Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum of Ariel Ministries has put together a sound teaching on The Ministries of the Holy Spirit. Even saints who have been in the faith for a long time would do well to listen to this teaching of about 3 hours, broken into 15 segments, 12-13 minutes each.

This is part of Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum’s “Come and See” series of teachings and is titled “The Ministries of the Holy Spirit”.

The reason all saints need to hear this is because Fruchtenbaum offers his Messianic Jewish (Jew who knows Jesus Christ is Lord and the risen Savior) perspective and insight regarding this matter, that brings clarity to the division currently in the church regarding the Holy Spirit. Among other things the following are addressed:

• Activity of the Holy Spirit under the old covenant.
• Activity of the Holy Spirit under the new covenant.
• Why being baptized “by” the Holy Spirit and being baptized “in” the Holy Spirit are the exact same thing.
• The difference between being baptized by the Holy Spirit and being filled with the Holy Spirit.
• Why believers are baptized by the Holy Spirit when they accept Christ.
• Why there was a delay in some cases in scripture with some receiving the Holy Spirit, but no delay regarding spirit baptism when someone accepts Christ as savior today.
• The roles of Peter and Paul regarding some who received the Holy Spirit via laying on of hands and why it had to be done that way for those groups.
• Why tongues are not what is required for a believer to know they received the Holy Spirit, but faith.
• Why knowing activity of the Holy Spirit based on scripture is important, rather than going off emotion and how you feel about it.
• Why all believers pray in the spirit and why praying in the Holy Spirit does not mean praying in tongues. If you complete this teaching series, you will know what praying in the spirit and with understanding means. As God had the apostles Paul to note in 1 Corinthians 14:14-15. Jude 1:20 will make sense to you and you will know that every time you pray (if you are a Christian believer on the Lord Jesus Christ), you pray in the Holy Spirit and knowing what you said is what gives you understanding.
