Oh sorry, I didn't understand the question. I don't think there are two spirits, but I think there is a difference in receiving Christ (i.e., His Spirit), and the baptism in the Spirit. Two different works of the same Spirit. Sorry that wasn't clear.

many people over look this in John 3:6

John 3:6
New King James Version (NKJV)

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the (S)pirit is (s)pirit.

one is a capital S the other is a small s.

Meaning God's Spirit Gives bith to your spirit, I believe this happens at repentance (true repentance) cause true repenatance will cause your spirit to change, life style out look and all.

i don't think the letters had a case in the original manuscripts, so that would be an interpretation imo. not sure, just commenting.

its been touched on many times even way before we were born. so its not case sinsitive, the Spirit gives birth to your spirit.

Why would God give birth to His Spirit from His Spirit? common sense clears it up

1. I have thought the same thoughts. Especially when those who have Christ:

Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

10And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

2. And those who have the Spirit of Him who raised Christ from the Dead:

But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.



Now we know that Jesus said, destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up and we also know that the Bible says God raised Christ from the dead. So in this sense the dual nature of Jesus is fully recognized. The work of the atonement via the flesh of Christ, termed the Spirit of Christ imparts righteousness. While the deity of Christ, Spirit of God, dwells in us to quicken our mortal body (both now and in the rapture) so that we are not debtors to the flesh, to live according to it.


While it is definitely not the normal interpretation of the verses, the insenuation in my opinion is there. Not two Spirits, but two works of the same Spirit, one of the atonement and one of the sanctification.
