1 | Whose baptism? | John 13:6 | ATJ | 37593 | ||
If the people in the Old Testament had the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, then why did Jesus tell his disciple to wait on the Holy Ghost. Seems like to me they would not have had to wait on the Holy Ghost. It is the Holy Spirit that keeps us save. We are saved from the condemnation of sin. As long as we don't fall into sin, then we remain saved. The Holy Spirit does not allow us to fall back into sin but He teaches us live Godly. Now, because of Abrahams faith toward God, It was counted to him as rightousness. Counted as rightous is not the same as being rightous. The indwelling of the Holy Spirit is what allow a person to live Holy. Jesus said that when the Comforter comes, then He shall lead us into all truth. Many people beleived in God before Jesus was crucified but they still had to wait after the resurection. Can a person live in eror and still have the indwelling of Comforter? Is it not the Holy Spirit that seal us? |

I realize this is an old post, but I have to correct something you've said here, you wrote: "Counted as rightous is not the same as being rightous." You are mistaken. The word means counted or credited. It calls to mind an account, with debits and credits. To Abraham's account, was credited righteousness. On the basis of His faith, not works, God counted Him righteous. The only reason this could be possible was because of Jesus Christ. Hebrews 9 says, "15 Therefore he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has occurred which redeems them from the transgressions under the first covenant." Jesus death is not only for those committed on this side of the cross, but it also reaches back to save those faithful who lived before the cross. |
