‘Mid-Acts-ers’ are supportive of the truth that God’s Spirit dwells in us, since PAUL penned it:
Rom 8:8-9 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you.
Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
‘Mid-Acts-ers’ will even agree that we have the Spirit of Christ, since PAUL wrote it, too:
Gal 4:6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
However, ‘mid-Acts-ers’ are dismissive of the fact that the Spirit of Christ was in Israel’s prophets of the OLD testament. PETER wrote that, and ‘mid-Acts-ers’ divide it away. Do they think this is a DIFFERENT Spirit of Christ than the Spirit of Christ that Paul wrote of?
1 Peter 1:10-11 Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:
11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.
‘Mid-Acts-ers’ will admit that God gave us the Holy Spirit, since PAUL’s epistle says it:
1 Thess 4:8 He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit. (also 2 Cor 5:5)
But ‘mid-Acts-ers’ don’t like, don’t want, and don’t take, the SAME promise of the gift of the Spirit in JOHN’s epistle:
1 John 3:24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
1 John 4:13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
PETER told the council of apostles and elders at Jerusalem that God gave the Holy Ghost to the Gentiles, the same as He did to the Jews:
Acts 15:7-9 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
8 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;
9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
‘Mid-Acts-ers’ are constantly dividing and contrasting, in the name of ‘rightly’ dividing .... but the truth is, they are ‘WRONGLY’ dividing.
This is David Dowell saying, "Think about it!"
