Hi Alamo-Girl, But there is a difference between grieving the Spirit and "resisting". When we sin, we grieve the Spirit in us. After all, you are making Him not so much partake perhaps, but He is present, in your sin. Christians need to think about this and consider it.

Perhaps we ought to just drop this and accept one another as siblings in Christ, a little different but what the heck!

This may be no more than a semantics thing, i.e. grieving the Spirit is the result of resisting Him in my word usage whereas to you the cut is evidently between salvation [irresistible drawing of the elect] and sinning [nature of man to grieve the Spirit through sin.]

Scripture indicates that The Spirit is subject to the prophet in terms of what flows through the prophet.

Resisting the gentlemanly Holy Spirit is not difficult, usually. Thankfully and sadly.
