As I highlighted when talking about Rapture and considering as axioms According to Christ's words, for 5/6 of the Bible, no one had the Holy Spirit dwelling within them: it simply hadn't been given to them yet!
When someone suggests reproducing ritualistic behaviors learned from Old Testament characters, there is a very high probability that they are—despite their supposedly good intentions—disregarding the supreme and definitive sacrifice made by the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary.
As I support in my study on the anointing with oil, Any "additional sacrifice" or attempt at sanctification through external elements implies that what the Lord performed was insufficient!
The Problem of External Marks and Insufficient Oil
A good example is found in those who claim it is necessary to mark objects or creatures through the popular "anointing with oil," transforming olive oil into a kind of "evangelical holy water.".
In doing so, they completely disregard the role of the True Holy Spirit, which is the only legitimate sign of faith left to true Christians.
Those who need symbols and amulets certainly do not believe in the infinite and invisible power of the Lord God, preferring the shadow of the law to the reality of the New Covenant.
The Spiritual “Spectrometer”: How to Discern the Fruit of the Seal
Because the time has not yet come for what is revealed in Revelation 9:4, We do not have visual access to the spiritual "hardware" to know who bears the divine seal. In the current state, no one can attest, through mystical vision, to who truly possesses the Holy Spirit and who are the emulators who—even without having it—act in various controversial ways and still hasten to say that their actions cannot be judged.
It would truly be necessary to have some method to identify the Seal of the Holy Spirit—like a “spiritual spectrometer” or something similar—that could allow us, through a list revealed in Galatians 5:22-23, to attest to the fact that one has living waters flowing from within.
However, if we cannot see the invisible seal, the Lord has given us the manual to analyze it. “output” Regarding the system: by knowing and applying the perfect biblical references, we can identify and discard, without much difficulty, many scoundrels who never even came close to being inhabited by the True Holy Spirit.
Before, they are nothing more than energyrgumenos Completely possessed by legions of demons, operating under a mask of religiosity!
Want to know?
Do not judge by appearances,
But judge according to righteous judgment.
The Pledge of Salvation: Why is God's Possession Irrevocable?
Starting with those chronically ignorant of the Bible, who begin their politically correct speeches with the classic “do not judge”"(and, through this, categorically attest to the absolute ignorance of what should be the root of their faith), those who deny or distort the Word of God to suit their own convenience are the first whom we must judge based on it: righteous justice!"
We are not going to talk specifically about those avid sin-eaters today, but rather about somewhat more sordid types who are unaware of, disregard, or conceal the true weight of the Holy Spirit as a seal and guarantee. Observe what the Scriptures say:
But it is God who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us,
He also sealed us and gave us the pledge of the Spirit in our hearts.
For we who are in this tabernacle groan, being burdened;
not because we want to be undressed, but clothed,
so that the mortal may be absorbed by life.
Now, it is God who has prepared us for this very purpose.,
which also gave us pledge of the Spirit.
In whom you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation;
And having believed in him, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise;
Which is the pledge of our inheritance,
for redemption of the acquired possession,
to the praise of his glory.
Do you know the legal meaning of the word "pledge"?
Do you understand the weight and implications of when something is pawned?
The dictionary explains:
Pledge (masculine noun):
▶ Guarantee; that which ensures the fulfillment of a duty or obligation.
▶ [Legal] Delivery of real estate, or movable property, as security for the payment of a debt, obligation, or loan; action or word that fulfills this purpose.
▶ Deposit; what is offered as a guarantee.
It is necessary to understand this very serious concept: when something is pledged, it belongs to the creditor as collateral until the debt is paid off. If for us, fallible human beings, a pledge has this weight, imagine how much the Lord God himself will honor the Pledge of Salvation that He himself established!?!
The highlighted passage from Ephesians is even more emphatic than the first two, in clarifying that the Holy Spirit is the GUARANTEE OF OUR HERITAGE, namely, the very SALVATION!
Then I'm reminded of all the times I've been confronted by individuals (usually leaders) wanting to preach that salvation could be lost at any moment and, because of that, enslave people through doctrines bordering on paranoia…
The point here is not to point out who is saved and who is not: far from it!
The simple fact is that whoever has received salvation through the True Holy Spirit can never lose it!
