The Holy Spirit is the one who comes beside us to help us to do those things that we cannot do on our own. He gives us dunamis power.
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 Godhead
We believe that there is only one true and living God existing in three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each is a distinct Person, but all of one essence and all having the same nature, perfections, and attributes, and each is worthy of precisely the same worship, confidence, and obedience (Genesis 1:1-3, 26; Matthew 3:16-17; John 1:1, 14; John 10:30; John 14:26; John 15:26; Matthew 28:19; 1 John 5:7).

- Jesus refers to the Holy Spirit as “He”.
- The Holy Spirit performs those things that only a person can perform.
