A: No. We abide in him and he in us.
These answers should cover your David question as well.
I see you have another post.... I will try to get to it when I can.
God bless

If we sin as a saint according to your initial response to kwaiQ, we will be separated from the Holy Spirit which is in us. Recognizing this sin is not the same as confessing and repenting of it. Would you call a saint who falls into sin as one that abides in Christ?
We abide in him if we don't sin. What prevents the Spirit from coming and going constantly in a Christian who is struggling with a sin?
Another example might be the churches in the book of Revelation. Why didn't Jesus take the candlestick away and remove his Spirit from the churches with whom he was displeased?
