The situation in churches worldwide prioritizes doctrines like the Trinity, Augustine, Luther, Calvin, and the Apostles' Creed. These cannot bring us salvation.
Countless churches are dominated by human doctrines.
When we point out the errors in human doctrine, they unconditionally treat us as heretics without reason.
Those who prioritize human doctrines firmly believe Calvin's assertion that the Holy Spirit ceased to work after the early church.
So, when the work of the Holy Spirit appears today, they unconditionally condemn it as the work of Satan.
Calvin's claim that the Holy Spirit no longer works is completely contrary to Scripture.
Everyone must repent and receive the Holy Spirit. Those without the Holy Spirit are not Christ's people.
Churches without the Holy Spirit's work are dead churches, having lost their vitality.
In the Book of Revelation, the candlestick symbolizes the church.
A candlestick without a candle represents a church without the Holy Spirit's work, a dead church.
What are the characteristics of a dead church? It is that they do not pray, do not repent, do not obey, do not practice God's word, and do not love one another.
These churches are formal churches without the presence of the Lord.
Those who do not pray are arrogant people who do not seek God.
How can those who do not seek God receive God's help?
Why do they believe in Calvin's cessationism and unconditionally dismiss the work of the Holy Spirit as the work of Satan?
When light enters, darkness automatically disappears, and that place becomes brighter.
Calvin's argument is like saying, "Light has come in, but darkness remains." This is flawed logic.
When you receive the Holy Spirit, your heart and actions change and you pursue a good and beautiful life.
When water boils, steam is naturally produced, but Calvinists claim that steam does not appear even when water boils.
Those who truly repent and receive the Holy Spirit experience changes in their inner heart and outward actions.
However, Calvin asserted that the work of the Holy Spirit ceased since the early church.
Those who believe these false claims condemn and accuse the work of the Holy Spirit of God as the work of Satan.
They deny the work of the Holy Spirit while acknowledging the existence of Satan.
Such people serve Satan more than God. They must repent quickly and receive the Holy Spirit.
I want to confirm together what the Bible says about the Holy Spirit.
When the Holy Spirit comes, your heart becomes warm and transformed. True repentance is not just words, but is proven through your life.
When we receive the Holy Spirit and read the Bible, our sins are pricked, deep repentance wells up from our hearts, and fervent tears of repentance flow.
When we hear the Word of God, the Holy Spirit works, transforming our hearts and leading us to a new life.
Those who receive the Holy Spirit, speak in tongues, and prophesy, are to edify others and the church.
A serious problem arises when those who have received the gifts of the Holy Spirit do not understand the Word of God.
If those who have received the gifts of the Holy Spirit focus on their gifts rather than the Word of God, they become arrogant and end up harming the church.
All gifts of the Holy Spirit should be used to edify the church.
Just as a little salt is added to food to season it, the gifts of the Holy Spirit should be used as a supplementary tool to encourage church members to obey the Word of God.
The gifts of the Holy Spirit should be used solely for the gospel and for the glory of God.
Gifts should never take precedence over the Word of God.
Those who display the gifts of the Holy Spirit must be especially careful.
Otherwise, Satan will intervene in their work, elevating the gifted person above God, leading to pride and destruction.
If they always use their gifts correctly according to the written Word of God, they will edify the church and many others.
Those who use their gifts correctly will edify themselves and become people of good faith.
Those who have received the gifts of the Holy Spirit must be extremely careful not to boast about their gifts or about themselves.
Those who boast about their gifts are exalted by Satan and ultimately used as his tools.
Satan exalts the name of the gifted and places them in a position of great pride.
Those who possess the gifts of the Holy Spirit must always submit themselves to the written Word to avoid Satan's attacks.
Those who possess the gifts of the Holy Spirit, those who know the one God accurately, and those who know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, must be extremely careful.
Those who know the true nature and secrets of Satan must also be cautious.
God's true workers are always the number one target of Satan's attacks.
Always practice God's Word with a heart of love, pray to be filled with the Holy Spirit, and be humble.
Do not deify the dead. Do not hold memorial services on memorial days.
Offering flowers to the dead, worshipping before an unclean corpse, or eating sacrificial food are all acts of idolatry.
All such people are subject to God's wrath.
The bodies of those who have received the Holy Spirit are the temples where God dwells.
Those who defile God's temple will be destroyed. Beware.
(38)
[1corinthians 12:1-2]
Now about spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant.
You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to mute idols.
Gentiles who do not know God bow down to mute idols and accept the thoughts of demons.
Those who do not know the Holy Spirit and follow idols are all dragged to hell.
[1corinthians 12:3]
Therefore I tell you that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, "Jesus be cursed," and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit.
Without the power of the Holy Spirit, no one can acknowledge Jesus as the Lord of salvation.
When we believe in Jesus and repent, the Holy Spirit comes. The Holy Spirit transforms our ugly lives into righteous and beautiful ones.
When the Holy Spirit guides us, our faith grows into a faith that leads us to heaven.
If the Holy Spirit does not guide us, there is no one to protect and defend us from Satan's evil attacks.
[1 corinthians 12:4-7]
There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit.
There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord.
There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men. Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.
The gifts of the Holy Spirit given to God's people are diverse, yet they are all gifts given by the same Holy Spirit.
The saints within the church have many different roles, yet the Lord who bestows these roles upon them is one.
God works in these diverse ways to protect the church, benefit the saints, and lead them all to heaven.
[1 corinthians 12:8-11]
To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit,
to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit,
to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues.
All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he gives them to each one, just as he determines.
The gifts of the Holy Spirit are numerous and varied. Some are given the ability to speak words of wisdom,
others the knowledge of Scripture, or special faith, the gift of healing, prophecy, miracles, discerning of spirits, speaking in tongues, interpreting tongues, and so on.
All gifts are distributed by the one Holy Spirit to each member according to His will.
