The Holy Spirit and Bible

Mark 1:11, “And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” When Jesus was being baptized, the Triune God revealed them clearly. 1 John 5:7, “For there are three that bear record in heaven, The Father, The Word, and The Holy Spirit, and these three are one.” The Holy Spirit Proceeds from the Father and the Son. Each person has distinctive properties and relationship to the other person in Godhead. The Holy Spirit eternally proceeds from the Father and the Son. In the Council of Toledo (589) that the Spirit proceeds from “the Father” And “the Son.” Abraham Kuyper has incisively pointed out, a denial of the filioque leads to an unhealthy mysticism. It tends to isolate the work of the Holy Spirit from the work of Jesus Christ. The emphasis is increasingly on the work of the Spirit in their church, which tends to lead to an Independence from Christ, the church, and the Bible. This is truly the case of the Charismatic and Pentecostal denomination, which tends to separate the Spirit from the Bible. This is very unhealthy for this age of the Holy Spirit. Briefly, the Holy Spirit never work separated from the Trinity and Bible.
