Sola Scriptura: The illumination of the church by the Holy Spirit ... Illumination of the Church by the Holy Spirit to understand the Bible is a false doctrine and contrary to "sola Scriptura": Most Protestants are as bad a Catholics and Orthodox in holding to this destructive and deceptive doctrine. The Holy Spirit gave us the Bible and we can understand it as any other book. Why can we understand newspapers, but not the Bible without the Holy Spirit? This false doctrine makes God incapable of writing to be understood, while men can be understood in the newspaper. It also makes all ... Taken out of that necessary interpretive context, however, the Scriptures become just another set of ancient texts, open to as many interpretations as the imagination of man can conceive.

What role does the Holy Spirit in my Conversion? He said the Holy Spirit would speak, revealing the truth, and certain things to come (John 16:13). The Word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword (Hebrews 4:12). The Word of God is the sword of the Spirit (Ephesians 6:14). The gospel is the power of God to save (Romans 1:1.6). We know we know him if we keep his commandments (I John 2:3-5). Hence, the truth stands out vividly, it's undeniable: The Holy Spirit converts men through the revealed and written Word of God in the New Testament. If the Holy Spirit operates in a direct way, apart from the Word, why are there no Christians in some countries? If the Holy Spirit operates directly on some, and not on others, God becomes a respecter of persons. The Bible, however, says that he is not (Acts 10:34-35). No one in the New Testament ever prayed for a direct, miraculous operation of the Holy Spirit.

The early use of "nomina sacra" indicates a canon was recognized This substitution of Mosaic Hebrew for Greek in the name of God is probably the very beginning point of "nomina sacra". Nomina sacra developed into the Christian era and became almost ridiculous because they would create substitutional abbreviations for other "sacred" things including: God, Father, Son, Holy Spirit, Saviour, Cross, Christ etc. While Christians eventually abandoned the practice of nomina sacra altogether, the Jews continue the practice by writing the word God in English as G-D where a dash is substituted for the letter O. Of course the ultimate substitution was provided by the Holy Spirit himself in the 27 books of the New Testament that consistently substitute KURIOS (Greek for "Lord") for YHWH in all Old Testament quotations in the New Testament.

Subordination within the Godhead: Roles and Ranks Jesus Christ is the creator, not a creature and will always be equal to the Father in this sense. Jn 1:1 says, "and the word was [uncreated] God".

The Incarnation of God, the Son: Jesus Christ ... In a perfect example of "Domino Theology" Unitarians historically first rejected eternal conscious torment in Hell, then second, conscious life after death, which finally forced them to make Jesus into a creature and strip Him of deity. Indeed, how could a divine Jesus-creator God cease to exist during the three days he was dead. But Jesus certainly saw and likely even talked with the thief on the cross during Jesus' three days in paradise (Luke 23:43). On the first day of the week, by Jesus' own divine power, along with the Father and Holy Spirit, Jesus raised himself up from the dead. (Acts 2:32; John 2:19; Rom 1:4). The body of Jesus after the resurrection was identical to His body before the resurrection (Lk 24:36-43; John 20:20, 27; 21:12-14) and he continued in submission to God (Jn 20:17). However, at his ascension after He disappeared in the clouds (Acts 1:9-11), Jesus' divine spirit was "reverse incarnated" back into the body of God and Jesus' prayer was answered to be ... ... ...https://www.bible.ca/trinity/trinity-incarnation-Jesus-god-son.htm

(Encyclopedia Britannica, 1979, Arianism, Vol. I, p.509) The basic concern of Arius was and remained disputing the oneness of essence of the Son and the Holy Spirit with God the Father, in order to preserve the oneness of God.
