Christ
in you is to have
the Spirit of Christ - IN YOU.
To be - IN CHRIST – is to be in A PLACE. This place is the THE SPIRITUAL BODY OF CHRIST. A body that holds those who are Baptised
with Holy Spirit and have been Baptised into or placed into the right place in
the Body by God The Father.
1.
To
have the Spirit of Christ IN YOU – in your spirit, is NOT THE SAME as being IN
CHRIST.
2.
It
is ONLY IN CHRIST that one can say with
truth that they are a NEW CREATION because they have been born again of GOD’S
SPIRIT.
3.
It
is a MUST to first have Christ by his Spirit in your spirit in order to
be Baptised with Holy Spirit by him and then to be Baptised by God the Father
INTO THE SPIRITUAL BODY OF CHRIST.
Colossians
1: 27 then 28 Matthew 3: 11-12 1 Corinthians 12: 13-18
The
Fundamental Evangelicals have taught that to have Christ in you, so gained by
coming to the cross, believing Jesus is their sacrifice for their sin, that
they now have God in them. That this
reconciles/achieves a complete work by this belief and therefore the Baptism
with Holy Spirit by Christ is just a subsequent event, even to say that The
Baptism with Holy Spirit is not necessary for Salvation.
It would
appear that they believe they are born again by their initial coming to the
cross. They are believing that they are
born again without the Baptism with Holy Spirit which is the most
important element of being Born Again.
The
Spirit of God who is the Living Spirit Water by which is the spiritual
birth, without which one will not see The Kingdom of God and so will NOT ENTER
THE ETERNAL KINGDOM OF GOD.
For now
without the Baptism with Holy Spirit they will not be In Christ nor know
God’s Spirit over, through and in them.
John 3:
3-8 John 7: 37-39 John 1: 29-33 Acts 2: 31-36
Ephesians 4: 5-6
By ignoring
the Baptism with Holy Spirit they are ignoring the work of Jesus as Christ
and Lord; an appointed work given to him by God, to do upon those who have
repented, are redeemed and who have Christ in them by believing initially in
Jesus as their Saviour.
Acts 2:
31-36 Galatians 3: 14 Acts 20: 21
By
believing in Jesus as their Lamb they have past sins forgiven, not all sins.
Romans 3:
25 NOT Colossians 2: 9-13
Christ’s
righteousness covering them but
they are not given God’s righteousness.
Romans
4:7 NOT 4: 8 Romans 3:
21-22 Philippians 3: 9 Romans 8: 10 NOT 11
They are in Christ’s Kingdom but NOT The Kingdom
of Heaven.
Colossians
1: 13-14 Matthew 13: 37-42 Ephesians 2: 6 Matthew 13: 47-50
They have received
gifts for ministry from Christ,
but NOT GOD’S SPIRITUAL GIFTS
from God. Both are supposed to WORK TOGETHER.
Ephesians
4: 7-11 1 Corinthians 12: 3-11 1 Corinthians 12: 27-31
They have
been delivered from The Lake of Fire,
BUT NOT from the possibility of Outer Darkness or the Fiery Furnace. They have been delivered from the
DOMINION of darkness of the Death Realm, which all men live in but
NOT FROM THE DEATH REALM itself.
Colossians 1: 13-14
Romans 8: 10 Matthew 13:
37-42
This
is why Jesus said, that those who fail to be Baptised are condemned, because when one comes to Baptism with Holy
Spirit, believing for Christ to do this, they will be subjected to a strong
SPIRITUAL, INSTANTANEOUS, PROCESS.
THIS
POWERFUL, SPIRITUAL, INSTANTANEOUS PROCESS WILL SEE THE PERSON SPIRITUALLY
DYING, BAPTISED INTO DEATH, RAISED OUT OF IT BY GOD THE FATHER AND THEN
BAPTISED WITH HOLY SPIRIT BY CHRIST, BECAUSE THE BODY OF SIN HAS BEEN DEALT
WITH BY THE INSTANTANEOUS SPIRITUAL PROCESS BY WHICH WE ARE RAISED OUT OF DEATH
AND ENTER LIFE.
Those
with Christ in them are in the position of being condemned but those who are In
Christ because of Baptism with Holy Spirit; they are under NO CONDEMNATION, as they
have known Spiritual Circumcision from Death into Life and Light itself.
They have received the Praise of God.
He has testified by His Spirit through the believer ‘Jesus is Lord’.
