I include this important excerpt from Dr. pinkham’s book that speaks to the giving of the holy spirit by jesus christ:
“christ is lord, redeemer, and head of the church. without the holy spirit’s involvement, however, the church does not reflect christ’s own ministry as giver of the spirit. just as jesus himself functioned by the holy spirit, he makes the way for his followers to do the same. without the dependency upon the holy spirit, the church is not only lame and ineffective, but also lacking in genuine christlikeness. christ’s witnesses should be characterized by the power of the spirit.”
again, i share that my writings have provided compelling evidence for dualist interaction between the immateriAL HOLY SPIRIT AND THE IMMATERIAL HUMAN SPIRIT AND SOUL MADE POSSIBLE BY GOD’S CREATED MATERIAL SYNAPTIC NETWORKS THAT TRANSMIT SPECIFIED INFORMATION WITHIN NEURAL CODES INTERPRETED BY THE HUMAN MIND. GOD’S PLAN WAS AND IS TO HAVE A PERSONAL, INTIMATE COMMUNION WITH HIS HUMAN CREATIONS VIA THE INDWELLING HOLY SPIRIT.
