When you HAVE THE SPIRIT OF GOD IN YOU YOU FOLLOW THE TEN COMMANDMENTS FULLY that is how you know
Numbers 14:24 But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.
bad spirits come on you sometimes, when they do you dont have the holy spirit.
Numbers 5:14 And the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not defiled:
the Bible says the spirit of jealousy can come on you at any time...
Num 11:24 And Moses went out, and told the people the words of the LORD, and gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them round about the tabernacle.
Num 11:25 And the LORD came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease.
THEY DID NOT ALWAYS HAVE THE SPIRIT MOST PEOPLE DO NOT
Num 11:26 But there remained two of the men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the spirit rested upon them; and they were of them that were written, but went not out unto the tabernacle: and they prophesied in the camp.
the spirit does not dwell in you at all time
the false teachings say it does
it does not
it does at special times and it comes and goes
if you had the spirit all the time you could never sin
since you sin you dont have him all the time
the false doctrine of being saved with the SOIRIT ALWAYS IN YOU is false
not biblical
it makes you think you are saved while you are not.
false
Not all the people have spirit of God in them at all times
Num 11:29 And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the LORD'S people were prophets, and that the LORD would put his spirit upon them!
you can ask for it.
and he will give it
and the moment you decide to do wrong, it is gone.
it has nothing to do with if you will be saved or not at all.
all who remain faithful will be saved.
