1 | Filled with Holy Spirit? | Eph 4:23 | Ray | 150139 | ||
Hi Tim, When you say that we are not going to run out of Holy Spirit you are disagreeing with the "leak" idea suggested by some. Right? That idea doesn't hold water with me either, but then again the question is moot with me because I don't believe that we are "filled" with the Holy Spirit. From my point of view, it is not like we are going to run out of wind, or spirit either. John 3:5, Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and of *spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the *spirit is spirit. 7 Do not marvel that I said to you, "You must be born from above." 8 The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the *spirit." That is the way I see it. And what we are doing here is testing the spirits [the words] to see which are from God; and not only that but also testing to see which ones are speaking of God Himself. 1) For instance John 6:63 that I referenced earlier, should it read "It is the Spirit who gives life" or "The Spirit is the One who gives life."?

Greetings Ray! If you accept that the Holy Spirit dwells within us (per Rom. 8:11), what is the difference between dwelling and filling? Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

3 | Filled with Holy Spirit? | Eph 4:23 | Ray | 150276 | ||
Hi Tim, There is a difference between "indwelling" and "dwelling". The Holy Spirit indwells us. We are filled with the holy spirit. Job 33:4, "The *Spirit of God/ has made me, And the breath of the Almighty gives me life." Revelation 11:11, "...the breath of life from *God came into them..." Job 34:14b, "...If **He should gather to Himself/ His (s)Spirit and His breath, All flesh would perish together, and man would return to dust." From the heart, Ray |

Greetings Ray! First of all, if I have understood your position correctly, you are concerned that one could not be 'filled' with the Holy Spirit because one could not contain all of the Holy Spirit. Yet, would not this also be a problem with indwelling in a believer as well? Does 'all' of the Holy Spirit indwell us or just part? ;-) If all of the Holy Spirit can indwell a believer, why can't all of the Holy Spirit fill a believer? Secondly, none of the Scriptures you cited in your last post said anything about 'pneuma hagios'. So, how did they make your case my friend? Finally, where does Scripture make a distinction between 'dwelling' and 'indwelling'? Rom. 8:11 actually uses the word 'to dwell' in reference to the Holy Spirit and His relationship to believers. So, I'm not sure what you mean by your distinction between the two words. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
