Hello larrylyates,
I believe that, after the Incarnation, there existed a functional dichotomy in God. External to the context of his humanity, the one God continued to "function" as unlimited deity just as he always had. Internal to the context of his humanity, he functioned as a genuine human complete with all of its limitations, but that he was anointed of the Holy Ghost (
Acts 10:38).

The corollary is that we are now able to function in the same way. I am interested in your thoughts on this issue, being an Apostolic.

We are not able to function in the EXACT same way as Jesus, for the Spirit was poured out upon him without measure. But with the baptism of the Holy Ghost, we have power through his name Jesus.
