The Holy Spirit and His Work

Mr. Burton W Barber

The following biographical sketch of Burton was written and presented by Bill Paul.

    Born In Sheridan, Wyoming September 16, 1918 to Hiram and Alma Barber, he was baptized into Christ in 1929 at the age of 11 by his uncle Errett Barber. His formal education for the preaching ministry began in 1938 (the same year as his ordination) when he was among the first students to enroll in Ozark Christian College when it was located at St. Joe, Arkansas. As a 20-year-old student, he and Kenneth Holsinger became known as "the Hiking Ozark Mountain Missionaries." In 1939 he enrolled in Christian Normal Institute in Grayson, Kentucky (later called Kentucky Christian College). He completed his formal education when he graduated from San Jose Christian College in 1946. He married Opal Kratzer on September 5, 1941.

    He was 77 years, three months and 23 days old when he died. His burial was at Galax, Virginia.

A thorough Biblical look at the Scriptures that illuminate the person of the Holy Spirit and what He does.

The author uses his notes from teaching an Adult Bible class to put together a concise but very interesting study on the personage of the Holy Spirit and His work as shown in the Scriptures. He deals at length with difficult topics such as the "Baptism of the Spirit and the Extraordinary Gifts of the Spirit." He concludes his short 50 plus pages on the topic of the Holy Spirit by looking at the "Indwelling of the Spirit in Every Christian". He gives book, chapter and verse references for all that he has to say and using PCStudyBible you can easily verify what he says as being accurate or not.
