Paul Washer: What I Believe About the Holy Spirit

At the Foundations Conference, in New York City, Paul Washer recommended Iain Murray's book 'Pentecost Today' to the attendees, saying that this book 'sums up' what he believes about the power and work of the Holy Spirit.

I admire Mr. Washers humility. The Spirit of Elohim appears to be with him. He preaches the Gospel the way in my opinion it should be preached...unadulterated truth. May Yahweh richly bless you Mr. Washer for sounding the alarm.

[@lyndithompson9562]

I really like Paul Washer preaching the way we can explain something is beautiful. I've listened to so many pastors but he is for me the best, he is the only one that can take me hand and leads me right up to the Father God, that's how he preaches to me he is an amazing preacher. The best for me..

I agree. God bless

I always love this man. He is used by God.

[@nicholas8875]

I love the way you answered about tongues and spiritual gifts. Very sound!

[@paulk5311]

exactly where in the video does he address that? all i heard was him touting another man's book. i certainly would not ask anyone about things he does not believe are for us today so no i would not listen to him on tongues or spiritual gifts.

[@donnarose1878]

I think you are a blessing to me from God. I praise God for your wonderful preaching of the truth.

[@vanessaconnor9122]

Truly a man of God. Thank you, Lord

God’s Providence at work in one of my heroes! I own two copies of this book in case I can’t get another. An absolutely wonderful book! Should be read by all preachers, elders and laypersons as well. Thank you Iain Murray and Paul Washer!

Washer is one of my favorites But, the book I pick up to learn of the Spirit is the bible. I listen to the Spirit interpret it. If men agree that is great. If they do not, even though they may be brilliant men and scholars, I choose what the Spirit reveals. Scripture was not written so that a scholar needs to interpret it, it was written so a child could know Him From what I can determine, Ian Murray has never started a revival or has participated in anything like the power that the first church had. Nor, to my knowledge has anyone who has studied Ian had such an experience. Not ever Washer. I am sure there are some things worthwhile in that book but obviously he missed the main thing because it does not lead to revival or power in the church today. Are we so ingrained into believing that knowledge brings answers instead of revelation given by the Holy Spirit or Power? I follow those who not only know, but DO

[@luisdaq]

@@Freed98 That’s a really good Question! And that’s the point of what it’s going on today in The church. The Important thing is to search GOD by yourself in privacy and in your prayers and tell him to guide and show you what’s the truth of this matter. When GOD speaks in your heart is clearer than water. ADONAI, Elohim tzevaot with you.

[@Crusader926]

You are called to be a berean in your reading of the word and only those who genuinely love God take the time to dissect its meaning throughly. It’s as men if God to be learned men who are capable at answering questions. You understand the spirit when it is speaking to you because of your understanding of the revealed scriptures . If you don’t study it out you won’t be able to tell whether it’s your biases and presuppositions or the spirit

My friends and I are seeing miraculous healing, one of us has a gift of healing and we are casting out demons even. The bible is the living word of the living God.

[@edwardstima]

what do you believe about the Holy Spirit Mr Washer, the messengers of satan comes in different ways sometimes they are humble and of a contrite spirit so that they decieve the simple.What kind of humility is this

[@Mimi-xw3xt]

Bro lol

[@phillipsugwas]

This is exactly what Jehovahs Witnesses say to me when I engage with them

[@IMHobby121]

I would rather be touched by a messenger with the Holy Spirit than a great preacher who merely toches me emotionally . . . or gets me excited briefly.

[@AdventureSMBW]

I read it based on Washer's recomendation. I thought it was really good. Then, after the whole book was finished, Appendix A, just one little page, was inserted to state that God no longer gives us spiritual gifts-that the absurd heresy of cessationism is true. Threw the book where it belonged - in the trash. Such a shame, since the first 99% was good.

[@shill700]

He didn't say what he believed - he just recommended a book.

[@Jesus-Is-God3]

Well, I'm guessing the book explains what he believes.

[@gregmontgomery1132]

Never said what you believe about the Holy Spirit! Often you let us know what others believe!

