"But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his." The reason this verse causes so much consternation is because of our terminology with regard to being 'in the flesh'. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit. Someone who is a believer may be carnal, or backslidden, or 'fleshy', but never 'in the flesh'. The believer is always in the Spirit. Now they may have an infantile walk but nevertheless a believer, being born of God, is now and forever in the Spirit. It is only up to us to be kept being filled. Or in the context of Romans to reckon ourselves dead, to let not sin reign, and to yield to righteousness. It’s imperative that we do that as long as it is now, which of course is right now.
