Bible Note: Hi Brad, Gye, I think maybe I might be able to help here. If I"m wrong Miller, sorry for poking my nose in :-). Many years ago I received about the same kind of teaching. The terms were different: instead of Miller's "filled with" and "immersion in," I was taught the difference between the "indwelling" of the Spirit (at salvation) and an "infilling." You guys are absolutely 100percent right. It is all the same, G-d gave us everything we need all at once and forever. I think maybe a distinction is being made between the ordinary daily walk in the Spirit and the times when the Spirit is really heavy (such as in corporate praise and worship, or when we're telling someone about Yeshua). At one time I thought it was a "different" infilling of the same Spirit. At that time I was under Pentecostal/Charismatic teachings. I won't say that they actually taught it that way, it's just the way I understood the teachings. I believe now, it's more of a stirring up of the very Spirit that is always there. Most of the time He's doing His work very quietly, but sometimes you can "feel" the Spirit so strongly, it's easy to think that it's a "new" infilling or indwelling. Am I making any sense, or just making matters worse? Shalom Cheri |
