The spirit of Christ is the same as the holy spirit which is the new nature.I'm giving you what i understand by terms... so it's more clear.
core = the soul from God.
salvation = a soul to have met Him and accepted Him is more correct. Thus no saved in the way you define it...
Self or old nature = the physical body and its natural mind.
Spirit of Christ? I will just say 'Christ' as your term makes no sense.
Answer
1 Before or after meeting Him a soul is still the same core but where before entirely dominated by a foreign entity and nature... After meeting Him the foreign nature is there still but now the soul is separated from it and distinguishable from it and listens to God not to that nature . Can the soul make a mistake still, yes.
2. If a soul is still in the flesh body and uses its natural mind then it , the foreign nature, is not entirely obliterated until meeting christ on the clouds and receiving our glorified body, after which the soul is restored to paradise and with God again face to face.
3. My conclusions cannot be flattened into yours since my 1 and 2 have entirely different meanings which do not correspond to your meanings and Since the spirit of Christ is not a synonym to His Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is the Feminine Spirit of God... God's Feminine Spirit.The spirit of Christ is the same as the holy spirit which is the new nature.
But I would not phrase as Spirit of Christ that way..Spirit of Christ is fine, of course as a concept for me,
once the above I wrote is clear.
Yes, brother! What I've come to understand is that the Church teaches repentance is us" turning away from sin." I found that just doesn't work. It is when you come to realize you love your sin, and that is the reason you can't overcome it yourself. We need to turn to Jesus and ask Him to take away the desire to commit that sin because we can't. Oh, the "turning away" may last a couple days, but sooner or later you are going to fail keeping away from it when it is so attached to our nature. That is why when Jesus takes away our sin it is from the source of that sin - our nature. Our old nature is so strong that is why the Church believes we will always sin because we will always have that sin nature. WRONG!!! Jesus is the AUTHOR AND FINISHER of our faith. He has to do it. We have no power in ourselves to turn away from sin for good. But when Jesus takes away that desire, He kills it dead.Boy we agree on this one.
Here is why Spirit of Christ is correct.But I would not phrase as Spirit of Christ that way..
I would simply say God's Spirit , His Holy Spirit..
its not a big deal as long as understandingHere is why Spirit of Christ is correct.
Romans 8:9 "9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.
Eve, that is the problem with those in denominations and beliefs out of the Reformation. They thought with only their human nature, and could not discern the spiritual and supernatural that Jesus does in His own. Our new nature is internal and has NOTHING to do with our body, but because seeing as they were still sinning due to not having received the Holy Spirit they believed sin comes from our body. No! Our body is like a dead floppy puppet. It does not contain sin, but because of Adam's sin will die and be replaced just like our new nature replaced the old man. It is our nature, either a sin nature or a divine nature that controls the puppet. Our new nature consists of a new mind/spirit and conscience/soul. Where God is there is no darkness at all.i think meeting Him and being His
have been confused with 'a new nature'
but that is basically that His will be restored
to our glorified body at rapture which
was our nature before adam left God...
The first teachers out of the Reformation like Calvin, Jesus said to them: "You have a name that you are alive, but you are dead." Don't be fooled. Those beliefs are doctrines of demons that will only lead to death.Not by accident did calvin come up with the things he did...
Nope - we're born with a HUMAN NATURE that Adam was created witn , and Jesus had also. Adam's nature NEVER CHANGED. His Spiritual status did, however.We are born with a Sin Nature.
Obviously not, since Christians SIN like anybody else, but probably less so, as they mature in the Faith, and the process of sanctification does its work. fortunately we have an advocate - 1 John 1:9Do you believe that the blood of Jesus takes away the sin out of our nature?
you already know the answer, unless you've deceived your self to actually believe that you don't SIN any more.Or do you believe the blood of Jesus is not that powerful and we still live with our sin nature?
Nope just ONE HUMAN NATURE. we are, however indwelled by the Holy Spirit who works IN US to conform us to the image of Jesus (Rom 8:28,29).And Jesus added a sin-free nature so that we now have two natures?

true but the evil realm has 'light' it stole... currently until it is judged on His Day, so it can and does masquerade, for now, as having a god's light.Where God is there is no darkness at all.
In Him would be exactly what we are not ... except a tiny bit by our wee soul.... since we left paradise. If IN Him we would be in His cosmology not this one, and wexeould be walking in eden paradise with Him. This current one is not His creation.1 John 3: 5 And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin. 6 Whoever abides in Him does not sin.
Since before Christ, began the corruption of His Words, when Ptolemy II, a pagan, had scribes 'write' their own sayings mixed in with what God said, resulting in the sorcery septuagint. And that sorcery text, plus the sorcery KJV who esau magician john dee helped produce, are the two texts scholars (pharisees) 'translate from', producing their derivative bible versions from these two corrupt texts... which most everyone follows = the sealed vision. So forgive me but I don't assume Jesus said that.The first teachers out of the Reformation like Calvin, Jesus said to them: "You have a name that you are alive, but you are dead." Don't be fooled. Those beliefs are doctrines of demons that will only lead to death.
Oh my, a Calvinist Pentecostal. This is the reason I don't belong to any denomination. Lack of knowledge of the Bible., especially the power of Jesus. Adam was created with a human nature, but when he willfully sinned, all after him sinned and him himself sinned, "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."Nope - we're born with a HUMAN NATURE that Adam was created witn , and Jesus had also. Adam's nature NEVER CHANGED. His Spiritual status did, however.

Chuckle!! Another "Lone Ranger". Personally I belong to an Assembly of God church (Crossroads of Life AG in Duncanville, TX). the overall AG "package" is acceptable to me, and the church (except for the gosh-awful contemporary music) is good and has excellent teaching.This is the reason I don't belong to any denomination.
Actually it was EVE who accepted that God was a liar, and sinned FIRST. Adam, who should have known better, Chose satan over God also. Adam's NATURE never changes, but his SPIRITUAL CONDITION did. And, of course Adam turned over his God given dominion to satan which is why satan is "the prince of the power of the air" in Adam's place.Adam was created with a human nature, but when he willfully sinned, all after him sinned and him himself sinned, "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
Over the years, several, of course. I never killed anybody, though, and I've been monogamout for the last 59 years. I've probably been in multiple heresies over the years - (used to be a Baptist).Bob, look at Galatians 5:19-21 and with just a number how many of these do you commit?
In that case, I've got some nice ocean front property in Nebraska you might be interested in -I don't commit any in answer to your question.

19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
In other words you are a sinner and proud of it! You also believe you are in the majority of "Christians."Chuckle!! Another "Lone Ranger".
