Bible Note: Greetings Hoppy! So, you are saying that unregenerate people can partake of the Holy Spirit? Is the Holy Spirit common? Does everyone partake of the Holy Spirit? I just can't see any possible way that 'partakers of the Holy Spirit' can be applied to the unregenerate. It would be a stretch to even say this of 'enlightened' or 'tasted', but 'partakers' have to actually be partners with the Holy Spirit. The author of Hebrews uses this word several times, and it always seems to describe a relationship - the lost have no relationship with the Holy Spirit. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
