LESSON 214 (9-8-22)
Take always from the Berean Call Reprints above:
1. The indwelling of the H.S. is not a mere figure of speech.

2. Every Church Age believer automatically receives the indwelling of the
H.S. at the moment he or she is saved.

3. The indwelling of the H.S, the indwelling of J.C., the filling of the H.S.
and the baptism of the H.S. all occur at the same time (moment of
salv.). But every one of these are distinct and function differently.

4. The indwelling of the H.S. and indwelling of J.C. and the baptism of the
H.S. have this in common; they are permanent and irrevocable which
make them different from the filling of the H.S.

5. Our relationship with God is based on faith and obedience, but the
indwelling of Christ & the Holy Spirit, and the baptism of the Holy Spirit
are not established nor maintained by faith or obedience.

6. Since the filling of the H.S. is not permanent or irrevocable, it must be
maintained by faith and obedience. When we sin, we lose our “spiritual
status” and go into a “non-spiritual status” called “carnality”.

7. God has graciously provided a way for us to regain our spiritual status
by acknowledging our sins to GF (1 John 1:9). This is the only way to
grow spiritually and to enhance our relationship with God.

The following scriptures help shed light on the “law of the Spirit of life” we find in Romans 8:2.

1 Corinthians 2:6-16 Yet we do speak wisdom among those who are mature; a wisdom, however, not of this age nor of the rulers of this age, who are passing away;
7) but we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom, which God predestined before the ages to our glory;
8) the wisdom which none of the rulers of this age has understood; for if they had understood it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory;
9) but just as it is written, "Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard, And which have not entered the heart of man, All that God has prepared for those who love Him." (Isa. 64:4)
10) For to us God revealed them through the (Holy) Spirit; for the (Holy) Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.
11) For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the (human) spirit of the man, which is in him? Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God.
12) Now we have received, not the spirit of the world (activating principle influencing a person), but the (Holy) Spirit who is from God, that we might know (v.ras) the things freely given to us by God,
13) which things we (Paul and his followers) also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the (Holy) Spirit, combining spiritual (pneumatikos) thoughts with spiritual (pneumatikos) words (sp. thoughts produce sp. words, ex. “redemption”, “justification” “sanctification”, “imputation”, “baptism” etc.) [*See the ESV version of vs. 13 below]
14) But a natural man (psuchikos, “soulish” man, unbeliever) does not accept (v.pmi) the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them (he’s sp. dead), because they are spiritually appraised (examined).
15) But he who is spiritual appraises (examines) (v.pai) all things, yet he himself is appraised (judged) by no one.
16) For "who has known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him?" But we have the mind of Christ (Bible Doctrine).

* (ESV) 1 Corinthians 2:13 And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual (filled with the Holy Spirit).
