therefore, why are you putting God to the test by
                                       placing a yoke on the neck of the disciples that
                                       neither  our  fathers  nor  we  have  been  able  to

                                       bear?  But  we  believe  that  we  will  be  saved
                                       through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they
                                       will. Acts 15:7-11 ASV [Emphasis added]

                                John the Baptist said:


                                       John answered them all, saying, “I baptize you
                                       with water, but he who is mightier than I [Jesus
                                       Christ] is coming, the strap of whose sandals I am

                                       not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the
                                       Holy Spirit and fire. Luke 3:16 ESV [Emphasis
                                       added]

                                Jesus Christ said to His disciples:


                                       Go  therefore  and  make  disciples  of  all  nations,
                                       baptizing them in the name of the Father and of
                                       the Son and of the Holy Spirit teaching them to

                                       observe  all  that  I  have  commanded  you.  And
                                       behold, I am with you always, to the end of the
                                       age. Matthew 28:19 ESV [Emphasis added]

                                The Holy Spirit and the Christian’s Body.

                                Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is

                                God. He is a Person (not a force).
