I thought of the Holy Spirit as some mysterious force and struggled to understand His function. I think early on I thought of Him as the “Spirit of 76”, a will of God more than a Person of the God Head. God the Father was real in the back corner of Heaven, Jesus was the closest I could get to knowing God, and the Holy Spirit was a ghost that did God’s bidding.

Honestly it was very similar, this course has helped me put into words what i could not before. These well reasoned statements of doctrine are going to help me share gods word with other believers. The questions are ones that come up often and the answers and perfect for those hard questions. The holy spirit is God in us

Very similar to the lecture, although His role in the Old Testament was enlightening.

Prior to taking this course, I thought the Holy Spirit was only active in our lives after Pentecost. I didn’t know He was present throughout the Old Testament as well.

Prior to taking this course my understanding of the holy spirit was that he is the third person in the Trinity . He is God’s helper indwelling in us and helping us to believe, love and trust God.
