Southern Baptist Convention Throws Out Saddleback Church

[BrownFlush]

That posting length and style doesn’t work for me. If you can condense it or break it up I’m all in, if not them no thank you. Sorry.

So it's how I posted that keeps you from answering?
Hope this helps. (Scripture is included to help maintain what God has said)

1. How does the Spirit dwell in us?
2."Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me?" -John 14:10 Is God literally in Jesus? Is Jesus literally in God?
3."I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me." -Galatians 2:20 Did Jesus literally live in Paul?
4."Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.- Colossians 3:16 Does the word literally dwell in you?
5."You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness. If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you." Romans 8: 9-11 Is Jesus literally in you? If not, why is the Holy Spirit literally in you, but Jesus isn't?
6.Please find a passage where the Holy Spirit was literally "in" someone.
7.When were you baptized with power (from the Holy Spirit) to perform miracles?(one of which would be the ability to hear the voice of God's Spirit personally and directly)(questions 8 thru 13 are related to this question when you realized the Spirit was literally inside you)
8.What did you do?
9.Where and what happened?
10.What did you remember about what Jesus said to you?
11. Which gospel did you write?
12.What miracle can you do?
13.Did it look anything like Acts 2 when it happened to the Apostles as Jesus promised to THEM?

Yikes. Condensed?

I’ll try.

1. How does the Spirit dwell in us?

Spiritually.

 

[Integrity]

2."Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me?" -John 14:10 Is God literally in Jesus? Is Jesus literally in God?

Spiritually yes, for both.

Yet distinct.

 

[BrownFlush]

Spiritually.

So the Holy Spirit is not in you personally?

 

[BrownFlush]

Spiritually yes, for both.

Yet distinct.

So Diety dwells in each other spiritually? The same way that Deity dwells in you?

 

[Integrity]

So the Holy Spirit is not in you personally?

The Holy Spirit is in me personally.

 

[vantexan]

The Holy Spirit is in me personally.

Let him out!! Stop hogging him!!!

 

[Thebrownblob]

Let him out!! Stop hogging him!!!

I was gonna say he’s probably trapped, poor guy

 

[Integrity]

So Diety dwells in each other spiritually?

Yes and the are also separate and distinct.

The same way that Deity dwells in you?

Yes the Holy Spirit that dwells I’m me and all believers is the same Spirit that is in the Father and the same Spirit that is in Jesus.

 

[BrownFlush]

Yes and the are also separate and distinct.

Yes the Holy Spirit that dwells I’m me and all believers is the same Spirit that is in the Father and the same Spirit that is in Jesus.

How doe that happen? There is only one Holy Spirit. So, there is a bunch of midget Holy Spirits personally inside of every Christian?
Please state the passage that reveals this?

True or not He doesn’t need scripture remember?

I believe in the mystery that God is omnipresent.

I also believe that there are those that believe the Bible also teaches this.

Although it is not the basis for my belief but I do believe those who say this.

I've heard of the Spirit moving you. This could possibly the first case of the Spirit wanting to get out of someone asap,

3."I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me." -Galatians 2:20 Did Jesus literally live in Paul?

Spiritually yes, as I believe He spiritually lives in all who believes.

Gotta side with @Integrity here. There are several verses that states the Spirit dwells in us. And how he does it, I don't know, but I try not to limit what God can and cannot do, and if I believe in the Bible, then I have to believe he does.

1 Corinthians 3:16 for one.

I have tried once again to have a honest religious discussion/debate with you.
You are not able to do anything but spout I believe, I also believe, I believe those, etc. You never cite scripture or text to cite "your belief" for the authority/proof for said, I believe, so it is impossible to discuss why you believe.
In the rare occasion you do cite scripture, and it is refuted or requires more discussion, it becomes opinion, because your belief does not line up with what the Bible actually has to say about a subject..
Too bad. The Holy Spirit, its person, its work, etc. is a great study.

God is the basis for my beliefs that I share with the religious authors and/or writings deemed scripture by religious tradition.

It is not the religious authors and/or writings deemed scripture by religious tradition that is the basis for my belief in God,.

I am trying to work with you here.

Sorry I am falling short.

1 Corinthians 3:16 for one.

"Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?" As I have stated there is no doubt that the Holy Spirit dwells in the Christian. What has not been answered , but asked, is HOW does he dwell in the Christian?
The passages stated show that God is not personally and literally in Jesus. Jesus is not in God personally and literally. The word of God is not literally and personally in you. You do not have a physical bible in you.
In the Romans 8 text, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are both in a person. Yet no one says that Jesus is in you personally but the Holy Spirit is.
I'm "in" my son. You can see me "in" him. He is"in" me.
Jesus said if you seen me, you seen the Father. They seen Jesus personally but not the Father. He was talking about who he was.
The word is in me because I represent what is written in it.
The Holy Spirit is in me the same way. When a Christian produces the fruits of the Spirit, (you can know what they are by reading what the Spirit wrote in the Bible) he is showing the world that the Spirit is in him.
God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, the Word (All of which have been stated is "in" the Christian) are all in me the SAME way. Representatively.
Proof just using No Integrity that the Holy Spirit is NOT in him is in his own statements. He doesn't believe all the Bible. It is not his only source of authority when it comes to religious matters, etc. The Holy Spirit does not contradict his written word.
