Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of
water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is
spirit.
Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. (John 3:3-7)
SANCTIFIES:
The Holy Spirit takes this life which has been changed by salvation and enables righteous living:
But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren, beloved of
the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation
through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth...
(II Thessalonians 2:13)
BAPTIZES:
Chapter Four of this manual deals with this experience of baptism in the Holy Spirit:
And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost and began to speak in other
tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. (Acts 2:4)
DWELLS WITHIN:
The purpose of this indwelling is to strengthen the new nature received through salvation:
What! Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is
in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
(I Corinthians 6:19)
Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God
dwelleth in you? (I Corinthians 3:16)
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things are passed
away; behold all things are become new. (II Corinthians 5:17)
This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and
these are contrary the one to the other; so that ye cannot do the things that ye
would.
