We believe the Holy Spirit is given to all believers to empower us to share what God has done for us. The nine fruits of the Spirit are the by-product of a Spirit-filled life and evidence of spiritual maturity. The gifts of the Spirit are different manifestations of the Spirit to build up the church. We are instructed to diligently seek the gifts, but they must be exercised in an orderly way in the context of love. There are also various experiences of The Spirit which the Scripture refers to as "fillings, baptism, & leadings".
