We believe that the Holy Spirit is fully God and the current, earthly manifestation of God through His indwelling of the believer in the Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 3:16; John 16:7) and that He seals the believer and baptizes (immerses) him into the Body of Christ at the moment of salvation (1 Corinthians 12:13), with the goal of teaching God’s Word and conforming the believer to the very image of Christ (Ephesians 1:3–14; 1 Corinthians 2:9–16; 2 Corinthians 3:17–18). We believe that all the spiritual blessings are received at the time of salvation (Ephesians 1:3) and that the Spirit gives gifts to every believer as He (the Holy Spirit) wills, so that the believer might effectively communicate the love of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:13) and that the modern tongues movement is not according to Scripture (1 Corinthians 14).
