Yes, another example of a person of the Trinity actually being within us, the use of by creates a distance that is contrary to the multitude of statements about unity.
That sounds like gobbledygook to me

It's not a given though, it's the promise.

This is erroneous...

He is writing what you base your faith on.
Read this closely

[Gal 2:20 KJV] 20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

Again, the KJV is crap.

The NIV doesn't say that.

You should stop using the KJV because it's not accurate.

This is not even a particularly offending section but even here it's causing issues.

Elsewhere it takes away salvation completely.

Again, why give teachings if our cooperation is meaningless?
For the edification of the saints. God wants the saints to be edified regarding Christ and salvation. Observe:

[Eph 4:11-13 KJV]
11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

But not for our cooperation in becoming Saints or parts of the Body?

Who crowned you the expert? You don't understand salvation, so the things of salvation don't make sense to you

And your point is?
It directly asserts that I wear a crown...

I have the signs... the new name is Nexus because the definition accurately suggests the nature of God, the city written on me is Phoenix because of its ties to resurrection, and the key is Galatians 1:8 because it guides us away from error.

Anyway, I was half joking because it really talks about the crown.

Sorry if I missed the joke but I'm not following you at all

We are each expressions of the same one...

Thus act in line with the same unity.
