I can't help but to keep on saying it this way, because the Tares are in control of the visible churches. You are regurgitating THEIR slop!!Who calls one into spiritual life? You think the Holy Spirit sits outside of a body, waiting to be let in? The seal of the Holy Spirit starts at conception until it is broken or one has passed from death unto life. The Holy Spirit replaces our spirit, because being born into Adam's family, we do not have a spirit with us. It is with God. The spirit will not join the soul and body until the Second Coming, when the complete image of God will be restored to those under the Atonement Covenant. The word for spirit is the same as breath, but the breath leaves our body at physical death, not the spirit. At conception the spirit is with God, and the Holy Spirit seals us instead of the spirit that is with God. The separation of body soul and spirit happened when Adam ate. Adam lost the spirit. Adam lost the incorruptible permanent physical body. The soul became a sin nature. Everything about Adam died. All his offspring from Seth were in a state of death. The only thing going for them was the work of the Holy Spirit. Faith being the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. After Pentecost the power of the Holy Spirit was given to all freely.
Did all of humanity have the ability to please God, or only a select few? Do you think we have been able to manufacture our own faith, since Seth? Seems to me those who exercised faith since Enoch, did so because of the Holy Spirit, not their sin nature.
Our Holy God cannot, will not, and does not ever permanently indwell unholy beings!!
The permanency of His indwelling of us, was NEVER going to happen, UNTIL the shedding of the perfect and Holy Blood of Christ Jesus, "the lamb OF God".
Prior to that, aside from John the Baptist and Jesus, God the Son (the two anointed ones- KJV Zechariah 4:14), the best that God could do for all others, was to "visit upon" them TEMPORARILY, but He could not ever stay with them or in them.
