QUESTION: The purpose of Holy Spirit baptism is to give special abilities.
You explained that the Holy Spirit indwells only through the word. Since
you have the Holy Spirit dwelling in you, but you have no special ability,
how is it that you can teach the Bible? Where did you get the ability?
ANSWER: Certainly, none (including myself) are endowed miraculously today.
Those who are able to teach the Bible can do so only after having been obedient
to such passages as shown in the response immediately above.
The reason for so many different denominations and false doctrines today is that
some who claim to be ministers of God’s word have not done been obedient to
these scriptures, but rather they have immersed themselves in their own
imaginations (claiming to be so led by the Holy Spirit) and/or man-made
denominational by-laws and directives (Matthew 15:9). Many of these so-called
Spirit-led folks believe and practice different, contradictory things. Why? Is the
Holy Spirit divided? Clearly, where there is contradiction, truth is an impossibility!
Which of these folks is telling the truth? Which one is really being led by the Holy
Spirit? Which one can we trust? Evidently, we cannot trust in what man says
(Matthew 15:9); neither can we trust in what we might imagine to be Holy Spirit
directives (Isaiah 55:8; Jeremiah 10:23). We must trust only in His words, for
“they are spirit and they are life” (John 6:63). They, and they alone, will judge us
in that day (John 12:48)!
