Since the Pentecostal movement began a little over 100 years ago, there has been a lot of emphasis in evangelical circles on the ministry of the Holy Spirit. But there has also been a lot of confusion and error.

It is a sad twist of irony that those who claim to be most focused on the Holy Spirit are in actuality the ones doing the most to abuse, grieve, insult, misrepresent, quench, and dishonor Him. How do they do it? By attributing to Him words He did not say, deeds He did not do, phenomena He did not produce, and experiences that have nothing to do with Him. They boldly plaster His name on that which is not His work.

But Paul uses the term ‘the Spirit’ to refer to a person who has received the Holy Spirit. Now there is ‘but’. When we receive ‘the Spirit’ ‘the flesh’ is not totally gone. It will still lure us to do its will. So Paul says in Galatians 5:16: ‘So I say, walk by the Spirit, and yo
