Catechism
From the New City Catechism, the answer to the question, “What do we believe about the Holy Spirit?”
NCC Q36: What do we believe about the Holy Spirit? from The Gospel Coalition on Vimeo.
Cessationism
These two posts posts put together make the best argument—and a convincing one—for the cessation of the miraculous gifts of the Spirit. And yes, the argument is made from scripture (The Thirsty Theologian).
(Note: That miraculous gifts ceased means the Spirit no longer gives the miraculous gifts, the gifts of the Spirit that gave the ability to perform signs and wonders to the apostles. It doesn’t mean that God no longer does any miraculous works.)
Continuing Change
Nathan W. Bingham explains sanctification, contrasting it with regeneration. Sanctification is
a continuing change worked by God in us, freeing us from sinful habits and forming in us Christlike affections, dispositions, and virtues. It does not mean that sin is instantly eradicated, but it is also more than a counteraction, in which sin is merely restrained or repressed without being progressively destroyed. Sanctification is a real transformation, not just the appearance of one.
