Looks like we see Christianity differently. In Galatians, Paul writes "But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law." The implication is that if we aren't led by the spirit, then we are still under the law. How do we know if we're led by the spirit? Next thing Paul writes is about the works of the flesh and fruit of the spirit.
I think there are people who believe in Jesus as their savior, and are still showing a lot of works of the flesh... just starting to grow the fruit of the spirit...
I agree, we do see Christianity differently. If I understand your statement above correctly, you are saying that a person can be saved and have a "small" portion of the fruits of the Spirit and a large portion of the flesh. The more fruits of the spirit they produce the "more" Spirit they have.
I can't agree with that though because the fruits of the Spirit are not the fruits of Dan, or the fruits of Rob (my name), they are the fruits of the Holy Spirit. We exhibit (not produce) those fruits because the Holy Spirit dwells within us. The Holy Spirit produces love, joy, peace.... in us, we don't grow into them.
In Romans 8 God defines exactly what it means to be in the flesh or in the Spirit. Any person that has the Holy Spirit dwelling in them are in the Spirit. Any person that does not have the Holy Spirit dwelling in them is in the flesh. A believer has no choice to be in the Spirit or not in the Spirit... that's a made up religious tradition.
Rom_8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
Either our flesh has been crucified with Christ or it has not been crucified with Christ.... there is no partial crucifixion of the flesh.
