The foundation has already been laid. The scriptures say that plainly.

Ephesians 2:20 19Therefore you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens of the saints and members of God’s household, 20built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the cornerstone. 21In Him the whole building is fitted together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord.

I believe that the foundation has already been laid.

So don't you believe that we need that foundation within our hearts?

So what are the ministering Spirits that Paul speaks about then? Who do they minister to?
Click to expand...

Angels are ministering spirits. Nowhere though do I see from the Bible that the spirits of angels from God live inside the saved. Could you show me with more scripture how you come to that belief?

I know demons can live inside people, but have not ever read in the scriptures that angels live in the saved.

I have proven with scripture that having the spirit of Elijah is being like someone, just like we are like Jesus when we obey him.



I definitely do NOT agree with that. You are claiming that another man's spirit is in John. No way.



Scripture doesn't say God puts other men's spirits in men.

Well Jesus didn't say that John was like Elijah, he said he was Elijah!

So when has an angel ministered to you seeing as you are born of God?

I think it is good the way you say it.

I was more concerned when I heard it as you saying we build the foundation.

I have read where some people think that is what they are doing.

I see it more that we show them the foundation...tell people about the foundation.

Well, I believe that angels minister to those who are going to be saved by watching and reporting to God, and then when a person is saved they have God Himself inside them. I also believe that angels carry some to God when they die. There is also scripture about people entertaining angels and do not know it.

I see it as we speak the word and then God through us plants the seed, which is Christ and he is our foundation that we are built upon. And every living stone who has the Spirit of Christ within, who lives by the will of God, is in the image Christ. And the church have the life of Christ in and through them.

So how do they minister? And how do you believe that we entertain angels unawares?

They minister by watching and reporting to God before one is saved.
They minister when they carry the spirit of the dead person to God.
They minister when you are entertaining them.



The scripture says unawares. So how can one answer that?
Click to expand...

We are unawares because the man/woman has the Spirit within them and we could be entertaining those angels of God unawares.

It says in the Bible that the angels ministered unto Jesus in the wilderness.

And Jesus also said this

John 1

And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.

Do you know what he means?

I believe it means that Jesus is surrounded by angels.

What do you think it means?
