Real Christians - The Communion Of The Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians 13:14)

---

A Real Christian Has God Living Inside Them

---

Romans 8:9 Living Bible

⁹ ... You are controlled by your new nature if you have the Spirit of God living in you. (And remember that if anyone doesn’t have the Spirit of Christ living in him, he is not a Christian at all.)

---

There are believers and there are born again believers. The Holy Spirit makes us born again with a new heart and a new spirit through faith in Jesus. When the Holy Spirit makes you born again through faith in Jesus, He takes up residence inside your body. This is what it means to know God. God knows those that He lives inside of.

I said all that to say that today, most believers in Jesus don't know God. They believe in Jesus, read the Bible all the time, go to church and evangelize. But they don't know that Christianity isn't about those things. It's about the baptism into the Holy Spirit. Romans 8:9 says that if you do not have the Holy Spirit inside you, that are not a real Christian and that you do not belong to God. Implied, this means that God doesn't know you if you are not baptized into the Holy Spirit.

People that don't have the Holy Spirit inside them; who are not baptized into the Holy Spirit through faith in Jesus, worship the Bible because it is God's word. It is the only god they know because they don't have God living inside them to teach them His word. The Bible gets us to the Holy Spirit through faith in Jesus, but after that, you don't need the Bible like you did before you got saved if you have the Lord inside you. He will teach you all truth and talk to you from within when you're baptized into the Holy Spirit like He spoke to the first church throughout the book of Acts (see 1 John 2:20-27). For example, Acts 13:2.

You see Christians all over the world talking about growing in faith in Jesus and in Bible study. None of that means anything without the Holy Spirit living inside you. The Holy Spirit uses all that to conform you to Jesus' image. Without Him, all your bible studies, church attendance and belief in Jesus don't mean anything because you are a false prophet who doesn't know the truth and thus, you'll believe anything that other believers say because you do not have the witness inside you.

In Matthew 7:13-27 Jesus talks about false prophets saying that, like most believers today, they call Jesus Lord and attend services, but they are outside of God's presence and do not know God. When you've received the Holy Spirit baptism, He witnesses about you and no one can lie to you because you have Him inside you teaching you. But unregenerate believers, or believers who have not been baptized by Jesus into the Holy Spirit, do have the Lord inside them as evidence of truth, so they believe what other believers and false prophets say, because without the Holy Spirit inside you teaching you with words, you will not know what truth is and will believe anyone and anything.

Once you receive the baptism into the Holy Spirit, you have the truth inside you, and you know all things. Without the Lord inside you, you don't know what truth is and you believe anything that others say to you about God. Spirit filled Christians know what I mean, how that they know things that their minds don't know about. Truth comes out of them to their surprise because it is the Lord preaching inside us (see Luke 21:15).

Ask God the Father to Give You the Holy Spirit

There are genuine believers out there reading this post who have not yet met the Lord in the Spirit's baptism. God has not rejected you. All you have to do is ask God for the Holy Spirit to live inside you, according to Jesus in Luke 11:5-13. You believe, but you have been taught wrong by people who do not have the Spirit inside them, so you don't know how to receive the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit Will Do His Job and Fall Upon Those Who Believe the Gospel

If you haven't been taught the Gospel, it is recorded in the Bible in 1 Corinthians 15:1-8.

1 Corinthians 15:1-8 Modern English Version {Paraphrased}

The Gospel of Christ

1 Now, brothers, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which you have received, and in which you stand.

² Through it you are saved, if you keep in memory what I preached to you, unless you have believed in vain.

³ For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: how Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,

⁴ was buried, rose again the third day according to the Scriptures,

⁵ and was seen by Cephas, and then by the twelve.

⁶ Then He was seen by over five hundred brothers at once, of whom the greater part remain to this present time, though some have passed away.

⁷ Then He was seen by James and then by all the apostles.

⁸ Last of all, He was seen by me also, as by one born at the wrong time.

According to Acts 2:38, 39, if you believe the Gospel, or have faith in Jesus, the Holy Spirit will fall upon you. To believe in Jesus means to believe the Gospel because the Gospel is about Jesus.

Acts 2:38-39 Modern English Version {Paraphrased}

³⁸ Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

³⁹ For the promise {of the Spirit - see Acts 1:1-8} is to you, and to your children, and to all who are far away, as many as the Lord our God will call.”

Born Again by the Holy Spirit Through Faith in Jesus

The Holy Spirit makes you born again when He falls upon you. Thus, to be born again means to be baptized into the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will fall upon you in His time and in His way through faith in Jesus, which is created by hearing and reading what the Bible says about Him (see Romans 10:17).

John 3:1-21 Living Bible

Born Again by the Holy Spirit

^1-2 After dark one night a Jewish religious leader named Nicodemus, a member of the sect of the Pharisees, came for an interview with Jesus. “Sir,” he said, “we all know that God has sent you to teach us. Your miracles are proof enough of this.”

³ Jesus replied, “With all the earnestness I possess I tell you this: Unless you are born again, you can never get into the Kingdom of God.”

