PNEUMATOLOGY BIBLICAL DOCTRINE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

TOPIC: HOLY SPIRITThe term pneumatology comes from two Greek words, namely, pneuma meaning “wind,” “breath,” or “spirit” (used of the Holy Spirit) and logos meaning “word,” “matter,” or “thing.” As it is used in Christian systematic theology, “pneumatology” refers to the study of the biblical doctrine of the Holy Spirit. Generally this includes such topics as the personality of the Spirit, the deity of the Spirit, and the work of the Spirit throughout Scripture.
The Personhood of the Holy Spirit
The personality (and therefore “personhood”) of the Holy Spirit has been denied by certain groups throughout the history of the church. Some point out that the noun for “spirit” in the NT is pneuma which is neuter and, therefore, the spirit is correctly referred to as “it” rather than “he.” In keeping with this idea, some refer to it [him] as “God’s active force,” almost in a Gnostic sense of an emanation from the one, true God. Before we look at the Biblical evidence, it is important to point out that there is no necessary connection in Koine Greek between grammatical gender and personal gender so it is simply false to say that since the Greek noun pneuma is neuter the spirit must be an “it.”
It is important, then, to see what the Scriptures say about his personhood, i.e., is he really a person, albeit divine? This is especially so in a culture moving more toward New Age thinking and pantheism. The Holy Spirit is not the “god” within us which we possess via our own natures, nor is he some amorphous feeling or “active force.” All these views denigrate him and rightly deserve rejection.
There are several lines of evidence in the NT which argue for the personality of the Holy Spirit. First, Jesus said he would send “another” in his place (John 14:16). The word for another is allos in Greek and refers to another just like Jesus. It is reasonable to conclude from this that the Spirit is a person since Jesus is clearly a person. Further, Jesus referred to him as a
parakletos (enabler, encourager, comforter, etc.) which requires that he be a person since the functions of a parakletos are personal; Jesus functioned as a parakletos to the disciples.
Second, the fact that the Spirit makes choices (1 Cor 12:11), teaches (John 14:26), guides (John 16:13), reveals Jesus (John 16:14), convicts (John 16:8), seals believers (2 Cor 1:21-22), can be grieved (Eph 4:30), blasphemed (Matt 12:31), possesses a rational mind (Rom 8:26-27; 1 Cor 2:11-13), can be lied to (Acts 5:3-4), quenched (1 Thess 5:19), resisted (Acts 7:51), and on numerous occasions is distinguished from, yet directly linked with the Father and the Son as co-worker and co-recipient of worship, argues definitively for his personhood (Matt 28:19-20; 2 Cor 13:14).
HOW DO WE RELATE WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT? John4:19-23
MAN SPIRIT.1Thess5:23
"And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul" Gen.2:7
Man’s spirit is the breath of God that empowers man to acts like God. It is your real self and this explains why you can see yourself in a dream. Your enemies can only attack your spirit.
It is the resemblance of your physical body and it will go back to God that is if you are a righteous fellow and if you are not will heading to hell fire and this the reason you must be born again so that your spirit will be free from condemnation. The man’s spirit is like a reflector that reflects object or information before it being evil or good. It is your spiritual antenna to receive divine information from the Holy Spirit if you are a true believer. Before salvation, sin separates our spirit just like a mirror covered with dust that mirror hardly reflect a clear image so do sin hinder us from receiving direct information from God and Holy Spirit even when the information do come a sinner may not comprehend it. Romans 3:23  For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit t
