Articles about Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is God. The Father (generally called God), the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit are one God, but are not one another. These articles are based in what the Bible teaches about Him.

Is the Holy Spirit Female?

God describes Himself in mostly masculine terms: father, husband. The Hebrew names Yahweh, Elohim, Adonai, Kurios, and Theos are all linguistically masculine. At the same time, God also describes Himself in Job as giving birth, and in Isaiah as a mother. It's more complicated than simply "he" or "she."

A Friend Told Me I Don’t Have the Holy Spirit Because I Don’t Speak in Tongues. Is This True?

The New Testament refers a number of times to people speaking in tongues. That is, believers being enabled to speak in languages they hadn't previously learned.

Questions about God are always important! Whenever we try to describe God, words will always fall short. We simply don't know everything about God.

Was the Baptism by the Holy Spirit just for the Disciples?

It's clear from simply reading the New Testament that baptism by the Holy Spirit is not just for the apostles (Jesus' first disciples). To see this, we only need to go to the most famous verse in the whole Bible, and read it in context. It is, of course, John 3:16. It's important to read the whole section in John 3.
