Summary/Abstract: The neoevangelical theology, embedded in the culture of the United States, is a kind of compromise between fundamental and liberal thought, in the Protestant world. Thus, it seems the closest in its assumptions to the theology of Catholic Church. Therefore, it is reasonable to examine what it says about the role of the Holy Spirit in shaping of a Christian life. This article, based on the preaching of Billy Graham, presents four activities of the Holy Spirit in the Christian life, distinguished by neoevangelical theology: he convicts about sin, he gives a new life, he helps to choose God, he lets people understand the Bible. Every activity was commented from the perspective of Catholic theology.
