CHRISTOLOGY

SESSION TWO: THE
TRINITY
WHAT ARE THE
FUNCTIONS OF THE
SPIRIT?

Three Major Branches of
Theology
TYPES OF THEOLOGY SOURCE OF INFORMATION RESULT
Natural Theology Nature as analyzed by man Partial and imperfect
Systematic Theology Scripture as formed into a mental Truth comes out looking like
scheme by scholars the mold into which it is formed
Biblical Theology Truth as presented in the Bible A development of Bible
itself doctrine in a survey of
progressive revelation

SSM Spring 2010 Survey of Theology - Shelby 2

Thesis:
• What Christ is determines what
Christianity is.
– His past manifestation (OT/Gospels)
– His present ministry (Spirit & the Word)
– His prospective majesty (Eternity)


Point 1.
• Jesus was
always in the
form of God
before he ever
took on the form
of a servant.


Point 2.
• The doctrine of the incarnation is
that Jesus Christ is God with skin
on.


• The incarnation has nothing to do
with the beginning of Christ, but only
with the coming of Christ into the
world.

Point 3.


Key THOT:
• God and man became one
person in Jesus Christ.


Point 4.
• There could be no
salvation without
incarnation, and
there could be no
sinlessness without
virgin birth.


How We Know Who the Angel of
the Lord Is
A. The angel IS the Lord, Gen
16:1,13; 22:11,15,18
B. The angel is yet a distinct person
from the Father, Gen 24:7,40
C. The angel is identified with Christ:
– Christ is the only visible member of
the Trinity, John 1:18
– Both Christ and the angel are said
to be sent by God the Father

• Theophanies are pre-
incarnate appearances of
Christ.

Definition

CHRIST’S TWO NATURES
1) Christ became man
2) Christ maintained two distinct natures
3) Christ’s human nature did not develop an
independent personality
4) Jesus became human without confusion or alteration
of his unity
5) The divine nature imparted some of its powers to the
human without passing into its essence, and certain
human experiences became possible for the divine
without corrupting its essence
6) Do not divide the personality, but do not confound
the two natures
SSM Spring 2010 7) The union of Christ’s two natures is

permanent

Point 5.

The forfeiting of
Christ’s free life
has freed our
forfeited lives.


THE MEANING OF THE ATONEMENT

1) A ransom for many, Matt 20:28; Heb 2:14-15
2) A redemption out of sin, Eph 1:7
3) A Passover, 1 Cor 5:7
4) A trespass offering, Isa 53:10
5) A reconciliation of man, 2 Cor 5:18-19
6) A substitution for sinners, Isa 53:5; 2 Cor
5:21
7) A satisfaction or propitiation toward God,
Rom 3:25

THE EXTENT OF THE ATONEMENT
• Being infinite, it is sufficient for the
sins of the world for all time, John
1:29
• Being universal, its blessings are
available to all, Rev 22:17
• Being exclusive, it is only effective
for those who believe in the
sacrifice and receive Christ as
Lord, 1 Tim 4:10

Point 6.

• Christ is active as well as alive.


PART OF HIS PRESENT MINISTRY
IS HIS TRINITY OF OFFICES
a. He uses the knowledge of a
Prophet, Acts 3:22-23; Matt
19:28
b. He exudes the holiness of a
High Priest, Heb 4:14-15; 6:20;
8:6
c. He exercises the power of a
King, Luke 1:31-33; Eph 4:15-16

Point 7.

• The
resurrection is
not only a
marvelous fact
but a mighty
factor.


THE POWER OF HIS RESURRECTION

1) Was the declaration of the Father
that the Son’s work was accepted,
Phil 2:9
2) Was the cause of our salvation,
Rom 4:25; 5:10; Eph 1:20; Phil
2:10; 1 Pet 1:3
3) Is the proof of our resurrection to
come, Rom 6:4,5,9; 1 Cor 6:14;
15:20-22

PROOFS OF THE RESURRECTION
Direct proofs Indirect proofs
• Eyewitnesses, • Drastic change in his
Luke 24 followers, Acts 4:10
• Change in the day of
• Corroborating rest and worship, Acts
witnesses, 1 Cor 20:7
15:4-7 • Positive testimony of
• Paul’s description, early disciples, Acts
17:31
1 Cor 15:8
Positive truth:
• The empty tomb, • It was a resurrection,
Luke 24:3 not resuscitation
SSM Spring 2010
• It was bodily, not
spiritual

Point 8.

Without ascension there is no
exaltation.