But there are those who did not believe by hearing and have to spend a good part of their lives acting, emulating the actions of the Spirit, trying to convince other people about their intimacy with the supernatural — because this is a demonstration of power and an attempt to dominate those who allow themselves to fall victim to deception — and protecting themselves behind a supposed "spiritual authority" whose mere questioning is already called a sin!
In fact, these people also cannot lose their salvation, but probably because they never even came close to receiving it!
Unfortunately, this is the arrogance that such people transmit to those who follow them…
And it is these followers — also completely devoid of the Spirit — who go around opening ecclesiastical businesses and calling themselves bishops, apostles, reverends… demigods!
And so the error continues to multiply.
Can a blind man lead a blind man?
Won't they both fall into the pit?
Inhabited: The Exclusive Sanctuary and the End of Dual Habitation
Another important piece of information to consider is this:
…or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit,
that dwells within you,
originating from God,
and that you are not your own?
The Holy Spirit dwells in those who have received Him and, being a pledge, simply never leaves, for anything!
He doesn't get upset and goes for a stroll around the corner.
He doesn't stay in the living room watching television while you go to the bathroom…
He will only leave your body when the time comes for the ransom to be paid, that is, when you receive salvation in one of the only two possible ways: either by dying or by being raptured!
Once, many years ago, I went to a large event where a "powerful" televangelist would be present.
All of his subordinates were ordered to be present, and the conversation revolved solely around the devil hindering his success, the devil bringing him illness, the devil this, the devil that… he was the only topic of conversation!
At a certain point, it seems the signal was given — or the pre-arranged phrase was uttered — for the manifestations to begin… and it is extremely unpleasant to be in an environment where the original intention was to worship the Lord and end up discovering that it is nothing more than a den of Satan himself, full of his emissaries manifesting themselves through people who, until moments before, behaved as would-be Christians.
The most terrifying thing was seeing that even among the so-called "pastors" there were demonic manifestations, and even before I was a member of the Teóphilo group, I remembered that parable about possession:
And when the unclean spirit has gone out of a man,
He walks through barren places, seeking rest, but finds none.
Then he says: I will return to my house, from where I came.
And when he returns, he finds it unoccupied, swept, and decorated.
Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there.;
And this man's last acts are worse than his first.
So it will be with this wicked generation.
What does this mean?
Well, it's simple and obvious that There is no such thing as double occupancy.!!!
Either life is inhabited by the Holy Spirit—who, pledged by the Lord God himself, will not leave for anything!—or it is, even when empty, reserved for demons!
If a pastor is possessed by demons, under no circumstances should he even hold that title, because:
- IF IT'S TRUE It is proof that the Holy Spirit never dwelt within him and that he is there to act on behalf of Satan;
- IF IT'S A LIE, Even so, he will still be serving the father of lies—who, not coincidentally, is also Satan!—and, therefore, must be rejected!
You could even say that it is A FICTIONAL STORY,
BUT HE WILL NEVER FORGET HOW TO MULTIPLY THE
This publication serves to clarify that we cannot, in fact, discern among all those who have the Holy Spirit and are saved, but there is evidence that allows us to identify with relative ease those who, at least until that moment, never had it, no matter how active and involved in ecclesiastical organizations they may be: for those who want to know more about spectacular Pentecostalism, I have made another approach to the subject in [link/reference]. third part of the Chronology series.
Important Achievements: Legitimizing the Seal
It is providential to list here the fundamental characteristics inherent in the True Holy Spirit. In case of doubt, don't be lazy to open your Bible and verify the legitimacy of what is being done:
- It is given by Christ (Matthew 3:11);
- It is given:
- in response to the prayer (Luke 11:13);
- to those who wait on God (Luke 24:49);
- It is preceded by personal hygiene (Acts 2:38);
- It empowers the service (Acts 1:8);
- It testifies to the spiritual adoption of believers (Romans 8:16; Galatians 4:6;1ˢᵗ John 3:24, 4:13 e 5:6);
- Guide to all truth (John 16:13);
- Controls the movement of believers (Acts 10:19-20);
- Provides guidance in the selection of Christian leaders (Acts 13:2);
- Choose the operation fields (Acts 16:6);
- Grants life (John 6:63; Romans 8:11; 2ⁿᵈ Corinthians 3:6; 1ˢᵗ Peter 3:18);
- Convince the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:7-8);
- He intercedes and pleads for the saints through groans that, although inexpressible in words, are strictly in accordance with the will of God.Romans 8:26-27);
- Those who obey the Holy Spirit show a sign of belonging to the one true God.Galatians 5:18);
- The sin against Him (Acts 5:3; Ephesians 4:30; 1ˢᵗ Thessalonians 5:19)
- It is the only unforgivable thing (Matthew 12:31-32; Mark 3:29).
