I don't think God abandons a believer completely when quenching or grieving the Spirit. EDIT: What's the exact difference between quenching and grieving? I think they're both the same.

Paul instructs us not to grieve the Holy Spirit. What grieves the Holy Spirit? Sin...

I would guess because the spirit is the epitome of the person. Our spirits are dead before coming to faith though. So where is the spirit of a man before coming to saving faith?

according to your definitions. the Spirit is saved.

The soul is born again. Soul and Psyche is not the same thing.

Our position before God, when we are born again, is that we are sinless. But we still live on earth and fall short. If you don't think you sin and if you think you're sinlessly perfect, then I disagree with that.

But that's not what 1stCenturyLady thinks. She thinks she's sinlessly perfect. I disagree. Only Jesus was sinlessly perfect.

Not every "miracle" is real, sorry.

I find this response interesting. Instead of turning the other cheek when someone insults you, you return the insult. That's not being like Christ. To be unlike Christ is to sin. I think if you were to be honest with yourself right now, you'd have no choice but to come to the conclusion that...

Because they're deluded into thinking they're casting out demons when they are only fooling themselves? I'm not talking about Christians who genuinely cast out demons in others. I'm just saying, there are a lot of people out there that think they're casting out demons when it's just their...

Because I was made to realize that Jesus is God.

It's talking about people who are deluded into believing that they're performing miracles. What makes this sin is the fact that it's not real miracles and it deludes people

On the contrary. There are plenty of false teachers of the charismatic variety that think they cast out demons on a regular basis. Christ is surely speaking to them in Matt 7

Maybe you were born again, God just enhanced your experience?

I'm saying you would need to be omniscient to avoid sin completely.

There are numerous passages in the bible addressed to believers to repent for sins committed. These passages are directed at believers, which means even believers are capable of sin. They cannot be talking to Reprobate who have no connection with God at all.

What's the point for a sinner who is outside the blood of Christ to confess sins to anyone? It's pointless, their destination is clearly hell. Clearly Christians are still capable of falling short from time to time since we are not omniscient. I'm happy for you. And I'm sure the rest of the...

It happens my friend. I hope your divergence was edifying in some way.

Your desire is the desire of the pure in heart. Bless you @Wynona I too long to experience God's greatness and majesty, especially when it feels like He is silent. But we must not think He has forgotten us.

Yeah Romans 8:28 is great. Romans 8 is my favorite chapter out of Romans
