True Christians Receive the
Spirit:
The Christian's Body is a Temple of God & the Holy
Spirit
"Do
you not know that you are a temple of God, and that
the Spirit of God dwells in you? If any man
destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him,
for the temple of God is holy, and that is what you
are." 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 (written to Christians -
NAS)
"But the one who joins himself
to the Lord is one spirit with Him. Flee immorality.
Every other sin that a man commits is outside the
body, but the immoral man sins against his own body.
Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the
Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God,
and that you are not your own? For you have
been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in
your body." 1 Corinthians 6:17-20 (written to
Christians - NAS)
