I would say that A and E did lose their intimate communion with...

Yes, Jesus lives in my heart. The idea of Christ indwelling those who have placed their faith in Him and belong to Him is a biblical truth and reality…
But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he...
