 | Frequently Asked Questions |
 |
|
- Does a person have to be filled with the Holy Spirit or ghost?
A person must be filled with the Holy Spirit which is the same as the Holy Ghost. The names are interchangeable in the same way that Pastor and Elder are used in the Word. This filling comes at salvation but may also come through the laying on of hands or by seeking it for those who had not been taught about Him (Acts 19:2-6) (Acts 2:4, 8:15-17, 10:44) Romans 8:9 Ephesians 1:13 John 3:24 etc.
- How do you know that you are on the right track to being in God's perfect will for your life?
Everything in the new testament era will be confirmed by the Word of God. God's perfect will, as far as we can know it, is revealed in His written Word. All things are lawful but they are not always wise. The right track is continuing to earnestly seek God and building a relationship through the Spirit and his Word. As people who see and know in part it is impossible to have a constant gauge of our track. Remember, the Holy Ghost is responsible for your teaching and has promised to lead us to all truth. He will also bring back to our memories what Christ has said. Sometimes God will confirm that we are on the right track by the scriptures and by the Word of his ministers. Other times a word of rebuke or spiritual conviction will tell you that the track you are on is wrong. Because we serve a living God, He has provided one formula for all of our knowledge. Relationship. How will you know if your Bishop is displeased? It will not be done by signs or mystical call. I would simply tell you and I would confirm my words by the Bible. God will work with our finite minds in the same way. He speaks in the spirit and then confirms in the natural because of our nature of confusion and doubt. The short answer is this: if you want to follow and know the will of God then follow the character example of Christ. It's not what we do, it is about why we do what we do.
- How do you know that the voice that you are hearing is the voice of God?
The voice of God may sound different from time to time based on the circumstances. What you can be assured of is that the content will always be truth and will be filled with Kingdom character.This voice(thunder, many waters,small and still, etc.) will be heard by you in the ways that are described in vivid details in the Word. If God spoke any differently than He has shown and patterned in the holy text then we would be confused or sound like religious weirdos. We would ascribe to the Lord all manner of foolishness that is more emotion and mysticism than truth. God will speak through dreams, visions, prayer, praise, meditation on His Word, seeking His face, study in the Word as well as simply in a small still voice. Some of the best revelation is simple and not deep at all. God will always confirm His Word through the Bible. He will never speak to us now, what He has never written for us to have. The conclusion of this is still the need to have a personal relationship with the Lord and increased faith. Even these come by hearing the word of God. His Word is His voice for this generation. You can be confused from time to time by the audible voice or even dreams. You will never be confused by what is written in your language for your spirit.
