We have talked about what Jesus said about that the Spirit was with you, but shall be in you. We know about the new birth, we know about the difference between Salvation, and being born again, and being filled with the Spirit.
It’s important to know those who are walking in a state of Salvation- without being born again can never be fit together into the Church properly as a member- simply because they are not able to yield fully to what the Spirit of God would have them do. It’s the Spirit that sets in the body, because the Spirit is building the temple or the Bride of Christ and those who have salvation are not really a part of the Bride of Christ- they are a friend of the Bride Groom!
I am not playing down the importance of Salvation, because that’s not what I am doing. I want you to understand that Salvation is vitally important, but Salvation is the beginning.
Salvation is obedience to the voice of the Spirit, to accept Jesus Christ as your savior from sin, and basically he begins from that point. Once he has brought you into the promised benefits of the blessing of calling upon the name of the Lord, from there he begins to work with you, presenting the Word and the Truth to you, to bring you to the point so that you will receive and accept the seed basically of God, which is to be born into the family of God! The combination work, of the seed Word and the Spirit births you!
You may get the seed Word at the moment you get Salvation, and you may get the Spirit to move on that seed Word at the moment of Salvation and get born again during your salvation process, and I would say glory to God! But- it could also be that you get Salvation AND YOU NEVER HEAR OR LISTEN TO THE SEED WORD , of being born again into the family of God, but basically at that point of Salvation you receive the power to become a child of God, and the Spirit is working with us to bring us to that point.
There are those that just simply say that there is no such thing, as being born again, and simply they are resisting the Spirit!
::)Now – I said all that- basically to present the fact, that you are going to find it very difficult for people who have Salvation – who actually want to be a part of the Church- they can be a part of the organization, but hard to fit into the organism; because they are not going to hear or obey the Spirit of God, like someone who is born again by the Spirit! It just can’t happen! It doesn’t mean they are they are not good people, it simply means they just won’t yield and let the Spirit have that work in them, then they are not going to actually be set in as a living stone into the body. It is not divisive, not by the Spirit, it is only restricted by those who won’t yield and let the Spirit have everything he wants.
So the Spirit of God is working to bring everybody not only to point of Passover, but through Passover to Pentecost, through Pentecost to Tabernacles. That is really where he wants to get us! The Church is the only one [not denominations] that’s going to see the fulfillment of the design Feast of Tabernacles. It will be seen through the Church, and experienced by the individual believer!
