Our series on pneumatology concludes with an examination of the anointing and indwelling of the Holy Spirit. We will look at several issues regarding the baptism of the Holy Spirit, when the Holy Spirit is received, and whether the Spirit remains on the believer for his or her life.

Questions Covered

1. What do we mean by the anointing of the Holy Spirit?
2. What do we mean by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit?
3. What is the baptism by fire, or baptism of the Holy Spirit, that Jesus addresses, and how do we receive the Holy Spirit? (Listener question)
4. Does the Spirit continue to dwell in believers or is it temporary?
5. Does the Spirit continue to dwell within us when we struggle with our spiritual life or even if we were to sin?
6. Does the Spirit offer himself to everyone or just a few people?
7. What does the presence of the Holy Spirit say about our relationship with God in his ministry of his sealing ministry?
8. Does the Holy Spirit leave us when we die?
9. We decided not to have a podcast on the history and heresies of the Holy Spirit. But can you briefly discuss those who were influential in defending the divine nature of the Holy Spirit? (Basil of Caesarea was huge in this area!)