[@Matrixqc777]

“We worship (and serve) One TRIUNE God, neither confounding the Persons, nor dividing the substances of the same. For there is one Person of the Father, another of the Son, and another of the Holy Ghost (Spirit): but the GODHEAD of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost (Spirit) is ONE GOD. The Holy Ghost (Spirit) is One with the Father and with the Son. Equal in eternity power and glory. In creation, He moved upon the face of the waters and developed form and beauty out of disorder and confusion. He proceeded from the Father and from the Son, and took up His abode with His Church on earth. He has ever been with them since His coming on Pentecost. He is the Comforter, Guide and Sanctifier of His people.” (Acts 2:1-4; John 3:8; John 14:26, 15:26, 16:7) "The Holy Spirit is the same Lord and Master as our Lord Jesus Christ who is now seated at the right hand of God the Father. (Luke 22:69; Heb.1:13; 12: 2) reigning, (Luke 20:43; Act 2:35) interceding (praying) for His children (us) as our High Priest." (Heb.8:10; 10:12)

Displays humility. Still have not answered the question. What is the evidence of the holy spirit?

[@Jesus-Is-God3]

Read the book. He said it was complex and probably didn't have time at the conference to fully explain. He is saying the author of the book explains is very well. Read the book, if you really want to know

[@JesusChristSaves.]

He says he believes the gifts of tounges has not ceased today, but believes it is the holy spirit using someone to speak in thier dialect. Not like a personal language from God

[@PastorPaulFlynn]

Amen!

[@the9thlion]

I believe Paul Washer knows of the Holy Spirit but has not yet been in-dwelt by Him. Remember Apollos from the book of Acts? “Now a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was an eloquent man, competent in the Scriptures. He had been instructed in the way of the Lord. And being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, though he knew only the baptism of John.” Acts 18:24-25 Notice how Luke uses the phrase “fervent in spirit” to ironically describe a man who had not yet known the baptism of the Spirit. You can know your scriptures and even love the Lord before experiencing the baptism of the Spirit. Or how about what Jesus said to the disciples about the Holy Spirit? “If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.“ John 14:15-17 See how the Spirit is “with” them currently (ie, alongside) but only later will the Holy Spirit dwell inside them. So what does this mean? Perhaps Pastor Washer has not yet had the revelation of what it means to be born of the Spirit, or (very unlikely worst case scenario) he is like those who Jesus claims work miracles but also work lawlessness and never knew Him. Paul here seems to love the Lord very much and I would say that the Holy Spirit is with him but not yet inside him. Imagine if Vlad Savchuk or David Diga Hernandez were asked the same question? They wouldn’t point to a book as their answer but they would point to the person of the Holy Spirt. … A confession now, I have experienced the baptism of the Spirit and walked with the Lord like a friend in the past but have let anxiety and fear of demonic oppression drive me away from my calling in recent months. It has been a while then since I felt His presence inside of me leading me like He led Jesus and Paul and David. I didn’t put this mini teaching together it just kind of fell in place with my Bible reading today and the KZbin videos I happened to watch. I sense the Holy Spirit very near to me today. Thank You Lord for Your kindness and not giving up on any one of Your children. I pray for my brother Paul here that like Apollos he can come into complete understanding and receive the full baptism of Your Spirit. Amen 🙏 (If anyone disagrees with me or has evidence that otherwise suggests Paul has been fully acquainted with the Holy Spirit, I am open to criticism and/or correction there is a chance I may be wrong but I still thank the Lord for the helpful delineation of Scripture today.)

[@kevin.o4983]

So basically you're saying that Paul has converted millions and taught millions and still goes into the mission field where there's war with guns and bombs and famine and persecution and so many other things that he chooses to not disclose, and has not been filled with the Holy Spirit. Oh Please. I know you have your view of the Holy Spirit and seeing the names you mentioned I understand, but the primary evidence of the Apostles being filled with the Spirit was not the gifts or the miracles, they had already done that before. It was the BOLDNESS to do it when Jesus was no longer around. Acts 2. That was the difference. To say the spirit is not inside Him calls him a non-Christian. Read Romans 8 and I will add verse 8 here; " You, however, are controlled not by the flesh, but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ. From one brother to another, Read your Bible in its entirety and a holistic view point and full context to get a better understanding

This was at a conference hosted by Sermon Audio in NYC last winter.

