I was wondering if you could tell me where the Holy Spirit is. Is He presently on the earth or is he omnipresent? Also I was wondering where the Holy Spirit will be at when the church raptures. I mean if the restrainer is taken away like it talks about in Thessalonians that would mean the Holy Spirit would dwell in heaven, right? I would greatly like to hear your insight on this question it would help me gain a greater depth of insight into the word of God.

I would like to know if there is anywhere in the Bible that says in order to belong to a local church you have to be voted on by the members of a church. I may be wrong but I think that it is a denominational “custom” and the early church didn’t require a vote to accept someone as a member. I thought when you repent of your sins and trust in Christ that was the basis for membership into the church body. Please correct me if I am wrong and could you please back up any answer with scripture?

Revelation 19:13 says, “He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God.” I looked up the name “Word of God” and I could not find it in any other place but this. In the book of John he is called the “Word”, “the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Is this of some significance or is this just Christ by another name? Also in the previous verse John seems to see a name written on Him that know one knows but he himself. Why would John tell us this with no explanation of what it is or could mean?
