The Spirit received

Fee addresses what it means to receive the Holy Spirit:

“Believers have received the Spirit (1 Cor 2:12; 2 Cor 11:4), been saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit (2 Thess 2:13; Rom 15:16), been circumcised in their hearts by the Spirit [their minds renewed] (Rom 2:29), and been joined to Christ so as to become one S/spirit with him (1 Cor 6:17).”
