Indwelling Christ in our Human Spirit - who emphasizes this now besides LC?
We did so well with the "Eating & Drinking Jesus Daily - who emphasizes this besides the LC?" thread, I thought to start this topic.
It seems like such an evident (aka no-brainer) and key aspect of the New Covenant, that now Christ lives in us, and the Anointing is dwelling in us to write His laws on our hearts and minds. And it seems most apparent in scripture that man has a spirit and by the new birth our spirit is regenerated with His life. And that we are one Spirit with Him. (1 Cor 6:17) I learned about having a spirit and that Christ was in me from the LC (circa 1974). Now days I seldom hear anyone in other Christian groups talk much about the importance of "Christ is you, the hope of glory." (Col 1:27) But if this not the New Covenant, then what is? And, of course, many might acknowledge that Christ is in the believer, but then approach the whole New Covenant in a largely outward, Old Covenant way of buckle-down performance, which is simply legalism. So here's the main question: Are there Christian groups or speakers out there who emphasize the indwelling of Christ in our spirit - and that the Christian life is impossible to live apart from Him living in and through us? (and of course I know the ramifications of how LSM took things to an extreme and abused the truth of this, and how the resultant legalism has suppressed the Holy Spirit there, etc., etc.)
