Hello 101G,
The Apostle John records that the Lord Jesus said "I will come to you" (John 14:18). There is no limitation which correlates to my perceived meaning of your post, for example, John the Baptist was filled with the Holy Spirit (Luke 1:15) at time John the unborn baby leaped in Elizabeth's womb upon the pregnant with baby Jesus Mary's greeting (Luke 1:41). My perceived meaning of your post is that you try to make Jesus more than One God with the Holy Spirit, I persceive that you are trying to make Jesus the same person (or some such) as the Holy Spirit; moreover, such a same person concept fails in the account of the unborn babies of Lord Jesus and John the Baptist which places the Holy Spirit filled John prior to Pentecost, and there are other passages in scripture that demonstrate the failing of the same person concept.
You see, Lord Jesus said "I" for Himself, and Lord Jesus said "He" for the Holy Spirit. By God's grace, Lord Jesus distinguishes Himself and the Holy Spirit. That which is written in
"One God Three Persons Post (in this thread) and
"One God Three Persons - Adjunct Post (in this trhead)" remains true and valid.
In the baptism of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,
Kermos
first thanks for the reply. second, the LORD Jesus who is the Holy Spirit is one God, only diversified of his ownself. and as Spirit without a body he can dwell in anyone. just as the Lord Jesus with the G2758 κενόω kenoo (ke-no-ō') as with John the baptist. or John's father who was filled with the Spirit, see Luke 1:67 . but on Pentecost, after sin was removed, he was poured out on all flesh per Joel 2:28 & 29. which was in direct respond to Judas question in John 14:21 "He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and
will manifest myself to him.
now, Judas question, the very next verse. John 14:22 "Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt
manifest thyself unto us,
and not unto the world?". Good question, his answer, John 14:23 "Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and
we will come unto him, and make our abode with him".
that "MANIFESTATION" came on the day of Pentecost, in the spiritual gifts.
the
we here in John 14:23 is the Father, and the Son, but who came? the comforter. one Person came and it's one [person who dwells in us]. did not the Lord Jesus say, "If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and
we will come unto him, and make our abode with him", so who came? who was sent then? if all three came and dwells in us. if one have the HOLY SPIRIT? is it he, are they that dwells in us??. remember the Lord Jesus said that "
we will come unto him, and make our abode with him". so how many person is dwelling in you? answer, ONE PERSON. remember the Lord Jesus said the Father will send the comforter in my name. (John 14:26), but the Lord Jesus said, he will send the Comforter, (John 15:26). if the Lord Jesus sent the Comforter, and the Father sent the Comforter, how is the Father and Son are dwelling in us if they sent the comforter, the Holy Spirit.
now, is the Comforter the title holder of Son and the Father, we say yes.
the Lord Jesus plainly said, John 14:18 "I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you". and again in Matthew 28:18 "And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Matthew 28:19 "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Matthew 28:20 "Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:
and, lo, I am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen". here clearly the Lord Jesus said that he is with you even unto the END of the WORLD.
well the WORLD has not yet ended. which means the Lord Jesus is here with us. how? in Spirit. but is not the Holy Spirit here now. let's check the record. Romans 8:9 "But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his".
here you have A. the Spirit of God, B. the Spirit of Christ. both are in caps. please don't say it's two "Spirit(s)".
