At salvation (in or during regeneration, and renewing). How much of the Holy Ghost did God bestow, pour out, "shed on us?" answer: in abundance or "abundantly" meaning copiously or richly. We should believe that. On what basis do we have this rich blessing? Answer: "through Jesus Christ our Saviour." So what does it say about the sacrifice of Jesus if we start creating categories of Christians who are "anointed" and not "anointed" and/or needing more "anointing"? No thank you. The Biblical idea is that all believers, even the most feeble ones, all, have the Holy Ghost in abundance. They have the anointing of 1 Jn. 2:27. And they all owe it to the finished work of Jesus. Rice is much more influenced by Charismatic/Pentecostal/Keswick/Holiness/Methodist/Quaker movement than many would care to admit. But if error isn't exposed and corrected it will stop until it destroys truth.Bill Hardeckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15552819877860565186noreply@blogger.com
