...our full persuasion and assurance of the infallible truth and divine authority thereof, is from the inward work of the Holy Spirit bearing witness by and with the Word in our hearts.
But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. (1Co 2:10-12) |
I think this passage has limitation to conversion, ie believing the "words of the cross". I had asked a question in another thread. I am unaware of anywhere in biblical text that christians are promised the aid of the H.S. in biblical/theological instruction. I think it assumed by most christians of all faiths that He in fact does. However there seems to be lack of evidence that this is so. The original question of this thread is a good one. Does anyone know of such texts?
