At resurrection or changing a Christian's (new) body is also perfect (Rom 6:7, 1
Cor 15:42-54).

The spirit, soul and body are distinct but overlapping entities and it is available
now for the Christian to be perfect in all three (2 Cor 13:11 'one mind', 1 Thes
5:23), rather than only in the spirit. This will however in fact only occur at the
resurrection or changing (Phil 3:21, 1 John 1:8) in the sense that only then will the,
new, body cease to sin. Appropriation (see the definition of this term) is possible
now both as manifestation (Rom 8:19) and as the freedom from degeneration, age-
related decrepitude and corruption (Rom 8:21, 1 Thes 5:23). The flesh will not
cease to sin until the resurrection or changing (Rom 8:21, 23, Phil 3:21). Only
then will the new body cease to sin in the flesh (Rom 8:23).

A Christian is fully filled with the Holy Ghost at the moment of Salvation and can
not be further filled thereafter, re-filled or topped up as the Christian remains
completely filled (John 3:34 which is what we have at Col 1:27 as distinct to Elijah
and Elisha whereby Elisha had a double portion; 2 Kings 2:9-12; Acts 6:5, 7:55,
9:17, Rom 8:1, 9, Eph 4:4, Col 1:27, 2:9-10, Heb 6:4, 1 John 3:9). The same
applies to the faith of and for Salvation, which is total at the moment of Salvation
and remains so always for as long as someone is a Christian (Acts 8:37, Eph 4:5,
Col 2:9-10, 1 John 3:9), which is distinct to the faith of or for specific gifts or
things (1 Cor 12:9, 11, Gal 5:22, 1 Tim 4:14).

The soul has, in a mystery, dual sexuality (Psalm 3:2, 34:2).

The Flesh and Christians

A Christian’s flesh whilst still continually sinning (1 John 1:8) is as part of the
Christian continually cleansed of sin by the blood of Christ (Eph 1:7, 1 John 1:7).
The sinful flesh is what needs this ongoing forgiveness, not the basic spirit of a
Christian (1 John 3:9). Furthermore it is washed in pure water (Heb 10:22),
clothed in Christ by baptism (Gal 3:27) and buried by baptism (Col 2:12). The
circumcision of Christ which is Salvation (Phil 3:3, Col 2:11) separates the now
perfect spirit (see above) from the flesh, it is put off (Col 2:11). The whole flesh of
a Christian is spiritually circumcised by Salvation (Jer 4:4, Rom 2:28-29, Col 2:11,
13) and the flesh is continually forgiven by confession (Eph 1:7, 1 John 1:9) and
repentance (2 Cor 7:9, 2 Tim 2:25, Rev 3:19). What a Christian does not
consciously confess, repent of or forgive in his mind is confessed and repented of
by his spirit in conjunction with the Holy Ghost within (Rom 8:26-7, 1 Cor 2:11, 1
John 2:12, 3:9). It is important to confess consciously and in fellowship as that
