The Work of the Spirit is for the Church !

Yes, you continued to conflate the world with the elect, conflating the world with my sheep and conflating convict with regenerate.
its only the elect, which are the ones Christ gives Life to by His Spirit because He put away their sins. Where sins have been put away, death has been abolished, and life given in its place. So if a person is never given life, spiritual, Christ didnt put away their sins.
Unfortunately for you the Bible does not agree with you. John makes it very clear that the Atonement is not just for believers but for the whole world. So, you can now dispense with your limited atonement heresy.

(1 John 2:2) He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.
 
The Holy Spirit reveals Salvation to Gods Elect !

Jesus indicates as much here Jn 16:13-15

13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.


14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

15
All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.


This isnt just a promise to Christ's disciples, but to His Church, His Body He was about to give Himself for Eph 5:25-26,

The Spirit is given to all the redeemed in order that they may come to know the things freely given to them as Gifts of Redemption so Paul writes 1 Cor 2:7-12
7 But we speak the wisdom of God [The Gospel of Christ 1 Cor 1:24] in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:

8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

The Spirit is given to the redeemed one in order to give them a experimental knowledge of Salvation, things freely given them of God, which things accompany the giving of Christ for them as Per Rom 8:32

32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

And so the Spirit is given along with Christ in order to show, reveal to the hearts and minds, conscience of the redeemed those things freely given to them with Christ !

One such thing freely given is forgiveness , pardon. The greek word for freely given in 1 Cor 2:12 is charizomai and primarily means :

properly, to extend favor ("grace"), freely give favor to grant forgiveness (pardon).

xarízomai
("favor that cancels") is used of God giving His grace to pardon. This is freely done and therefore not based on any merit of the one receiving forgiveness.
[5483 (xarízomai) literally means, "to exercise grace, freely show favor," i.e. willingly ("graciously") bestow.]


All for whom Christ was given, God graciously bestows upon them in His court of Law and Justice forgiveness of sins according to the richs of His Grace Eph 1:7

In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

Now this be one of things the Spirit is given for, to make their forgiveness known unto them !

Thats the Elect, or Sheep. John has made it clear who Christ specifically laid down His life for in his Gospel Jn 10:10,11,15 and soooner or later the Spirit will quicken each one of them and give them life in behalf of Christ.
 
And it should be understood that forgiveness or remission of sins is Salvation !Lk 1:77

77 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins, 10

Thats simply all the elect in the whole world

Your cavalier way of manipulating Bible verses can only mean 2 things. First is that you've bestowed upon yourself the office of the Pope. Second is that you're messing with us and getting your laughs from doing so. So which is you? Either way, you've just exposed yourself by changing "the whole world" to "all the elect in the whole world".

(1 John 2:2) He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.

Anyone with understanding knows 1 Jn 2:2 is the elect. If Christ is one propitiation, they are Justified from all sin. That can apply to only some people, bcause the rest going to hell for their sins
 
The expedient work of the Comforter or Holy Spirit !

John 16:7

Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.


Even though Christ here is speaking directly to His disciples, its still His Church, His Body He's referring to, for they are only members of His Body 1 Cor 12:27-28

27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.


28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.

Now it was expedient that Christ go away [ to be glorified] in order that He would send the Spirit, Counselor back to His Body the Church. Remember when Christ was Glorified after His Death and Ascension , He received of the Father the Holy Spirit Acts 2:32-33


32 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.


33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear. See Eph 4:8;Ps 68:18

Now the Work of the Spirit in the sphere of Salvation accomplished by Christ for His People is to apply Salvation to each member of the Body/Church of Christ in due season. This begins with giving them new birth, or spiritual life, or being born again, to effect their spiritual conversion !
 
The expedient work of the Comforter or Holy Spirit !

John 16:7

Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
There you go again, letting your imagination think that the Holy Spirit convicting the world is the Holy Spirit regenerating the elect. If we all let our imaginations flare like yours then we would all be just as distorted as you are.
 
Yes, you continued to conflate the world with the elect, conflating the world with my sheep and conflating convict with regenerate.

yes amazing how God never does that in Scripture but those with an agenda twist its meaning to fit their doctrine.
 
There you go again, letting your imagination think that the Holy Spirit convicting the world is the Holy Spirit regenerating the elect. If we all let our imaginations flare like yours then we would all be just as distorted as you are.
The Church, for whom Christ died and redeemed, each member of it in due time will be quickened by the Spirit, made alive. Like when Paul wrote to the redeemed Galatians this Gal 4:4-6

4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

So whoever Christ died for, His Elect, and redeemed, sooner or later God sends the Spirit into their hearts to regenerate them causing them to call on God

First you said it was only the elect. Now you beginning to promote verses that only mention those "under the law". You are beginning to sound like our good friend Jer15.
6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

So whoever Christ died for, His Elect, and redeemed, sooner or later God sends the Spirit into their hearts to regenerate them causing them to call on God
Christ died for all and only those who are justified by faith end up receiving salvation.
 
The Spirit in Salvation, its imperative, for Just as the Head was quickened by the Spirit after having died for the sins of His People 1 Pet 3:18

For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death[for their sins] in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

This quickened by the Spirit refers to Christs resurrection, and again He's the Head of His Body,

So it shall be that every member of His Body shall likewise be quickened by the Spirit Jn 6:63

It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

As the Spirit gave life to the Head, its a sure thing, He will give life to all the members of His Body. Christ the Head, by virtue of the His Spirit, shall give life or quicken all His members 1 Cor 15:45

And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. 10
