“The general framework for understanding the continual filling of the Spirit in the individual’s life and the corporate community is one of spiritual growth in maturity and one of Christian ministry.” (Volume 40, Number 2, Page 239)
“Relationship religions that stress prayer and communication with the divine like Judaism and Christianity and their offshoots—Islam, Mormonism, Rastafari, Jehovah’s Witnesses, syncretistic faiths—incorporate freedom from sacrifice to the measure that they take the ultimate sacrifice of Christ seriously, gauging by the degree of salvific duties required and extent of their apprehension of the full purification offered by God in Christ’s sacrifice.” (Volume 40, Number 2, Page 196)
“the terminal sacrifice in Heb 10:1–6, Hebrew/Israelite substitutionary sacrifice as opposed to Canaanite human sacrifice” (Volume 40, Number 2, Page 190)
“the efficacy of Christ’s sacrifice as detailed in Heb 10:7–18” (Volume 40, Number 2, Page 190)
“Thus believers should be advised to shed any undue preoccupation with whether they are filled with the Spirit, focusing rather on living obedient Christian lives that are increasingly characterized by the Spirit’s presence. At times they may be too involved in ministry even to recognize their need to be filled with the Spirit, but the sovereign God who bestows the Spirit will nevertheless ‘fill’ them with the Spirit if he deems it necessary.” (Volume 40, Number 2, Page 240)
