"The role and Person and work of the Holy Spirit"
He is a person. (John 14:16-17);
He is our advocate (John 14:16, I John 2:1);
He imparts new life (John 3:3-6);
He pleads our case before God the Father (Romans 8:26-27);
He bears witness and glorifies Christ (Romans 8:14, Galatians 4:6);
He pours God's love in our hearts (Romans 5:4-5, Galatians 5:22-23);
He is always with us (Matthew 28:20, Hebrews 13:5-6);
He indwells within us (John 14:17, Ephesians 3:16-17);
He is powerful and able to do the will of the Father through us (Acts 1:8, 4:31, 10:45);
He is essential for our salvation (John 3:5, I Corinthians 12:3);
He is essential for our sanctification (Romans 7:21-25, II Corinthians 3:18);
He is essential for our service and sharing of faith (Acts1:8); He is Lord, loving, and available to us (I Corinthians 6:19-20);
It is our duty as Christians to recognize the role of the Holy Spirit to find out our gifts that all have been given. Then we must be discipled in those gifts and use our gifts to glorify His Kingdom. In doing this, we become obedient and we receive and we rely and trust in his role. (Acts 19:1-2, Romans 12:1-2, Galatians 5:13-26, Revelations 3:20, Ephesians 3:17, and Luke 11:13).

What does the Bible say about Tongues?
This gift is a matter of hot dispute among many theologians in the Pentecostal, Charismatic and Reformed camps. So, all I can do is show you what the Word has to say, not what people think it should say! (This is why I told you to read it first!) A biblical definition of tongues is speaking in a language that you do not know, that you have not learned, so that another person can supernaturally hear the Gospel or message from God through you in their language. Thus, Tongues is supposed to verbally articulate and point to the Gospel of Christ.

The Role, Person, and Work of the Holy Spirit
The essential topic of who and what the Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost is, His power, impact, and role in the universe and in our lives, along with why we need to know this has been a hot and abused subject matter during the last several decades. The third Person of the Godhead, the Trinity, has been ignored by some and overly abused and misunderstood by most.
