We believe in His work of restraining evil in the world to the measure of the divine will, His convicting the world of sin, righteousness and judgment, His regenerating regarding all believers, His indwelling of all who are saved, His anointing of believers to teach them all truth, His sealing of believers unto the day of redemption, His continued filling for power and service of those saved who are yielded to Him and subject to His will.
