Dangers of using personal

language of the Spirit

• Confusing the Spirit with human persons.

• Confusing the Spirit with the Son or Father.

• Imputing gender to the Spirit.

I am transformed from today how I viewed worship and have learnt, it has changed my way of worshiping from now and onwards. Thank you lecturer Tex for you wonderful and well articulated explanation of worship which is the two sided coin BOW DOWN and SARVE, thank you also the entire team of AXX BIBLE COLLEGE for the empowering of the African pastors with the true word of God may YAHWEH richly bless you and continue doing the good work.

Praise be to God, yes I have today learnt that serving God gives a greater meaning than worshipping,I have also known this word liturgy as formulation of service and how it developed. The primary and secondary worship as bowing down and serving respectively.
