only if you dispensationally divide the scriptures. otherwise you end up confusing all scriptures by make the church Israel, church age the Tribulation of Revelation.

Winman,

That is a very good explanation. if someone is in the body of Christ and yet the Spirit is not there obviously they are outside the will of God possibly grieved the Holy Spirit and there would be no works, a Christians living like that might as well be dead. but if they are alive to God through Christ and the Spirit is not grieved good works will follow. if they are not in the body they have not the spirit therefore they are just unsaved religious men.
