Taken from the Baptist Faith and Message (2000) version:
II. God
C. God the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God, fully divine. He inspired holy mend of old to write the Scriptures. Through illumination He enables men to understand truth. He exalts Christ. He convicts men of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment. He calls men to the Saviour, and effects regeneration. At the moment of regeneration He baptizes every believer into the Body of Christ. He cultivates Christan character, comforts believers, and bestows the spiritual gift by which they serve God through His church. He seals the believer unto the day of final redemption. His presence in the Christian is the guarantee that God will bring the believer into the fullness of the stature of Christ. He enlightens and empowers the believer and the church in worship, evangelism, and service.
