Thank you, .30carbine. Frankly I don't know who Derek Prince is. What I am getting from your statement "Gifts can be given, but until they are received they are of no consequence" is in reference to Christ
receiving the Spirit at His baptism.
Father, Son and the Holy Spirit are eternally connected. There is no time when the Word, in Flesh or not, receives the Spirit.
Christ's baptism, by the way, is another issue. He Who was without sin had nothing to repent for. That whole section treats Christ as man and not God and Man in one Person.
Thank you for the reply. Really, I was thinking of us humans. The conundrum of Christ Jesus as Fully God
and Fully Man is one my little brain can't handle a discussion on right now, but maybe another day, FRiend. (:
Y'all keep up the good work, and God bless.
