clear.gif - 808 Bytes Question:

clear.gif - 808 Bytes Recently, I heard someone one give his testimony, and he said that the Holy Spirit is in all of us. Some one else said that this is not true because the Holy Spirit becomes apart of us when we accept Christ into our hearts. Can you help me?

Response:

I have read your question concerning the indwelling ministry of the Holy Spirit. I Cor 3:16 and 6:19 clearly teach that the believers were indwelt. Christ Himself mentioned the indwelling of the Spirit for believers in John 7:38-39. Galatians 3:22 indicates that the believers there received the Spirit as a result of their salvation by grace. Galatians 4:6 states that God sends His Spirit into our hearts because we are sons (already saved).

Romans 8:9 indicates that those who do not have the Holy Spirit are unbelievers. Jude 19 calls those without the Spirit "sensual", which is the same Greek word that is translated "natural" in I Cor 2:14. Of course, the "natural man" is unsaved.

The Bible teaching is clear that the indwelling of the Spirit comes at the point of salvation, not before.

May the Lord bless you.
