    • A portion of the Holy Spirit

    • All of the Holy Spirit

    • A temporary filling of the Holy Spirit

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the Holy Spirit
    Explanation
    When we became a Christian, we received all of the Holy Spirit. This means that as believers, we have the full presence and power of the Holy Spirit dwelling within us. The Holy Spirit guides us, empowers us, and helps us grow in our relationship with God. This is a fundamental belief in Christianity, as the Holy Spirit is seen as an essential part of the Trinity and plays a crucial role in the life of a believer.

    Jeseus said he could do nothing of His own initiative.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because in the Bible, Jesus often emphasized that He only did what His Father in heaven instructed Him to do. He repeatedly stated that He came to fulfill the will of God and not to do His own will. This shows that Jesus recognized His dependence on God and did not act independently or on His own initiative.

    Air is a good metaphor for the Holy Spirit because

    • It can be powerful

    • You can't see it

    • You can't live without it

    • You can only see it by what it does

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    Air is a good metaphor for the Holy Spirit because it can be powerful, just like the Holy Spirit's ability to bring about change and transformation. Additionally, you can't see air, similar to how the Holy Spirit is often described as invisible or intangible. Furthermore, just as we cannot live without air, the Holy Spirit is seen as essential for spiritual life and growth. Lastly, we can only see air by observing its effects, which is also true for the Holy Spirit as we can see its presence through the impact it has on individuals and communities.

    We don't get more of the Holy Spirit, rather He gets more of us.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The explanation for the given correct answer is that the Holy Spirit is not something that can be quantified or measured. It is not about receiving more of the Holy Spirit, but rather about surrendering ourselves completely to the Holy Spirit's guidance and allowing Him to have full control over our lives. It is a continuous process of submitting ourselves to God's will and allowing the Holy Spirit to work in and through us.

  • 9. 

    When the Holy Spirit came at Pentecost, which of the following did NOT happen

    • The disciples began to speak in other languages

    • People thought the disciples were drunk

    • What seemed to be flames of fire rested on each of the disciples

    • They began dancing for joy

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. They began dancing for joy
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "They began dancing for joy". This is because there is no mention in the question or in the context of the Holy Spirit coming at Pentecost that the disciples began dancing for joy. The other options are mentioned in the question itself - the disciples speaking in other languages, people thinking they were drunk, and flames of fire resting on each of the disciples.

  • 10. 

    According to Paul in Romans 8, the only way to overcome the law of the flesh is through

    • The Bible

    • Conviction

    • Rejection of the law

    • The law of the Spirit

    • The gifts of the Spirit

    Correct Answer
    A. The law of the Spirit
    Explanation
    In Romans 8, Paul explains that the only way to overcome the law of the flesh is through the law of the Spirit. He emphasizes that those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit, leading to life and peace. By relying on the guidance and empowerment of the Holy Spirit, believers can resist the desires of the flesh and live in obedience to God's will. This contrasts with relying on the law, which only exposes our sinful nature but does not provide the power to overcome it.
