What is a spiritual person?
Have you ever heard someone say, "He isn't spiritual" or "She sure is spiritual"? The Bible defines for us what it means to be a spiritual person: •A spiritual person has the Spirit's birth (John 3:5, "...verily, verily I say unto thee, except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.") •A spiritual person believes the Spirit's book. (2 Tim. 3:16, 17 "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.") •A spiritual person obeys the Spirit's beseeching. (Rom. 12:1, "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God...") •A spiritual person walks in the Spirit's behavior. (I Cor. 6:17, But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.") •And last but not least, a spiritual person experiences the Spirit's blessings. (Gal. 5:22, 23, "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance...")
When we meet these definitions of a "spiritual person" we are then able to "bear one another's burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ." Beliefs E.C. Russell First Assembly of God
