Introduction

The church of the Holy Spirit of Jesus is one of the organizations of the name of Jesus Christ Pentecostal largest in the world. The Holy Spirit is a real person. He was sent by God to dwell in the true followers of Jesus Christ after his resurrection from the dead and ascension into heaven (Acts 2).

Many Christians of the present times believe that God is a Trinity and many would agree that the Trinity Doctrine is a major doctrine of Christianity that laid the basis for the Christian belief. A stronger test of the early church was that of the heretical Arians (today's Jehovah's Witnesses), and heresy was this that motivated the early church to formalize the doctrine of the Trinity.

The doctrine of the Trinity was developed in close association with the New Testament evidence of the divinity of Christ, e.g. Phil. 2:6, Hebrews. 1:1-10. historically, it has developed in the West before the East. Theological doctrine of completeness, this was in the works "Cappadocia Fathers" in the period between the first and second ecumenical councils. Brothers, Basil the Great and Gregory of Nyssa and Gregory Nazianzen, launched a decisive explanation for the internal connection between a single entity (substance), and three persons (hypostases) of ...