[@IPGAuto]

You don’t need ANY book besides the Bible. Any doctrine counter to that of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, gifts and praying in tongues is NOT of the Bible. I don’t care how humble or righteous or famous the pastor is. That doesn’t make an excuse for Biblical illiteracy.

[@aaronshanker6019]

This pastor's read theological books and study doctrine to understand the Bible. Spiritual discernment is important but theology and textual evaluation is also very important so that one does not fall into heresy by reading the Bible on their own and forming their own ideas that are not even biblical.

[@IPGAuto]

@@aaronshanker6019 - Agreed, but some people study it SO much they actually end up getting lost. Jesus said that we are to be as children. Children believe fervently without asking things that aren't even for us to understand.

[@joshuatweito300]

Why should I listen to you? Your comment is a word besides the Bible.

[@IPGAuto]

@@joshuatweito300 - Read the end of Mark. The Bible counters his teaching. The baptism never stopped. We are all apostles of Christ that need the Holy Spirit. The Bible proves this

[@joshuatweito300]

@@IPGAuto are you talking about the ending of Mark that most likely was not in the Bible? The one that the older manuscripts don't have? Even if it is canon it does NOT teach we are all apostles. All believers are baptized in the Holy Spirit at conversion and the Spirit indwells all true believers. The church was laid upon the foundations of the apostles and prophets and Jesus is the cornerstone. Now that the foundation has been laid the apostles and prophets no longer exist.

God is the Spirit. Holy Spirit is God in action in the world, in and among believers. Third person is never mentioned from the mouth of the Lord, prophets or apostles. There is one God and one God's embodiment: Son of Man - Jesus Christ - God incarnated. Have a nice day.

so you believe in oneness?

[@yung_lenny]

@born again yes God is one. But from what he wrote it sounds like he doesn't believe in Trinity. That's what I meant

"Let US make man in OUR image" Elohim is a name of God and it is plural , God is Triune, like it or not but that is how He has revealed Himself

He did not explained what he believe about the Holy Spirit. This is a poor video. He needs to do a better video to educate his followers.

Paul Washer, No wonder you wouldn't let anyone comment on your Spiritual gifts and tongues, Because you have proved that you go to the wrong Church, Because the true Church does speak in tongues, A Eight of the operations of Tongues. You have overlooked 1 Cor 14: 14--17, where Paul say we can speak in tongues in a Church meeting, and these tongues are for interpretation. The tongues in Acts 2: 4--11 were not for preaching the gospel, V 11says they were speaking the wonderful works of God.

With respect , surely talking about anyone" going to the wrong church", is the least advantageous approach to adopt when engaging with someone ,even if there is a 180° variance in your departure points?

[@Kirstys635]

Don't even bother trying to explain tongues to this guy or his followers, you're just wasting your time. True Christians are baptised in the Holy Spirit and can speak in tongues, period. They can't seem to comprehend that though.

[@alexolga11]

Holy Ghost is not the third person of Catholic Trinity, He is God the Father himself. God was manifest himself on a Jordan river in Jesus Christ son of God(whose name Jesus)

[@OSleeperTactical]

And then John witnessed god speaking to himself, landing on himself and claiming himself as his son? And then at the end of the book of John does the holy spirit promise to send himself? I'm not sure your stance holds to scripture. I'm not saying we can fully understand the godhead, but we can apprehend what scripture reveals to us.

[@yung_lenny]

@@OSleeperTactical amen

[@gileneo]

Alex how then is blasphemy against the Father and the Son forgiveable yet blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is the unforgivable sin ? Doesn't make sense of the Father and the Spirit are the same person , Jesus also said she would send another helper , that would be senseless if The Father and Son and Spirit are the same Person

[@OSleeperTactical]

Also Jesus can't simultaneously be under the father's authority and have authority over him. Yet he sends the spirit, we do not send our masters but they send us just as the father sent Jesus.
