Fresh Start Christian Church Belief Statement
We believe that the Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Godhead, the very God, co-existent with the Father and the Son. The Holy Spirit is the chief agent in the regeneration of the soul, the chief convictor of sin and the chief comforter of the believer. Simultaneous with regeneration, the Holy Spirit baptizes the believer into the body of Christ, permanently indwells in him and seals him in salvation for all eternity (John 16:1-13).

The Holy Spirit resided in Heaven and came to earth to work in select individuals for a specific reason (or in the event of sin) and would then return to Heaven to dwell with God. However for all those who believe Christ sent the Holy Spirit to abide with them for all eternity. The Holy Spirit will never leave a believer but His effectiveness and power can be quenched/diminished by our sin.

- Ezekiel 36:26-28
