The Lord is joined to our spirit, but saying "turn to your spirit" I think excludes something important - The Lord Spirit! 
And I think we need to show grace to those who still use some of these words too. For instance, a brother and I here noticed that some speak sometimes of "turning to your spirit." We know it's off, but would hopefully not go to them to try and correct them. That would just be legalism. |
Not in my experience, in the denominations I go to, they say “brothers and sisters” instead of “saints”.
