About The Church,
The Holy Spirit & Grace
BTC-1, Section 3:
Introduction & TOC
Description: In Section 3, “All About the Church, the Spirit & Grace,” you will find an assortment of articles that define and explain more about our relationship with the Holy Spirit (which is the Gift of the Holy Ghost, Acts 2:38, KJV, also known as the Gift of Grace, Romans 5:15, KJV). We will also differentiate between “The Church” and the “churches” (gathering places). We will look at what Spiritual Warfare is really all about and review other elements of the growth experience that we will likely encounter and which are common to most everyone who enters the Body of Christ. Those who become active in a spiritual transformation process with Jesus realize along the way, that it is the most exciting and liberating journey anyone can undertake.
“But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.” 1 Corinthians 2: 10-16 (KJV)
