8 - Holy Spirit/Pneumatology Exam 2

Exam 2

Pneumatology is…

The doctrine of the Holy Spirit.

The Spirit of God mentioned in the Genesis 1v2 creation account can also be translated:

the wind from God

The Spirit of God in the Old Testament empowers

creativity, ruling, and prophesying.

Spirit of God empowerment in the Old Testament is distinctively different to Spirit indwelling for the Christian in that it is:

temporary and restricted to a few.

True or False: Jesus’ miraculous signs are performed in the power of the Holy Spirit.

True

True or False: Pentecost’s gift of the Spirit affirms particularities of human ethnic identity in tongues being heard in various dialects.

True

True or False: Pentecost’s gift of the Spirit shows us that there will be one Holy Spiritish language in Heaven.

False

True or False: The Holy Spirit comes in existence when the Father and Son send him at Pentecost.

False

Jesus’ receipt of the Spirit at his Baptism is:

the empowering for ministry that is the hope of all true humans in new creation life.

Jesus’s temptation narrative DOES NOT help us see which of the following:

the Devil trumps the Spirit in power while we live in a fallen world.

A subsequent to conversion experience required for Christians to receive the gift of speaking in tongues is best supported with appeal to:

Acts 2 v 1-7

The relationship of procession, confessed of the Spirit,

is affirmed by both East and West in relation to the Father, pointing to the eternal relatedness that has no creaturely parallels, and accounting for the very being of God that is relationship.

The ‘Filioque controversy’ refers to the move by the Western church to:

say the Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son

‘Nicene’ as a descriptor of the Creed we learn in class is short for:

Niceno-Connstantinopolitan

In the freedom of the Spirit of God,

we are transformed and enabled to reflect God’s image and glory.

Speaking in tongues, for the Apostle Paul, is:

non-relational utterance that edifies the speaker in the Spirit.

Prophecy, according to the Apostle Paul is

exercised by men and women in the congregation, as speakers and testing discerners.

Discernment can be simply described as

testing gifts, experiences, and new revelation by the criterion of faithfulness to God’s word.

1 Thessalonians 5:19-22 is an instruction for Christians to exercise:

discernment

True or False: Cessation do not believe the Holy Spirit is God.

False

True or False: Cessationists and Continuationists believe the Holy Spirit indwells Christians.

True

True or False: Continuationists believe the Holy Spirit ensures prosperity for all those with faith now.

False

True or False: Continuationists must be careful not to pursue the Spirit in seeking perpetual novelty or greater thrills.

False

True or False: Every Christian is gifted by the Holy Spirit for service.

True

True or False: Dividing gifts between the miraculous and non-miraculous denies the truth of God’s providential ordering of all reality.

True

True or False: Many gifts of the Spirit are gifts of speech.

True

According to Dr. Draycott, 1 Corinthians 14

indicated that women may prophecy but not test their husband’s prophecy publicly.

A Theology of the Spirit’s work should be

built on biblical discernment

Paul contrasts tongues and prophecy in 1 Corinthians 14 in order

To direct the church to intelligible evangelistic speaking

Prophecy alluded to but not recorded in Scripture could mean that

Prophecy is local and particular speech that accords to Scripture’s witness to Jesus

Prophecy for the New Testament church

is speaking intelligibly of the truth of God in Jesus Christ by the Spirit

Ananias’s fate in Acts 5 teaches us that

the Spirit is God, personal; the Spirit of truth and generosity
