Straight forward question,

Can we claim Christ as our Lord and savior before we have the Spirit of Christ?

Rom. 8:9 tells us if we are not in Him and the Spirit of Christ is not in us, we are none of His.

How do we receive the Spirit of Christ first? It can't be by accepting Christ before receiving His Spirit, He's not ours yet!

So the Spirit of Christ must be given first, before we can claim Him as our Lord and savior.

Oh, and also. Because we don't have the Spirit of Christ yet, Christ is not ours, and His word and the promises in His word are not ours yet either.

So how do we receive the Spirit of Christ"first", without an illegitimate claim to Him, His word, and His promises?
 
Is this like the chicken before the egg thing?

It's hard to answer the question like that when I KNOW the exact moment Jesus stepped into my heart.
