God & Doctrine
-
Does God change His mind?
God does not change in His being, character, or eternal purposes — but Scripture genuinely records that He responds to prayer and repentance in real and personal ways.
-
What does it mean to be filled with the Holy Spirit?
To be filled with the Holy Spirit means to live under the active control and transforming influence of God's Spirit — not a one-time event, but a continuous posture of surrender and dependence.
-
What is the unforgivable sin (blasphemy against the Holy Spirit)?
Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is the deliberate, hardened attribution of the Spirit's work to Satan, rejecting the only agent through whom forgiveness comes. Jesus declares it unforgivable in this age and the age to come (Matt 12:31-32).
-
What is the gift of speaking in tongues? Is it for today?
Speaking in tongues is a spiritual gift of words given by the Holy Spirit. Christians disagree on whether it continues today, but Scripture nowhere declares it ended.
-
How, why, and when did Satan fall from heaven?
Satan fell through pride, wanting to exalt himself above God. Scripture doesn't date it precisely, but his fall came before he tempted Adam and Eve in Eden.
-
What are the seven spirits of God?
The seven spirits of God in Revelation are not seven beings but a symbolic picture of the one Holy Spirit in His fullness and perfect completeness before God's throne.
-
What are the different names of God, and what do they mean?
The names of God in the Bible reveal His character—Elohim (Creator), YHWH (the eternal "I Am"), Adonai (Lord), and El Shaddai (God Almighty) each show who He is.
-
What does the Bible teach about the Trinity?
The Bible teaches that God is one Being who exists eternally as three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—each fully God, yet there is only one God.
