Mysteryman said:We do not have the Holy Spirit in our hearts, and the Word never tells us that we do. The gift of the Holy Spirit is upon, and allows a christian to operate the nine manifestations of the Spirit. < The "Spirit" being God himself.
Romans 8:9 --
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.
Notice "if so be that the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now whether or not the Spirit of God and the Spirit of Christ are the same, I will not address in this post. But how can you say that the Holy Spirit is not in us??? Is the Holy Spirit not the Spirit of God? Clearly this scripture says that the Spirit of God dwells in believers, is that NOT that Holy Spirit?
