A Study of The Holy SpiritProfessed miracles –
Professed Divine revelation
Professed spiritual contacts and direct faith
Professed direct leading
The rise of mysticism and
emotionalism has played a large role
in attributing to the Holy Spirit
things that we can be certain should
not be.
True spirituality is – Fearing God, and keeping His commandments as
defined by His word.
