Receiving the Spirit, and The indwelling of the Spirit

[Bob Carabbio]

Did you examine the quote for context?

The point was to differentiate the Spirits work in the old and the new testaments

SImple Jesus said the SPirit has been WITH you, and He shall be IN you (John 14:17). that's the "New Testament difference".

A NEW testament CHristian has the Holy Spirit IN them, AND when the situation calls for it, they ALSO have the Holy SPirit UPON them, enduing (clothing) them with power from on high (luke 24:49).

"Filled with the Holy SPirit should be understood as: being "fully motivated by" the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit's not a liquid that you can be a quart low of.

There is a difference but

"for He dwelleth with you" means what?

That was easy

I can tell you what it means for "this" Presbyterian who has been filled with the spirit who lives within me.

It means that a lot... not just a little of my replies on threads such as these are at the direction of the Holy Spirit working through me.

And that is very easy.

 

[TomL]

It's present tense. "for He dwelleth you", not will dwell with you. That's a opps. Did you take English in school?

Um shall be in you is future

dwelleth with is present

 

[Presby02]
