Being moved by the spirit is not the same as indwelt. Balaam;s donkey was moved by the spirit to talk, the donkey was not indwelt. The spirit can be moving in a person, without indwelling him. Movement can come and go, indwelling is forever.
the death from being carnally minded speaks about our lives on earth and how they will operate. I think we could agree that Biblically both words "life" and "death" have multiple contextural meanings. In Rom 8 they speak to the nature of our earthly experience.
except Peter declarers the SPIRIT of CHRIST was IN THEM- the prophets in the OT, not upon them.
Well back to Balaam's donkey. Was the donkey indwelt and born again?
What happened at pentecost was that all believers now receive the HS. In the OT only a few select would receive it. Do you need examples?
That is putting quite a lot of spin on it. Have you read the book of Jeremiah, how he relentlessly prophesied to Israel the word of God all the day long, from morning until evening against all the odds, against relentless opposition and persecution for many years, until his prophecy was fulfilled and Jerusalem was destroyed? Do you think he could have done that without the permanent indwelling of the Holy Ghost? And Balaam's donkey was not "moved upon by the Holy Ghost" LOL! It says that God "opened the mouth" of the donkey. In other words, it was a straightforward miracle, like any other miracle performed by God.
Yes, I am curious to see examples of a someone in the OT being regenerated by the Indwelling of Christ.
Yes, I do think that Jeremiah could prophesy without being regenerated by the indwelling of Christ. God spoke to Jeremiah and Jeremiah spoke what God said. If a person cannot know truth before being regenerated, then no one would be able to respond to the truth and receive Christ. Jeremiah speaking truth once or 1000 times is not proof of regeneration. To the contrary Christ said that the Holy Spirit could not come until HE left. This "coming" was new.
I noticed you kinda re-worded it....but here are several verses.
Where did that "nature" come from (however you want to define it), if not as a consequence of the fall of Adam?
like I said Christ in you(dwelling) is not the same as God speaking through a vessel of His choice.
Now I know that you haven't read the book of Jeremiah! Jeremiah didn't just speak "truth once or 1000 times" LOL! Jeremiah was a great prophet who was in constant communion with God, was constantly receiving revelation from God, and every word that he spoke was moved upon and Inspired by the Holy Ghost.
You have now moved the goalposts, from the indwelling of the Holy Ghost to the indwelling of Christ. But to answer your original question, does it have to actually use the word "regenerate," or is it enough for the right signals to be present for it to mean the same thing? How about this verse:
Yes I intentionally reworded it because the indwelling we are talking about is that which regenerates us. I am making the distinction that Jesus made in John 14:17 when Jesus told the disciples that the spirit was with them but would be in them.
I do not see this as a goalpost move. The NT refers to both as the same, being indwelt by Christ is the same as being indwelt by the Spirit. It regenerates us. And no, I do not need to see the word "regeneration" but I need to see word that means new life.
what did it mean when God breathed into adam and he became a living soul ?
