We all need to realize a truth that is very important when it comes to our spiritual well-being: were we talked into becoming a Christian, or did we come to the knowledge of Him by revelation?
If one can be talked into something, then one can come along who is smarter and talk them out of it!
But if it comes by revelation, then it is a part of our relationship with the One who created us all, and no person is going to talk us out of it! Matthew 16:13–18 speaks to this truth that Jesus revealed to Peter, where revelation from the Father is the foundation of the Ekklesia, the “called-out ones,” the many-membered body of our Lord Jesus Christ.
When we believe and accept the grace of God, manifested through the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, we begin the process of salvation, which involves the whole of our being: spirit, soul, and body. We look to our Lord Jesus Christ as the first-born Son, and we pattern our lives and live as He did by submitting our will to His Lordship, allowing the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit to move in and through us as the vessels we have been created to be in this New Day and at this time of destiny.

I think anything that keeps us from a separate Christ is an error. We really need to meditate on when we receive salvation we did receive Christ in US. As such we have bowed our Wills to the father and let Christ move through us, think through us. I know Mike’s cry has always been Lord that I may know you and the only way that can be done is letting go of self and reaching in to his provision it is right there for us.
