I am calling to ask, how come Bible-believing Christians, and sadly some so-called grace Christians,
believe that saved people are automatically controlled by the Holy Spirit without having to yield to the Holy Spirit?
When people do that, it can cause weak, struggling Christians to doubt their salvation, and it can cause strong Christians to question other people's salvation and become judgmental.
I have noticed this mainly happens when pastors, including grace Pastors, slip verses from James and 1 John and such into Pauline verses, and that seems to be causing a problem.
I would like to know more about the situation and what can be done about it.
God has given everyone free will, and I agree with you.
Being saved does not mean we're on autopilot.
We're not automatically controlled by the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is a dweller.
The Bible says the Holy Spirit dwells within the believer.
He's a leader. He leads if we let him.
He's a greever.
He grieves when we don't let him.
He's a sealer.
He seals the believer at the moment of belief.
The Holy Spirit is an intercession prayer warrior who prays for us, prays for things we don't even know to pray for.
And while we should, Galatians 5:25, keep in step with the Spirit, nowhere do we find that he makes us do that.
He is not a controller, and regardless of what Calvinists tell us, things do happen by chance.
Luke chapter 10 verse 31.