RESULTS OF THE ASCENSION
1) Confirmed Christ’s truthfulness, Matt
26:63-64
2) Gives believers an advocate with
God, Heb 7:25; 9:24
3) Gives believers access to God, Heb
4:14-16
4) Guarantees our enlarged ministry,
John 14:12
5) Guarantees our entrance to heaven,
Heb 6:20

Key Thot:
All that Christ is and has is now at our
disposal.


PNEUMATOLOGY: The Doctrine of
the Holy Spirit

Thesis:

• The church is devoid of power
because she has forgotten that the
Holy Spirit administrates the affairs
of the age of grace.


Point 1.
• When the Christian is Spirit-
filled, life is enriched, labor
is empowered and the Lord
is enthroned.


Point 2. • When doctrine is
neglected the
Spirit’s presence
cannot be
recognized
because since he
is the presence of
Christ, the Holy
Spirit will not work
without the truth of
SSM Spring 2010 Christ.

Point 3.
• It is the Spirit of God that
enables us to challenge the
spirit of the age.


Point 4.
• Satan has two methods of perverting
the doctrine of the Spirit in the
church today. First he seeks to hide
the vision. When that is no longer
possible he seeks to falsify the gifts.


Point 5.
• What we need is not to attack
the spirit of the age; all we need
is a closer examination of the
Spirit of grace that administers
his aid in our age.


Point 6.
• He is the Holy Spirit because we
are unholy men and women, and
yet he is God residing in us,
marking us with his seal until the
redemption of our body at the
rapture.


Point 6.
• He is the Holy Spirit because we
are unholy men and women, and
yet he is God residing in us,
marking us with his seal until the
redemption of our body at the
rapture.
• The Holy Spirit will not unveil
himself unless you have given
implicit obedience to light already

received

Point 7.
• Unless we know the Spirit as a
personwe cannot rightly adjust
ourselves to his principles.


PERSONALITY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
PROVED
1) He performs personal acts (160
passages)
2) He has personal properties
3) He has personal reactions
4) He has personal relationships
5) He is referred to by personal
pronouns, John 14:16-17,26

DEITY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT PROVED
1) His names, Isa 6:9; Acts 28:25
2) His attributes
3) His works
4) He is acclaimed and identified as
God, Acts 5:3-4
5) The testimony of scripture, Isa
48:12-16; Matt 28:19; 1 John 5:7-

Narrowing Spheres of Operation in the
OT


Work of the Spirit in the OT
• Selective because sovereign
• The Spirit of service while the kingdom is
organized
• The Spirit of conviction while sin is restrained
• The Spirit of strength while fighting for victory
• Working signs to advance against Satan’s
counterattack
• The Spirit of judgment when Israel is in
apostasy
• The Spirit of hope when Israel is in captivity
SSM• The Spirit of inspiration for a permanent

record of God’s word, 2 Pet 1:20-21

Limitations of the Spirit’s Operation in
the OT
LIMITS IN THE OLD TESTAMENT
In Extent In Effect In Duration
Only to the house of Israel He did not baptize, seal or He could be withdrawn and
superabound, John 7:37 salvation could be lost, Ps 51:11;
John 14:16-17; Heb 3,6,10


DISTINCTIONS:


Old Testament New Testament
No ―regeneration‖, Deut 5:29 Regeneration with:
No permanent indwelling Permanent indwelling, Rom 8:11
No baptizing Baptized with the Spirit, 1 Cor 12:13
No sealing Sealed with the Spirit, Eph 4:30
Filling Anointed with the Spirit, 1 John 2:20,27

COVENANTS:
Old Versus New
Exodus 19:5 Jeremiah 31:33
5 33
Now therefore, if ye will obey my But this shall be the covenant that I will make
voice indeed, and keep my with the house of Israel; After those days,
covenant, then ye shall be a saith the LORD, I will put my law in their
peculiar treasure unto me above inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and
all people: for all the earth is mine: will be their God, and they shall be my people.


Point 8.
• There is no authority without
anointing.


Formula:
• One baptism; constant filling; many
anointings
– The baptism you get as a result of
being saved
– The filling you get as a result of being
in the word of God
– The anointing is a special enduement
for daily living


Definition:

• The enduement is
a special clothing
of the Holy Spirit to
give authority for
specific ministries.

Definition:
• Spiritual gifts are Spirit-energized
abilities to enable us to function like
Christ—for service within the
church and for outreach to
accomplish the mission.


Definition:
• The fruit of the Spirit are the
nine manifesting evidences of
the Holy Spirit’s control in
making us like Christ before his
return.