⁴ “Born again!” exclaimed Nicodemus. “What do you mean? How can an old man go back into his mother’s womb and be born again?”

⁵ Jesus replied, “What I am telling you so earnestly is this: “Physical birth is not enough. You must be born spiritually. Unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God.

⁶ Men can only reproduce human life, but the Holy Spirit gives new life from heaven;

⁷ so don’t be surprised at my statement that you must be born again!

⁸ Just as you can hear the wind but can’t tell where it comes from or where it will go next, so it is with the Spirit. We do not know on whom he will next bestow this life from heaven.”

Through Faith in Jesus

⁹ “What do you mean?” Nicodemus asked.

^10-11 Jesus replied, “You, a respected Jewish teacher, and yet you don’t understand these things? I am telling you what I know and have seen—and yet you won’t believe me.

¹² But if you don’t even believe me when I tell you about such things as these that happen here among men, how can you possibly believe if I tell you what is going on in heaven?

¹³ For only I, the Messiah, have come to earth and will return to heaven again.

¹⁴ And as Moses in the wilderness lifted up the bronze image of a serpent on a pole, even so I must be lifted up upon a pole,

¹⁵ so that anyone who believes in me will have eternal life.

¹⁶ For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son so that anyone who believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

¹⁷ God did not send his Son into the world to condemn it, but to save it.

¹⁸ “There is no eternal doom awaiting those who trust him to save them. But those who don’t trust him have already been tried and condemned for not believing in the only Son of God. ¹⁹ Their sentence is based on this fact: that the Light from heaven came into the world, but they loved the darkness more than the Light, for their deeds were evil.

²⁰ They hated the heavenly Light because they wanted to sin in the darkness. They stayed away from that Light for fear their sins would be exposed and they would be punished.

²¹ But those doing right come gladly to the Light to let everyone see that they are doing what God wants them to.”

Faith In Jesus Brings the Holy Spirit to Meet You in the Baptism into the Holy Spirit

The above Bible passages are the only and the correct way to meet the Holy Spirit and get baptized into the Holy Spirit. If you've never been taught about the Holy Spirit, allow me to introduce Him to you through faith in Jesus:

(Excerpt taken from my message, "Receive the Holy Spirit")

A Chance from the Holy Spirit to Get Ready to Meet Jesus on His Time

Jesus Will Not Leave You Behind if You Follow the Instructions Below

2 Corinthians 6:1-2 Contemporary English Version

1 We work together with God, and we beg you to make good use of God's gift of undeserved grace.

²  In the Scriptures God says,

“When the time came, I listened to you, and when you needed help, I came to save you.”

That time has come. This is the day for you to be saved.

Hello,

There are people out there reading this post that want to repent and be ready to meet Jesus when He comes back. Not everyone who reads this will be left by Jesus just because they're looking at their watches, instead of at Jesus in the word.

Jesus has not returned yet, and there is still time to repent to be ready for Jesus on His time.

Do You Believe in Jesus?

1 Corinthians 15:1-11 Modern English Version {Paraphrased}

The Resurrection of Christ

1 Now, brothers, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which you have received, and in which you stand.

² Through it you are saved, if you keep in memory what I preached to you, unless you have believed in vain.

³ For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: how Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,

⁴ was buried, rose again the third day according to the Scriptures,

⁵ and was seen by Cephas {the apostle Peter}, and then by the twelve {all 12 apostles}.

⁶ Then He was seen by over five hundred {Christian} brothers at once, of whom the greater part remain to this present time, though some have passed away.

⁷ Then He was seen by James and then by all the apostles.

⁸ Last of all, He was seen by me also {the 13th apostle of Christ, the apostle Paul}, as by one born at the wrong time.

⁹ For I am the least of the apostles and am not fit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

¹⁰ But by the grace of God I am what I am. And His grace toward me was not in vain. I labored more abundantly than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

¹¹ Therefore, whether it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.

Do you believe in Jesus? According to 1 Cor. 15:1-11, do you believe that Jesus died for our sins according to the scriptures - v. 3? ... do you believe that Jesus was buried and rose from the dead the third day according to the scriptures - v. 4? ... do you believe that Jesus was seen alive by the first church and all of its apostles - vv. 5-8? ... that's the gospel ...

Now that you've heard the gospel, I'm taking you to a page from my website for prayers for salvation and baptism into the Holy Spirit ... read and may the Holy Spirit come upon you today and give you Christ's victory over the flesh to obey God and go to heaven for it ...

John 11:25-26 Authorized (King James) Version {Pegram Evangelistic Paraphrase}

25 Jesus {says to you},

"I Am

the resurrection,

and the life:

he that {believes} in Me,

though he were dead,

yet shall he live:

26 and whosoever {is alive} and {believes} in Me shall never die.

{Do you believe} this"?

...

"Lord, I believe ...

You Do the Loving

I Do the Dying ...

