 The church must perform the basics, which is devotion first, and devotion is more than simply mental knowledge. There is a conviction that is generated by a desire instilled by the Holy Spirit during regeneration. We do not focus on the fundamentals: Scripture, fellowship, breaking bread, and prayer, and then meet needs as they arise.

There are theological explanations why certain dedicated things are welcomed into the community while others are placed on the back burner. One is a commitment to a philosophical system. People like to find practical, logical explanations for relationships. They equate these laws with Scripture, which diminishes devotion to Scripture. The Holy Spirit intensifies devotion to scripture as it is consumed into the heart, and grace eventually becomes greater than the scripture itself. Life, since the Spirit causes desires to grow. In devotion, there is a spiritual union that forms as a result of a single-mindedness to the scripture. The spirit and scripture work together to change a person's heart for better fellowship and deeper holiness. The behavior change occurs as a result of an inflamed heart prompted by grace, as the Scripture and the Spirit inflame the heart. So anything that is presented as relationally identical to the scritpural theme jeopardizes church unity by breeding Phariseeism.


Another thing that reduces devotion is quenching the Spirit. The church is not always an institution that provides instruction, but rather an organism in which gifted people are taught by the Spirit to use They use their skills to help one another. Quenching the Spirit focuses on service as the primary goal while disregarding the organism motif. The Holy Spirit regenerates each individual He joins to the church for a specific purpose. The Holy Spirit operates in each individual's heart to create the oneness that was intended for that person at regeneration. The Holy Spirit craves control, leading us to praise God the Father, enter the throne room of prayer, and go. Praying without ceasing keeps us holy, preventing us from quenching the Spirit. We pray directly to the Father both individually and collectively. The Holy Spirit creates a believer to want for God's word, long for the Spirit's activity in a revitalized state, and prompts a A person who dedicates himself to spiritual things, illuminating them so that he can live them in the unity of the community. That a person may recognize spiritual forces and pray properly. The Holy Spirit accomplishes this by filling the heart with praise, longings for God, a desire for His will above any other, and a focus on Christ's work. and being filled with that knowledge of Christ. When people are renewed in the Holy Spirit, they have a supernatural capacity to unify in teaching and agree on who God is. And what sort of God they worship. The filling of the Spirit is critical for a united and healthy church.
