We believe that the Holy Spirit is a person and is God, possessing all the divine attributes. He indwells every believer in Christ at the moment of conversion, unites them with the body of Christ, and sovereignly bestows special gifts upon each believer for service to the body of Christ. He fills and controls the believer in response to that believer’s confession of sin and yieldedness to Christ. Only by the Spirit’s power is a believer able to live a life of victory and power in Christ.
