Two Spirits. In Pauline letters, the Holy Spirit is received at the moment of faith in Christ, signifying adoption as God’s children, bestowing spiritual gifts, sealing salvation, and producing the fruit of the Spirit as believers are sanctified to reflect Christ. In contrast, the non-Pauline letters describe the Holy Spirit as granted only to those who obey Christ, requiring to be born of God and God’s seed in them, which renders them incapable of sinning and overcoming the world. Which Spirit do you have? Do not be deceived. Test every spirit.
