Holy Ghost is a name made up by Christendom and does not appear in The Bible. Holy Spirit is God's active force and the power by which he created the known/uknown (to us) universe and how he accomplishes all things for our good.

What does it mean to have the holyghost?

Receiving the power of the Holy Spirit means being filled with the divine enabling of God for those acts of service which are the privilege and duty of disciples who follow the Lord Jesus Christ, believing Him to be everything the Bible says He is. The power of the Holy Spirit was promised by the resurrected Jesus before He ascended to heaven. Acts 1:8-9 "But you shall receive power after the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and you shall be witnesses to me, both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and to the uttermost part of the earth. And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight." The New Testamentdistinguishes between having the Spirit, which is true of all believers, and being filled with the Spirit which is an imbuement of power activating that which is already resident. Acts 2:1-4 "And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared to them, cloven tongues as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them utterance." Acts 4:31 "And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness." Everyone who repents of sin and believes in Jesus Christ * is born of the Spirit, * indwelt by the Spirit, whose presence makes the believer's body a temple * baptised by the Spirit, thus sealing him for God.


How many minor prophets books in the Old Testament?

The difference between a "major prophet" and a "minor prophet" is their scope, not their significance. The "minor prophets" in the Bible see only the events that are coming to the "specific nation" they are assigned to. The "major prophets" see events coming upon not only their nation "but the nations of the world---world events. http://www.faithwriters.com/article-details.php?id=35862 Zehaniah, a 'minor' prophet says in 3:8 "Therefore wait for Me," declares the LORD, "For the day when I rise up as a witness. Indeed, My decision is to gather nations, To assemble kingdoms, To pour out on them My indignation, All My burning anger; For all the earth will be devoured By the fire of My zeal. Seems to me he is addressing 'the nations f the world' but is a 'minor' prophets. **The initial difference written above is inaccurate, because how do you explain Joel's prophecy about the Holyghost in Joel 2:28, 29? And Joel is considered a minor prophet. So I will stick with the difference being in the length of their prophecies.

Is Marvin L winans dating?

Marvin L Winans is Married to the Holy Ghost Isaiah 54:5 . Answer from Amy Thomas (Perfecting Overcomer) besides it's only Marvin Winans and the Lords business whom shall he be married to in Christ Jesus. My pastor is a Holy Ghost Preacher walking and living in the Holy Spirit and is only married to God in Heaven true gospel of Jesus Christ. Just thought you ought to know. 2nd answer: In my opinion, a man of God needs to have a wife, if he has certain needs for a woman... otherwise, he can be tempted into sin (the same sin most Godly men preach against). I wish he had worked things out with Vicki. Ususally the first wife is the REAL wife. Divorce is so damaging and so ugly. It's his and the Lord's business whom he shall marry... but he cannot lead his flock astray. He should be an example to them. I only hope that he is being a great example for single men... to remain completely holy until they accept a wife. I pray that he stays strong and continues to serve the Lord and be the example he is called to be.
