“To him the HS is the third fiddle, and only the Father is called God.”
Paul in his writings has a high view of the person and work of the Holy Spirit; equating him with God and using his name interchangeably with God.
1 Cor. 2:10, “God has revealed those things to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches everything, especially the deep things of God.”
Rom. 8:26-27, “At the same time the Spirit also helps us in our weakness, because we don’t know how to pray for what we need. But the Spirit intercedes along with our groans that cannot be expressed in words. The one who searches our hearts knows what the Spirit has in mind. The Spirit intercedes for God’s people the way God wants him to”.
1 Cor. 3:16, “Don’t you know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you?”
1 Cor. 6:19, “Don’t you know that your body is a temple that belongs to the Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit, whom you received from God, lives in you. You don’t belong to yourselves.”
Rom. 8:2, “The standards of the Spirit, who gives life through Christ Jesus, have set you free from the standards of sin and death.”
Rom. 15:30, “Brothers and sisters, I encourage you through our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love that the Spirit creates, to join me in my struggle. Pray to God for me “
2 Cor. 13:14, “May the Lord Jesus Christ’s good will, God’s love, and the Holy Spirit’s presence be with all of you!”
1 Cor. 12:5-7, “There are different ways of serving, and yet the same Lord is served. There are different types of work to do, but the same God produces every gift in every person. The evidence of the Spirit’s presence is given to each person for the common good of everyone.”
Galatians 6:7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that naturewill reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. 9Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 10Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.
