Receive the HS, how today ?

[seer]

So God is beholden to the laying on of human hands before he dispenses his Spirit?

Eph 1:13 is straight forward, if you believe otherwise, why ?
Hear then trust then believe equals sealed with the Spirit.
In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

Eph 1:13 is straight forward, if you believe otherwise, why ?
Hear then trust then believe equals sealed with the Spirit.
In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

Now you aren't answering my question just like another ONE, why not?

The correct answer to Eph 1:13 is not the Holy Spirit of the triune God. The FIRST holy Spirit of promise is the holy spirit of "Jesus, the christos" IOW Jesus the anointed one.

Did you FIRST TRUST for the Holy Spirit of the Trinity? Or did you FIRST TRUST in the annointing/christos for your unsaved HUMAN spirit? What is the 'context of your 'out of context' quoting (understanding?) of verse 13? Back up and read 12;

KJV EPH 1:12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
13* In whom ye also trusted,

I first trusted in the same annointing/christos which "Jesus the christ" was born with. And 'my spirit' was born again.

SRN 5547 christos
anointed, i.e. the Messiah, an epithet of Jesus

messiah isn't a 'proper noun' name of Jesus
And an epithet isn't a name at all...it is a TITLE

I can unpack so much more concerning this, but I'll stop here while it's still milky......I hope.


EDIT; changed "quoting" to "quoting" (UNDERSTANDING?)

 

[Behold]

Peter,

Peter in Acts 2 knew nothing about the Holy Spirit, or how to receive the HS.

So, where does the understanding come from? ?? It comes from The Apostle Paul, who revealed 3 "Mysteries" for the Church, that were not revealed until Jesus sent Paul to reveal them.

They are...

1.) The Body of Christ, that is the NT Church, that began when Jesus died on The Cross = as His sacrifice BIRTHED the NT Body of Christ.

2.) The Holy Spirit in you.. as "Christ in you, the Hope of Glory"

3.) All believers are 'IN Christ"

See those 3?
Those are "mysteries", that were not revealed in the OT, and Paul was sent by Jesus to reveal them., and He did.