Mark 16:
14-16 John 14: 13-17 Matthew 3: 11-12 Galatians 2: 20 Romans 6: 3-14
Colossians 2: 9-13 (note how to
be In Christ). Romans 2: 29 Romans 8: 1-2
John 15:
26 1 Corinthians 12: 3 Romans 10: 9
To have
Christ’s Spirit in you makes your spirit alive by his presence and his
righteousness. BUT NOTE that your body is DEAD BECAUSE OF SIN.
Romans 8:10
The Body
of Sin must be dealt with. It is
not dealt with when one comes to the cross from out of the unbelieving
world. Adams sin must be dealt with
FIRST, and then it is for the believer to die in submission to the One True God
and have faith in His Son, Jesus Christ.
One is to die and to obey Christ’s commands, which are: to love one another, to forgive one another
and to be Baptised with Holy Spirit.
John
14:15 John 13: 34 John 15: 12-15 Acts
1:4-5
When one
comes to ask Christ, who lives in them to Baptise with Holy Spirit, it is the
going on in faith and submission to the WAY, to the Father. It is also the only Way to know that one is
out of Death and in Life: BORN AGAIN BY
GOD’S SPIRIT into which we are Baptised by Christ.
The ONLY
WAY for this to occur is through the INSTANTANEOUS SPIRITUAL PROCESS
which is described in Romans 6: 3-14,
Colossians 2: 3-14.
By
this work the Body of Sin is dealt with.
Romans 6: 6. This is in order for the believer to
know The presence of God The Father in them, through them and over them, making
their mortal bodies ALIVE, in
order to be Born Again by The SPIRITUAL LIVING WATER which is THE SPIRIT OF
GOD THE FATHER.
Romans 8:
11 Ephesians 4: 5-6 John 3: 3-8 John 7: 37-39 Acts 2:
4 Acts 2: 31-36
One must have Romans 8: 10 to gain 8: 11 to say Romans 8: 9a, all of which is to deal
with Romans 8: 10a BY Romans 6: 6.
Romans
8: 10 But if Christ is in you, your body is
dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness. to gain
Romans 8: 11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you.
to say Romans 8: 9a You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you.
all of which is to deal with Romans 8: 10a But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin,
BY Romans 6:6 For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin—
The Body
of sin must be spiritually circumcised in order to be Baptised with Holy
Spirit, in order to be Baptised into the Spiritual Body of Christ, in order to
be co-heirs with Christ as sons of God.
To be In Christ, the place where God plants those Baptised with Holy
Spirit.
Romans 8: 9-11 Galatians 1: 1 Acts 20: 21 John
14: 13-17 Romans 6: 6 Romans 8: 12-17 Matthew 15: 13 Romans 2: 29
Jeremiah 9: 25.
Those who
have Christ only in them, because of not being Baptised with Holy Spirit, know
him as their MEDIATOR because they have
NOT COME TO THE FATHER, which is God’s intention through the work of His
Son.
By
love and obedience to Christ, The Son of God, those who belong to him because
of not being yet Baptised will hear God’s Will through Christ.
They will NOT hear FROM GOD THE FATHER HIMSELF. They will be hindered until they can know
The Father and know the blessings of the New Covenant and the promises of In
Christ.
The
reason is that only God the Father can be our healer, deliverer, provider,
protector. Only God the Father can
teach Truth and give revelation and most importantly it is only from the Father
that we gain His Will in order to be able to do it, to inherit Eternal Life.
For without hearing ourselves and the doing of God’s Will, WE WILL NOT
INHERIT ETERNAL LIFE.
Romans 8:
26-27 1 Corinthians 2: 10 John 16: 13-15.
It is
only by the power of God’s Spirit that we can be over-comers and therefore
receive the promise to over-comers who hear what The Spirit says to those
who are the church, those who are In Christ.
Revelation
Chap. 2 & 3 John 14: 13-15 Acts 1: 4-5 John 13:
34 Hebrews 8: 10-13 Hebrews 10: 15-18 Romans 8: 12-18
It is essential that
a man is a Son of God, a co-heir with Christ in order to hear and to do God’s
Will: fulfilling our obligations to Him because without this we will not
inherit Eternal Life. Doing God’s Will
is the criteria of gaining Eternal Life.
It is
essential that a believer trusts in
God The Father as God alone and NOT in Jesus as God because it will limit the
Baptised believer to serving in the Temple but they will not be allowed to come
near to God nor His Holy Offering and Things.