The Body Hardware
It is the physical machine where everything happens, but it doesn't define the logic; it only processes it as long as there is energy.
- Finite, subject to bugs (sin), security vulnerabilities;
- Designed for planned obsolescence (death).
Holy Spirit (Faith) = Operating System
These are the decision-making bodies. For each area of life, the Operating System It needs to trigger a different facet of sanctification.
- Enhances and directs hardware actions;
- It refers to and enables constant updates (renewal of understanding, via Scripture);
- It guarantees the transmission of content to the cloud by destroying the hardware.
Sanctification Applications
These are the decision-making bodies. For each area of life, the Operating System It needs to trigger a different facet of sanctification.
- Professional: Integrity;
- Social: Character;
- Private (Secret): Purity;
- Digital: Discernment.
Given this last item on the list, we are left with one option.
Crucial Question: The Destruction of the Temple and the End of the Line
Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?
If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him;
For God's temple is sacred, and you are that temple.
Could deliberately destroying the temple of the True Holy Spirit—the body that is God's private property—be considered blasphemy?
Therefore I tell you:
Every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men;
But blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men.
And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven;
But whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.,
Neither in this century nor in the future.
Heroic Sacrifice vs. Suicide: Distinguishing Between Acts and Habitation
It is imperative to establish an ontological distinction so that ignorance does not generate heresy: the heroic sacrifice — where someone gives their life to preserve another — is the ultimate expression of love and an emulation of Christ's own sacrifice (John 15:13).
In this act, the individual does not "destroy" the sanctuary out of rebellion, but offers it in a final act of service. This differs diametrically from suicide in its purely self-destructive form, where one seeks only the end of one's own existence.
Logic is mathematical and irrefutable.Whoever goes so far as to deliberately destroy the sanctuary attests, by their very act, that the Rightful Owner was never there.
The True Holy Spirit is not a negligent tenant watching the demolition of His own dwelling: He is the Pledge!
Where there is destruction, there was never a dwelling, only a religious facade "swept and adorned," but tragically empty.
It is a fact that the number of suicides has increased, and any potential suicide victim may find among the many sermons encouraging suicide the encouragement they lacked. This leads to the conclusion that any pastor who speaks in this way may be thinking of offering comfort to the relatives of someone who has taken their own life, but ends up becoming an instrument of Satan by giving the push that a tormented mind was just waiting for to execute its sordid plan, maintaining, against the truth of the Scriptures, an illusion of salvation.
The Pledge of Salvation is too serious to be treated with cheap sentimentality.
The True Holy Spirit is the seal of ownership; whoever destroys the property attests that they never recognized the Owner.
Conclusion
I was once sincerely and theologically questioned by a Pentecostal pastor who was concerned about the possibility of losing my salvation.
He presented David's words in Psalm 51:11 as an argument for all the insecurity that constantly haunts those who have never delved deeply enough into reading the Scriptures.
The answer is clear and was given directly by the Lord Jesus Christ:
Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.
And this he said concerning the Spirit, which those who believed in him were to receive;
because the Holy Spirit had not yet been given., Because Jesus had not yet been glorified.
In other words, as we have seen throughout this article, for David and all the heroes of faith, this was a legitimate concern, since they could never count on the permanent indwelling of the Holy Spirit in their lives.
Anyone who says otherwise is not confronting me, but the Lord himself.
This realization changes the entire issue that troubles Christians today: the focus shifts from "can I lose my salvation?" to "who has truly received the Holy Spirit?".
This factor impacts all spheres of church businesses, given that many spend their lives emulating this condition to maintain their status and, especially, paid leadership positions within the congregation.
Only for these people is instability interesting, as they sustain their spiritual fraud through fear.
All that the Father gives me will come to me;
and what comes to me I will by no means cast him out..
It should be emphasized that we are not dealing here with a prejudgment about the final destiny of souls—a function that belongs exclusively to the Righteous Judge—but with a biblical diagnosis of the evidence of possession: we do not judge the heart, but we read the seal.
Where the Pledge dwells, preservation is God's signature; where there is deliberate demolition, the absence of dwelling is the fact.