(Romans 6)

The Sinner's Prayer

The Confession of the Word of Faith in Christ

Romans 10:6-17 Authorized (King James) Version {Paraphrased}

God's Saving & Healing Power in the Bible

The Word of Faith & Salvation

6 But the {right standing with God} which {comes from biblically created faith}

speaks {in this way in the Bible about how to get saved through faith in Jesus from sin & death},

"Say not in {your} heart, 'Who shall ascend into heaven'"? {Dt. 30:12}

(that is, to bring Jesus down from above).

7 or, "Who shall descend into the deep?" {Dt. 30:13} (that is, to bring up Jesus again from the dead).

8 But what {does} it {say}?

"The word is {near you}. {It is in your} mouth, and in {your} heart

{from hearing the scriptures - Pr. 4:20-27}.

That is, the word of faith {in Jesus}, which we preach.

9 That if you shall confess with {your} mouth the Lord Jesus

{to confess the Lord Jesus means to say that you believe that Jesus died for your sins}

and shall believe in {your} heart that God has raised Him from the dead,

you shall be saved {from sin & death}.

10 For with the heart man believes {the scriptures about Jesus giving him right standing before God}

and with the mouth confession {of these scriptures about Jesus}

is made giving him God's salvation from sin & death through faith in Jesus}.

11 For the scripture {says},

"Whoever believes on {Jesus the Son of God} shall not be ashamed" {Isa. 28:16}.

12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek {or any other Gentile nation}.

For the same Lord {Jesus} over all is rich {in faith & salvation} to all that call upon Him

{for salvation through the scriptures}.

13 "For whosoever shall call upon the Name of the Lord {Jesus}

shall be saved {from sin & death - Joel 2:32}.

14 How then shall they call on {Jesus for salvation from sin & death} if {they do not believe in Him}?

And how shall they believe in {Jesus if} they have not {first} heard about Him?

And how shall they hear without a preacher {telling them what the scriptures say about Jesus}?

15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent {by God to do this}?

As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace

{with God through faith in His Son Jesus}

and bring glad tidings of good things"! {Isa. 52:7}

16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel.

For {Isaiah says in Isaiah 53:1}, "Lord, who has believed our report

{in the Old Testament prophecies that Your Son Jesus is the Messiah

and the long-awaited Savior from sin & death"?

17 So then faith {in Christ as the Lord & Savior from sin & death}

comes by hearing, and hearing by {what} the word of God {the Bible prophecies say about Him

{To get faith to call upon the Lord Jesus for salvation from sin & death,

listen to what God's preachers tell you about Jesus & read what the Bible says about Him}.

What the Holy Spirit is saying in this passage is that to get saved, you need to do verses 9 and 10 highlighted in bold case above. That is, confess with your mouth the scriptures about Jesus being the Lord of sin and death because you believe them, and you will be saved from sin and death by that faith in Jesus that came from your mouth from what the Bible says about Him dying and rising from the dead for our sins.

The Holy Spirit is telling us in this passage that if you want to believe in Jesus and be saved from sin and death, then read what the Bible says about Him, because faith in Jesus comes, or is created in your heart and mouth, when you read the Bible. Read what the Bible says about the Lord Jesus in the New Testament, and you will be saved when you tell God and this world that you believe what the Bible says about Jesus.

To do this is called the Confession of the Word of Faith in Christ, and the Sinner's Prayer. Let me lead you in the Sinner's Prayer.

The Sinner's Prayer

The Confession of the Word of Faith in Christ the Lord

"Lord Jesus. I believe in You. I believe that you died for my sins and rose from the dead

and that you are alive today right here with me now as I tell you that I believe in You.

Please forgive me of my sins through my faith in your shed Blood on the Cross,

and please raise me from the dead by my faith in Your resurrection.

Thank you, Lord Jesus, for saving me from sin and death.

In Your Name, Jesus, I pray.

Amen".

Get your dusty Bible out and read John, Acts and Romans in the New Testament while you listen to the Playlist below...and know that the tears that flood your eyes when you pray the Sinner's Prayer are coming from the Presence of God. That's God the Holy Spirit you're sensing and that's why you're crying as you pray this prayer ... God is love (1 Jn. 4:7, 8) and when you meet Him, you can't but cry around Him. It's called "godly sorrow" (2 Cor. 7:9-11).

Now, I want to use my anointing & authority in Christ to baptize you into the Holy Spirit, because the Holy Spirit is Heaven's guarantee. There are believers, and there are born again believers (Acts 19:1-6).

Please pray this prayer below and you will meet God the Holy Spirit instantly, and get born-again ...

The Holy Spirit Is Heaven's Guarantee​

Ephesians 1:13, 14 Living Bible

¹³ And because of what Christ did, all you others too, who heard the Good News about how to be saved, and trusted Christ, were marked as belonging to Christ by the Holy Spirit, who long ago had been promised to all of us Christians.

¹⁴ His presence within us is God’s guarantee that he really will give us all that he promised; and the Spirit’s seal upon us means that God has already purchased us and that he guarantees to bring us to himself. This is just one more reason for us to praise our glorious God.

​