Ezekiel
44: 10-14 Ephesians 2: 13-22 Isaiah 22: 20-25 John 17: 3
1
Corinthians 8: 6
The full
work of Jesus as Lamb of God and as Christ and Lord, Baptiser with Holy
Spirit, is what the conditions of God are that a man will not perish if
He believes. John 3:16.
Believe and repent
towards God and have faith in the full work of Christ.
His work
is not partial but must be totally fulfilled in the believer in order to
have the hope to see and to enter The Eternal Kingdom of God.
A partial
work of Christ known by any believer, denies Christ’s work and frustrates
God’s purposes for a mans full salvation.
Eternal Life will be denied.
It is
those that are In Christ who will be raised first to be judged by
Christ, in order that those who do God’s Will, shall inherit and will reign
with Christ for 1,000 years. Those who
believer in the cross only and who do not go on, those in Christ’s Kingdom,
shall be judged by Christ’s angels and finally by God Himself after the 1,000
years.
1 Thess

Revelation
19: 11-16 Revelation 20: 4 &
6 Revelation 20: 5 Matthew 13: 37-42 Revelation 20: 11-12
Those In
Christ will not be raised just to receive their rewards. Only those who have done the Will of the
Father, knowing Him as God alone who shall inherit. The others shall be cast into the Fiery Furnace.
Matthew
7: 21-23 Matthew 13: 47-50
Those
with Christ alone in them, those of Christ’s Kingdom will face the accusation
of being condemned and those who have done evil, Christ’s angels will cast them
into the Fiery Furnace. Others will
receive final judgement from God.
Mark 16:
14-16 Matthew 13: 37-42 Revelation 20: 11-12
To be In Christ is a
work and a place that must be known here and now. It must be taught and preached in order that those not In Christ
will come to be perfected and to know the Living God, our God and Father and Christ
his Son and be in fellowship with them.
I John 1: 3
It is
The Father’s delight that we should be knowing and hearing His Will in all
these areas of our lives, all to the glory of God who planned such a wonderful
salvation.
Colossians
1: 27-28
Warning
is given to those who do not continue in faith and obedience.
WE ARE NEW CREATURES ‘IN CHRIST’
AND NOWHERE ELSE.
By receiving the Spirit of Christ
a person’s spirit is made alive.
They are set free from the DOMINION
OF DARKNESS.
They are set free from the
JUDGEMENT OF HELL.
They are placed in the Kingdom of
Christ and belong to him.
They are covered with Christ’s
Righteousness.
They are qualified to come to God
Himself,
through the other work of Christ
as
Baptiser with Holy Spirit.
They must deal with the Body of
Sin spiritually:
if they would be raised by God and
placed In Christ. Romans 8:10-11
Col 1:27-28 Gal 1:1
WE ARE NEW CREATURES, ‘IN CHRIST’.
We are New Creatures In Christ, which is to be In the Spiritual Body of
believers who have been Baptised with Holy Spirit. 2
Corinthians 5:17
We have been Spiritually Circumcised from the Death Realm and into the
Realm of Life, because we are In The Spirit of God The Father. Ephesians 4: 5-6
This
occurred by The Instantaneous Spiritual Process by the work of The Father and of
the Son.
Romans 2: 29 Romans 6:
3-14 Colossians 2: 9-13
We have gained entrance into The Sanctuaries of The Spiritual Temple, which
is in The Heavenlies, which is why it is said that we sit ‘in the heavenly
places’ as we are in The Kingdom of Heaven.
Ephesians
2: 6 Matthew 13: 47-50 Ephesians 2: 18-22 1 Peter 2: 4-11
We
have come Spiritually to Mt Zion, the Heavenly Jerusalem and the city of The Living
God. This is the place which is
prophetically explained in Ezekiel’s Spiritual Temple.
Hebrews
12: 22-24 Ezekiel 43: 6-12
EZEKIEL’S SPIRITUAL TEMPLE: Chapters 40 – 47,
is a Spiritual Temple where there is the reality of God and of Christ as well
as the earthy reality of those who dwell in it spiritually.
A
very clear picture of progress is seen of the Courts (The Kingdom of Christ) and that how through Christ
(The Prince), one gains entrance into The Sanctuaries. Not by the
blood of sheep or of goats but because of the Son offering of Jesus as God’s
Lamb, the believer can enter right into The Sanctuaries, into the very Throne
Room of The Father with the Son on his right hand.
The believer is to become a ‘Living Sacrifice’ to be crucified
spiritually with Christ and to be raised up and placed in Life by The
Father. The description of Romans 6:
3-14 compliments the Truth of Ezekiel’s Temple and the process described in
Ezekiel.
