Abstract
In this paper, we will take a closer look at just what it is that the Augsburg Confession and the Apology have to say about the importance of the role and work of Holy Spirit in the life of the converted Christian. We will first identify each occurrence and then organize the information in order to better understand what these two documents have to say about the work and role of the Holy Spirit.
Some topics were dealt with first for good reason. Luther's followers had first to defend their practices and doctrines before the Roman Catholic Church. There was little need, at first, to address the errors of the Anabaptists and other groups who broke away from Rome. As more and more people began to break away and their teachings were spread more widely throughout the land, there was more need to address the errors being taught about salvation, Christ, and the work and role of the Holy Spirit.
