HOW THE HOLY SPIRIT CONVERTS
Everyone agrees that the Holy Spirit is somehow involved in converting the soul. However, not all agree as to how. Many believe that the Holy Spirit exerts some power directly upon them to get them to be saved. Others believe differently.

While the terror of God is the beginning point and foundation of the reverential fear of God, the terror of God is to quickly yield to the reverential fear of God.