Romans
12: 1 Galatians 1:1 Ezekiel 44: 5 Ezekiel 43: 10-12
Ezekiel
40: 1-4 tells us how someone like The son of Man revealed the Temple to
Ezekiel, and how important it was that he looked with his eyes, heard with his
ears and paid attention to everything he was told and all that he was to
see. This is what we are to do.
There are the Courts, Outer and Inner;
there are The Sanctuaries, Outer and Inner.
The unbaptised are confined to the Outer Court until they would come up
to the Inner Court in order to gain entrance into the Sanctuaries.
Ezekiel 41: 15-26 Here we see into
The Spiritual Sanctuaries. Their walls
are covered in wood.
The walls of the Tabernacle were linen. The walls of Solomon’s Temple were stone, lined with wood,
covered with gold. Great ornamentation of precious metal in
both of them; yet the way was closed to God’s presence except to an appointed
Priest and with stringent stipulations and regulations. The walls are wood in the Spiritual Temple,
into which we have come. No gold, no
bronze, nothing more needed because we are in the presence of GOD The Father,
in His Spirit, the Gold is to be our obedience to Him.
Only in the Sanctuaries do we see carvings of cherubim with the face of
a man and a lion, which speaks of the person of Christ and his progressive
positions from the Angel of the Lord to man to King. This
speaks of the full work of Christ, which those in the Sanctuaries must know in
order to have gained entrance to the Sanctuaries.
There is a table that was an altar and is said to be the table before
The Lord.
There are neither utensils nor accessories as in The Tabernacle and
Solomon’s Temple.
Just a table, which speaks of fellowship, which speaks of a
satisfactory relationship between The Father and the believer: an established
relationship.
Ezekiel
41: 1-7 Here we see all around the
Temple, rooms which represent the believer’s place in the Sanctuaries. These rooms gain in width as they ascend
which is to speak of growth in the knowledge of God and His Son. As the Palm trees are carved in great
profusion in the Sanctuaries they represent the fact that all who gain
revelation shall gain it from God Himself as every frond on the tree grows from
the very centre. This is the only way
in which we shall grow and expand in Spiritual Understanding.
John
16: 13-15 1 Corinthians 2: 9-10 Ephesians 1:17
Ezekiel
43: 5-6 Now we come outside The
Sanctuaries, to the Inner Court.
Ezekiel in the Inner Court outside the Sanctuary hears a voice from within
the Sanctuary. Read 43: 7-12**
It is clear that God’s Throne is in the Sanctuaries and that Christ
sits at His right Hand.
God
gives strong words to Ezekiel for all who are in the Sanctuaries.
REVILE
ALL IDOLS Do not make any
other way to The Father, setting up a way as it were next to Him, believing
that any other way is satisfactory. Twice the Exits
and the Entrances are amplified, along side the fact that those who serve Idols may serve
in The Temple but never serve The Father Himself or His Holy Offerings and
Things.
Chapter 44: 10-14.
Any continual trust in any other as God is blasphemy in His sight. Isaiah 22: 20-25
Ezekiel
43: 13. We are still Outside, in the
Inner Court. Read from verse 21 which
is the place where a believer is to know the work of The Instantaneous
Spiritual Process and then the Baptism with Holy Spirit and Fire.
We are still at the Gate/Door outside the Outer Sanctuary. Ezekiel 44: 1 This
is where the Prince sits and no one can enter through the Gate/Door into the
Sanctuaries except with him. Ezekiel
44: 4
It
is the Romans 6: 3-14 and Colossians 2: 19 work that gives entrance through
Christ who is the Door/Gateway to The Father who dwells in the Sanctuaries.
Note the warnings of Ezekiel 44: 5-16.
Note MY TABLE that is God’s, is a place of Fellowship. When we come to be Baptised with Holy Spirit and Fire, we
came to the Prince, as living sacrifices, we were raised up and Baptised with
Holy Spirit and Fire and given entrance into The Sanctuaries.
John
14: 13-23 Acts 2: 31-36 John 1: 29-33 John 14: 6 Mark 16:
16-18
We are to go with him through into The Inner Sanctuary to the Mountain
of God.
This is why the writer of The Hebrews said that ‘we have come’ to The
Mountain, in order to fulfil the Law of The Temple. WE MUST COME TO IT. This
can only be accomplished by those In Christ, who worship the Father as God
alone and believe in His Son whom we are to be like and to do the Father’s Will
in order to inherit Eternal Life.
Matthew 7: 21-23 2
Corinthians 2: 14-17
