Judges 6:34, "The Spirit (Holy Spirit) of the LORD came upon Gideon," Compare with,

Verse 36, "And Giedion said unto God (Elohim)," Here Giedion calls the Holy Spirit, God, or Elohim."

Jesus is definitely not the God of the Old Testament, for there are innumerable texts that show the Father interacting with the Messiah, the Son. They are two different Persons.

You know that the Father and the Son are two different Persons according to the doctrine of the Trinity, right? If you don't, you should. You've been told this before.

The interesting question is if being told again will help you know it tomorrow.

What is that power?

EPHESIANS 3: 14, 16 20

14?For this reason I bend my knees to the Father, ...that he may grant you through the abundance* of his glory to be made mighty in the man you are inside,+ with power through his spirit, 17?...20?Now to the one who can, according to his power that is operating in us

Paul here is speakjng about God's spirit or active force which empowers believers.

I was a Baptist once and I know what the Trinity is. It doesn't say that Jesus is the God of the Old Testament.

There's but one God, composed of three Persons. Jesus is as much God of the Old Testament as he is of the New.

The religious world does not seem to be able to see the Christ apart from seeing God through their own image. And because so many cannot understand the authority of Jesus Christ is why they believe we must have the authority. I disagree. I do not believe God has given any of this authority to me. I read nowhere where it says "ask in your name" or "all authority has been given unto us on earth and in heaven." But many Christians have been able to tap into this authority from time to time on all kinds of levels even if in most cases they had no idea what was happening or how it works.

All power [delegated authority, implies the ability to make power felt. E.W. Bullinger] is given unto Christ in heaven and in earth.

Thank you for that mister Peterlag7; Well, put. We can start with the Catholic church and the title given to the Popes of Rome. The Vicar of Christ, claiming to have the authority of Jesus Christ until he returns. As long as they maintain that title (Vicar) any rules or regulations that come from their councils are said to be "Infallible."
