The content of this book is to provide a scriptural basis for overcoming fear of the Holy Spirit. Your level of fear of the Holy Spirit can be measured by your commitment to your spirit and spiritual life. This can be measured by the amount of time spent nurturing your spirit and your knowledge of the Word of God. Your relationship with the Holy Spirit depends on you. He is willing to fulfill all the promises for you. Whatever level of spirituality you currently are at is a result of your openness to the Holy Spirit. As you reach out for more, He will reach back and reveal more. By faith, look at the scriptures without reservation to see what the Word says. Look at the writers of the New Testament that reached a level of spirituality that you can strive to achieve. Look to God and trust Him to guide you into all truth. Do not be afraid to follow your heart to desire more of God in your daily life. God never intended for you to receive Him as Father and Son and fear Him as the Holy Spirit.

While not endorsing what they consider to be the excesses of Pentecostalism, the charismatic movement, and the Third Wave, Sawyer and Wallace have embraced what they have tentatively called pneumatic Christianity. They contend that the way much of evangelical cessationism has developed is reactionary and reductionistic. Rather than focus upon scriptural images of the Holy Spirit as a presence deep within the soul of the believer, many cessationists have reactively denied experience in opposition to the Pentecostal overemphasis upon experience, which at times supplanted the revealed truth of scripture.

“If there were a Guinness Book of World Records entry for ‘amount of times having prayed the sinner’s prayer,’ I’m pretty sure I’d be a top contender,” says pastor and author J. D. Greear. He struggled for many years to gain an assurance of salvation and eventually learned he was not alone. “Lack of assurance” is epidemic among evangelical Christians. In Stop Asking Jesus Into Your Heart, J. D. shows that faulty ways of present- ing the gospel are a leading source of the confusion. Our presentations may not be heretical, but they are sometimes misleading. The idea of “asking Jesus into your heart” or “giving your life to Jesus” often gives false assurance to those who are not saved—and keeps those who genuinely are saved from fully embracing that reality. Greear unpacks the doctrine of assurance, showing that salvation is a posture we take to the promise of God in Christ, a posture that begins at a certain point and is maintained for the rest of our lives. He also answers the tough questions about assurance: What exactly is faith? What is repentance? Why are there so many warnings that seem to imply we can lose our salvation? Such issues are handled with respect to the theological rigors they require, but Greear never loses his pastoral sensitivity or a communication technique that makes this message teachable to a wide audience from teens to adults.

Recover evangelicalism's foundations by returning to its architect.None doubt the influence of Carl F. H. Henry, the "theological architect" of contemporary evangelicalism. Through his prolific writing and editorial role in Christianity Today, Henry is known for addressing contemporary theology, individual and social ethics, and cultural criticism. But he has been critiqued for an underdeveloped pneumatology.In Carl F. H. Henry on The Holy Spirit, Jesse M. Payne argues that Henry cannot truly be understood apart from his mature pneumatology. The Spirit plays a vital role in three major areas of Henry's theology: revelation, ecclesiology, and ethics. These seemingly disparate topics are tied together by his view of a Spirit--inspired Bible ordering a Spirit--enlivened body composed of Spirit--filled believers. Readers will gain a more holistic view of Henry, the role of the Spirit in his life and thought, and early neo--evangelical theology.

This book focuses on the latter teaching: The Holy Spirit: Who He Is and What He Does. In addition to Torrey's teaching on the person of the Holy Spirit, this book presents seven of his shorter teachings, which he shared at Moody Bible Institute, in the churches he pastored, and in various places around the world. These seven teachings are on: The Deity of Jesus Christ, The Power of the Blood, The Power of the Holy Spirit, The Power of Prayer, The Power of the Word of God, The Place of Prayer in Evangelism, Keep Praying Until God Answers. When you read this book, you will receive definite personal blessing in your heart, life, and service, and you will know who the Holy Spirit is and what He does. Book jacket.
