Prompt:
In the Bible, sometimes the Holy Spirit seems to be described as a "thing" or an "it." For example, John the Baptist says that the Messiah would baptize people "with the Holy Spirit" (see Matt 3:11, Mark 1:8, Luke 3:16, John 1:33). How can you be "baptized by" or "filled with" a person? How do we make sense of instances where the Spirit appears to be described as "a power" or "a thing," and other places where the Holy Spirit is described as a person? As always, support your claims from the required readings and the Bible. Need Assignment Help?
