Tony X3 . . . your 100% Bibleanity is NOT Christianity. We have nothing to do with our salvation. Christ achieved that. Our sanctification is achieved by following Hid commands to "love God and each other" daily and repent when we don't, period.
Once we accept Christ Jesus in full, we accept the Spirit of God in our lives (to be indwelt within us), but we also accept to walk and live in the Spirit as testimony of the Son of God, Christ Jesus, and His many living apostles that walked and lived in the Spirit. When I speak of the Spirit, this is the Holy Spirit as testimony of in Gods Covenant, the Word of Truth. The Truth is in the Spirit, and the Truth will only be heard or seen of whom walk and live in the Spirit. When we are filled with the Spirit on a daily basis through free will choice and live a Christ like life (walking and living in the Spirit), which means to repent on a daily basis, we are then cleansed of our sinful nature and redeemed through His grace of the Son of God, Christ Jesus. By picking up our cross and following Him, as testimony of Christ Jesus. Then the the fulfillment of the Atonement is completed.
When we walk and live in the Spirit on a daily basis, we are redeemed and gain salvation. We must repent on a daily basis and keep His Word of Truth to heart and not our own understanding. When we walk and live in the Spirit we emanate the Fruits of the Spirit, thus then graced with the Gifts of the Spirits through our faith and good deeds in Christ Jesus' mighty name. His grace! These Gifts of the Spirits is God our Fathers grace for us to lead His Church into unity.
When we walk and live in the Spirit we are then sanctified, consecrated or set-apart, and dedicated to use unto God our Father through Christ Jesus. The Gospel is a witness of the Words of Truth, but we must be in Spirit to here Gods Truth or it falls on deaf ears.
....Peace be with you all
