Part One
The Doctrine of the Holy Spirit
The Personality and Deity of the Holy Spirit
The Person of the Holy Spirit
*1. The Holy Spirit is the ________________________________ of the Godhead.
2. The ______________________________________ of the Holy Spirit is unknown.
a. However, The title “Holy Spirit” declares His __________________________.
b. Various qualities and operations are added to His name to point out His
____________________ and ____________________. For example:
(1) The Spirit of _______________ (Romans 8:2);
(2) The Spirit of ____________________ (Ephesians 1:13);
(3) The Spirit of ____________________ (John 14:17; 16:13);
(4) The Spirit of ____________________ (I Peter 4:14).
c. The Greek word ________________________ is translated in our King
James Version in the following ways:
(1) Spirit 111 times
(2) Holy Ghost 89 times
(3) Spirit (of God) 13 times
(4) Spirit (of the Lord) 5 times
(5) (My) Spirit 3 times

(11) (Jesus’ own) spirit 6 times
(12) (Jesus’ own) ghost 2 times
d. The use of the Greek word - ________________________________
(one who is called to another’s aid):
(1) designates Him as the person who is to act in the place of Christ after the
_______________________ (John 14:16; 16:7).
(2) The same word is translated ____________________________
referring to Christ in I John 2:1.
e. To view the the Holy Spirit as a mere _______________________________
is “robbing a Divine Being of the love and adoration which are His due.”
*3. The personalities of the Father; the Son, and the Holy Spirit are clearly seen in
the _____________________________________ between them.
(John 17:24; John 5:20; John 20:21; John 16:13-14)
*4. The personality of the Holy Spirit is clearly established by the presence of
personal ____________________________________________.

(Isaiah 63:10; Eph. 4:30; Heb. 10:29).
*d. The Holy Spirit has ___________________________________________:
(Acts 8:29; 10:19-20; 13:2; 16:7; Rev. 2:29; 22:17).
5. Another strong declaration of the personality of the Holy Spirit is the use of
___________________________________________________.
(John 14:16-17; 16:13-15).
Vine notes: The personality of the Spirit is emphasized at the expense of strict grammatical procedure in John 14:26; 15:26; 16:8, 13, 14, where the emphatic pronoun ekeinos, He, is used of Him in the masculine, whereas the noun pneuma is neuter in Greek... We should avoid the use of impersonal pronouns such as it or itself when speaking of the Holy Spirit.

Man’s Influence on the Holy Spirit
The influence of the Holy Spirit upon man is that of conviction, regeneration, and Christlikeness. Because the Holy Spirit is a person having desire and emotion, the response of man to His work has an effect upon the Holy Spirit.
*1. The sinner ________________________ the Holy Spirit (Acts 7:51).

(Mark 3:28-29).
a. The word “blaspheme” means to “speak evil of” or “pronounce the sacred as

(1) a “dispensational sin” limited to the

(2) attributing the __________________________________________
Satan during Christ’s lifetime; (Matthew 12:24-32).
c. There are three basic truths communicated to the unbeliever by the Holy
Spirit.
(1) Man’s ________________________ condition
(2) Salvation only through ________________________;
(3) ______________________________________________ to get saved.
d. Satan seeks to counter each of these truths with a lie.
(1) Man is _______________________________________________;
(2) Salvation is through ________________________________________;
(3) There is _________________________________________________.
e. The sinner must choose which is true because
________________________________________________.
5. Conclusion: When a person professes that these messages of the devil are
true, he, at the same time, pronounces the message of the Spirit as being false.
In essence, he calls the Holy Spirit a liar and places Him among the ranks of
the “Father of lies.”
6. Comments: Evans writes: “...after Pentecost, the Holy Spirit came, and
presented to every man’s conscience evidence sufficient to prove the truth of
these [Christ’s] claims, the man who then refused to yield to Christ’s claims was
guilty of resisting, insulting, and that amounts to blaspheming the testimony of
the whole Godhead, of which the Spirit is the executive.”
Halley in his Bible Handbook almost echoes with, “But after His [Christ’s] work
was completed, and the Holy Spirit was come, then, in full knowledge, deliberate
and final rejection of the Holy Spirit’s offer of Christ would constitute the ‘eternal
sin which hath never forgiveness.’”
Ironside concludes: “These words were never intended to torment anxious souls
honestly desiring to know Christ, but they stand out as a blazing beacon warning
of the danger of persisting in the rejection of the Spirit’s testimony of Christ, until
the seared conscience no longer responds to the gospel message.”
7. As a closing thought about the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, we should
compare Romans 1:28 with II Thess. 2:11-12:
a. The expression “reprobate mind” in Romans 1:28 means a mind that is
_____________________________________, and therefore hopelessly lost.
b. The difference between these two groups is that those during the Tribulation
Period are ______________ a strong delusion by God because of their
continual rejection; while people today are “given over” to their own
__________________________.
c. Ephesians 4:17-19 presents a class of people who are
_________________________________________.
8. _________________________ knows those who are given over.
