You cannot live righteously without the Spirit indwelling...You cannot live one day righteously without the Spirit of God...that's why you need a Savior, need His Atonement, His redeeming work. You cannot reject that Atonement and live in such a way as to be righteous before a Holy God.

Amen!

If you refuse to accept Christ, there is no other Salvation because only by the wooing of the Holy Spirit can you have the opportunity to accept or refuse Christ, thus if you refuse that which the Holy Spirit brings to your soul you have committed the unpardonable sin of rejecting God's Salvation.

We reformed take that a step further and believe only those who are "wooed" or called by Christ are enabled to receive the Holy Spirit, according to the will of God as Scripture tells us...

"Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee" -- Psalm 65:4
