Hi CDBJ:: We are a Vessle created by God, upon our salvation, we are (Filled) with God's Holy Spirit, from that moment on, we are (Indwelled) by the Holy Spirit. Where is it written, this filling (Can) or Does) take place, more than once? Just what would the process be, by which we can be (Unfilled), without being (Undwelled) at the same time? (EXAMPLE) If I have an empty glass, (representing the unregenerate person). Then I take a fluid, filling this glass, until full (representing the infilling of God's Holy Spirit). The glass now stands being (Indwelled) by this fluid, (representing the Believer). If I pour out even (One) drop of fluid, the glass in effect, is not full anymore. The questions then arise. 1) How much of the Holy Spirit is lost upon sinning? 2) Is the amount of loss, determined by the degree of Sin committed? If you (Sin, as a believer) you are in effect, putting yourself back under the Law, acknowledging that now being saved, (freed from sin) by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, we are kept free by the keeping of the Law. 3) Does not Sinning, which can only be attributed to us, by the (Transgression) of the Law, on the part of the Believer, constitute (Falling Away)? We can't lose our salvation.. Jas. 2:1010) For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. Gal. 3:1-3 1) O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? 2) This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 3) Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? Heb. 6:4-6 4) For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5) And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 6) ("If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance"); ("seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh"), ("and put him to an open shame"). In Christ Alone Nevvvvine |

The Koine Greek word for filled of Ephes. 5:18 is the present tense, passive voice, imperative mood of PLEROO. We are command, as believers to be constantly filled with the Spirit. The passive voice means we receive the action of the verb, i.e. we do something then God does something for us when we confess or sins. Ephes. 5:18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; If we confess our known sins God is faithful and just to forgive us! John tells us of fellowship, and darkness, this is being in a state of carnality or under the control of our old sin nature which is a condition of sin in our lives. 1 John 1:6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: As a child of God we “can’t” loose our salvation but we can sure be out of fellowship as a result of sin in our lives. Everything that we do while in a state of carnality, under the control of our old sin natures, falls under the catagory of human good and it will turn out to be wood hay and stubble at the judgment seat of Christ. All that we do while under the control of the Holy Spirit will be gold, silver and precious stones. Often time’s people are dictated to by their emotions more then they are sound Bible doctrine and as a result they fail to hear the truth of God’s Word after responding to the message of the gospel. As a result they log more time in carnality then they do in fellowship or being filled with the Spirit. This type of condition expresses it’s self with wide emotional swings. They go from emotional highs to depressing lows due to a lack of residual doctrine residing in their soul. They end up, even as believers, being an emotional wreck and they wonder why! Have a great day, CDBJ |
