The Work of the Holy Spirit: Filling Believers (Lesson 5)

Lesson 5 from Dr. Ryrie's book, "A Survey of Bible Doctrine" by Dr. Kim Simmons from Parkway Church in Victoria, Texas. This lesson examines the work of the Holy Spirit in filling believers based upon Ephesians 5:18 which give believers the command to "be filled with the Holy Spirit." The filling of the Holy Spirit is the true essence of spirituality in the New Testament and means that a believer should yield his or her life to the control of the Holy Spirit on an ongoing, repeated basis. This lesson also explains the Special Filling of the Holy Spirit from Luke 1:15, 41, 67; Acts 2:4; 4:8, 31 and other passages. There is a chart that compares and contrasts the baptism, filling and special filling of the Holy Spirit.
