Johnson clarifies indwelling and infilling, two actions of the Holy Spirit I addressed in Chapter Four of my second book, The Boundless Love of God: A Holy Spirit Story.
“Indwelling refers to the Holy Spiri’s residence in the life of a believer upon their confession of faith. When we are saved, the Holy Spirit moves in!
“Ephesians 3:16-17 ‘I pray that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.’
“Infilling refers to a secondary act in which the Holy Spirit ‘baptizes’ or ‘fills’ the life of a person AFTER confession of faith. When you receive salvation, God then invites you into a deeper experience with His Holy Spirit!
“Acts 2:4 ‘All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.’”
In my books and blogs I have endeavored to present in compelling manner that the redemptive, sin sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross of crucifixion restored to repentant believers the indwelling of the Holy Spirit so that we can be in two-way communion with God’s Spirit that was lost by the Fall. The Holy Spirit was sent as promised by the resurrected, living Jesus Christ. Our minds are restored to an intimate, personal communion with the Mind of God.
