That’s where we definitely differ,Bill. For you it seems that ‘life in the Spirit’ is about theories and doctrines. For me they are just to explain what’s going on and what’s happened. A child with hardly any understanding but knows Jesus has life in the Spirit. A Theologian can have massive intellectual capacity and analytic skills but nothing of the Spirit of God. To illustrate … a person could claim deeper knowledge of Truth yet hold grudges and manifest no forgiveness for real or perceived wrongs. In so doing they would miss the essence of what they are supposedly advocating in a ‘superior’ way.
