What role does the Holy Spirit in my Conversion? However, the question of how the Spirit affects conversion, whether directly or through an agency, has been, and is still, a controversial matter. A "direct operation" of the Spirit is declared by many. This idea has descended to our age from the old doctrine that man is totally depraved in heart and soul and must have a miraculous spiritual operation to turn him from sin to his Heavenly Father. But the scriptures plainly teach that the Holy Spirit works through the agency of the revealed Word of God! Still, while proclaiming that the manner of the Spirit's working in the Christian ...

What is the Gift Of Tongues? Contemporary tongue speaking is often confused with New Testament gifts of tongues, but they are not the same. The New Testament gift of tongues is described in five passages and you might want to write the passages down. From these five passages three things are evident. First, the New Testament gift of tongues consisted of languages of men which were spoken miraculously, without previous knowledge of the language. Second, these tongues were given as signs to confirm that both the man who spoke and the message he spoke were from God. Third, only those who received the baptism of the Holy Spirit and those who received the laying on of the apostles' hands possessed this miraculous gift. The first mention of speaking in tongues in the New Testament is Mark 16:17-20. In this passage, Jesus promised five kinds of signs which would accompany those who believed: (1) Casting out demons; (2) speaking with new tongues; (3) picking up serpents; (4) drinking deadly poison; and (5) healing the ... ... https://www.bible.ca/su-tongues-what.htm

Brown, Colin: New International Dictionary of New Testament Theology ... The NT does not contain the developed doctrine of the Trinity.

Biblical Subordination expressed by scholars For he tells us that 'God sent forth his Son to redeem' (Gal 4-4) and 'did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all' (Rom 8.32).

Taken by themselves these passages might warrant the conclusion that Paul held a merely subordinationist ... Nor were they subordinationists in intention or words, if subordinationist is understood in the later Arian sense of the word; for they did not make the Son a creature but always put Him on the side of the creator.
