My Comment:
Many years ago my friend Don Rees remarked that if the Rapture would take place the weekly Sunday routine at church would go on like normal and few would even notice. Ken Sagely’s post begins with a comment that if the Holy Spirit were to be removed, church services would continue as if nothing had happened–He would not be missed.
From Ken Sagely’s Facebook Post:
The Indispensable Holy Spirit
“And when He is come, He will reprove( convict,convince) the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment.” We cannot be saved apart from the Spirit’s convicting.
” The Spirit Himself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God” We cannot enjoy assurance of salvation apart from the Spirit’s inner witness.
1 CORINTHIANS 12.13
When He, the Spirit of truth is come, He will guide you into all truth” . We cannot learn truth apart from the Spirit’s teaching ministry.
2 For His merciful kindness is great toward us and the truth of the Lord endureth forever. PRAISE YE THE LORD.
