what we believe at fbc:
The Holy Spirit

We believe that the Holy Spirit is a divine person; 1equal with God the Father and 2God the Son and 3of the same nature; 4that He was active in the creation; 5that in His relations to the unbelieving world He restrains the Evil one until God's purpose is fulfilled; 6that He convicts of sin, of judgment and of righteousness; 7that He bears witness to the Truth of the Gospel in preaching and testimony; 8that He is the agent in the New Birth; 9that He seals, baptizes, endues, guides, teaches, witnesses, sanctifies and helps the believer.

And that the fruit of the Spirit (love, joy,peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance) is the evidence of His indwelling rather than the speaking in tongues and other spectacular demonstrations.
