Bible says. Many are trusting teachers without question. Others are just holding on to traditions that they have learned from friends and relatives. What's at stake? What difference does it make? The short answer is that eternity is at stake. If that makes no difference to a person, nothing can be said or written to help.
