Not sure the disparaging comment was necessary but nonetheless I may not be clearly defining my meaning. The function of the Holy Spirit was clearly different during the Old Testament than it is during this “dispensation of Grace”. Yes indeed, the Holy Spirit did work through selected individuals for periods of time in the Old Testament. In the New Testament He indwells ALL believers permanently. Yes I realize that is not what my original words conveyed now that I look back at them and I apologize. The premise still holds. His work is different in individual believers during this age than it was then.
But which was not what you said . "Pleas show the Old Testament scripture that shows the Holy Spirit dwelling within those OT believers as opposed to just speaking to them."
Yes indeed, the Holy Spirit did work through selected individuals for periods of time in the Old Testament.
Not simply "did work through," but was in selected individuals.
In the New Testament He indwells ALL believers permanently.
Which is the distinction that i made, "in the general sense that that the Holy Spirit was not poured out upon all believers."
Yes I realize that is not what my original words conveyed now that I look back at them and I apologize. The premise still holds. His work is different in individual believers during this age than it was then.
It is different, besides in scope of possessors, as the writers of Holy Writ had unknown content of Scripture provided directly thru them, while the Holy Spirit brings to remembrance what the Lord taught for believers today, besides leading and subjectively speaking to them as subject to Scripture, which perhaps even the most fundamental Baptist hopes will happen - during the offering at least!
