Subject: Filled with Holy Spirit? |
Bible Note: 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."?
