Pneumatology (Holy Spirit)
Studies of the Holy Spirit include His deity, illustrations, sanctification, conviction, regeneration, indwelling, baptism, sealing, earnest, gifts, filling, teaching, guidance, prayer, and assurance.

The church was doctrinally way off as well. Heretics were saying there would be no resurrection, etc. They were messed up babies in Christ. “Holy” Spirit is an adjective. This is the controlling force. He is holy. He is inside believers, not the church. In the O.T. He resided in the temple. Sometimes in individuals to guide them but not
