The Holy Spirit seems to generate heated and sometimes vicious debate. It is not that I am right and you are wrong, OR that you are right and I am wrong. Instead it is that the Bible is correct and it is likely that both you and I could be wrong. Debate on this topic shows us just how strong our old fleshly nature actually is. Mature Christians don't assassinate others when discussing Bible topics. Instead we humbly present what we believe, then listen to opposing views, then use the scriptures to reprove our point. That gives people the time to process what the scriptures say and work through the topic and isolate what is self evident. If a person has false views, they need time to come to that conclusion without being pressured. Then it is the individual's responsibility to renovate their own mind with what they deem is true.
“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God..” ― Rom 12:2
The Holy Spirit is one part of the three part godhead. These three parts make up what is often called the trinity, God the Father, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit is sometimes called the Holy Ghost. The Holy Spirit is not the human spirit or breath of life that empowers your life. When a person receives salvation by giving their life to God, the Holy Spirit comes into our human spirit and abides there.
Some people will tell you there are no longer moves of the Holy Spirit. People who make such claims actually want their old fleshly nature to still be their king. Yes, that old fleshly nature that the Bible instructs us to crucify.
"I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me." Gal 2;20
"And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts." Gal 5:24
This crucifying our flesh is a learned process. It doesn't happen automatically. We make a choice to do it, and then we do it. As there are so many areas of our life in which we need to crucify the flesh, we tend to work on this for the rest of our life.
