The Holy Spirit does not literally indwell Christians; He “dwells” through His Word, owning, guiding, and shaping believers and the church by Scripture alone.
How Are We to Understand the Indwelling of the Holy Spirit?
The Holy Spirit and Christians
The Holy Spirit does not indwell Christians mystically but works through Scripture alone to convert, sanctify, assure, and guide all who obey the Word.
The Holy Spirit and the World
The Holy Spirit now convicts and calls the world only through Scripture, not by indwelling or direct tests, using the Word to convert, sanctify, and assure.
The Holy Spirit and the Apostolic Church
The Holy Spirit worked uniquely in the apostolic church to found Christianity and complete Scripture; today He leads solely through that finished, inspired Word.
