Humanity is that human nature that comprises spirit, soul and body. In His incarnation Christ partook of humanity. He was human just like us. And when we received the Spirit, we did not receive any additional humanity.

KSA,
How can you say "incarnation" is not part of the "humanity of Christ"? How can the Word become flesh without incarnation? I cannot follow your logic here.
The very "humanity of Christ" that we have received has mainly to do with the human living, persecutions, sufferings, and "death and resurrection" of the Lord Jesus as allegorized in Exodus 20. My earlier post is so simple to read and understand but you have chosen not to receive the message.
Only with the Holy Spirit added to the "humanity of Christ" we are able to experience the very life and nature of Christ in us. The "humanity of Christ" is the UPLIFTED HUMANITY that we do not possess before we were regenerated. This is the very reason, why the "humanity of Christ" was added to the Holy Spirit in order for us to receive the Holy Spirit as breathed to us in John 20:22. Thereby, we who have been regenerated now possessed the very life and nature of God, PLUS THE "HUMANITY OF CHRIST".
Please refer to your earlier post where you have provided us a link to read. The author of that article was not denying the prior existence of the Spirit and the aftermath standing of the Holy Spirit because of the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Read it for your self.
