This question is a very serious one. There has been misplaced definitions of an unbeliever in Christianity. The unbeliever is one who DO NOT believe in Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit does not dwell in such people. Buh if by 'unbeliever' in dis context, u mean a believer who commits sin( stealing,lying,adultry etc) then; On the cross, Jesus took our sins away FOREVER (Jn 1:29, Heb 10:14). This is the sole reason the Holy Spirit of God NEVER departs from us(believers). God's new way of grace is permanent relationship with Him, permanent indwelling by the Holy Spirit no matter what. The bible said in Heb 8:12, Even wen we commit sin, He remembers it no more. The Holy Spirit is sealed within us forever and He will NEVER leave us or Forsake us (Eph 1:13-14, Heb 13:5).

Yes.

The Holy Spirit is more like a remote control that we all have. Only those who understand the manual of operations could activate Him.

Whether you believe or not, the Holy Spirit speaks to everyone. However, how would you hear when you don't understand his language or choose not to listen (for surface believers)? Or when you're ignorant of his existence and hence his activation(for unbelievers)?
I beg to differ... the Holy Spirit can only be given to those who believe in God's only begotten Son; Jesus Christ. It is the Holy Spirit that then convicts you of your sin by reminding you of God's word. The unbeliever is not in Christ Jesus and light has nothing to do with darkness. So no, the unbeliever does not have the Holy Spirit.

Anyone who is in Christ is a new being. The Holy Spirit makes them New. Therefore someone who has not confessed Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior cannot have Holy Spirit. Are you ok With this Op?
please tell me the exact statement in your bible In quote where Jesus said to is people that 'I am the personal lord and Savior ' .

I can remember Isaiah 42:8 where god himself claim is positioned.

KJV:I am the Lord: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.

[s] Holy spirit work in two ways...


There's "holy spirit WITHIN" and "holy spirit UPON". "Holy spirit within" is always present in the lives of the believers while "holy spirit UPON " is the one that comes to the unbelievers when God wants to use them to convey a message to an individual or group of people, they are just vessels even though, they may be dirty vessels.


NB: "Holy spirit UPON" also comes to believers too [/s]
Trash

The Holy Spirit only dwells in believers and not unbelievers but He can also speak to unbelievers especially when He wants to convict them and pull them close to Christ Jesus

Please I need to know
In the first place if you don't believe you can't receive the holy spirit, The holy spirit can never be present in unbelievers , Holy spirit is for those who believe and evil spirits is for unbelievers.

I see that you can access the Bible, everything in the Holy Bible confirms the Lordship of Jesus Christ. No one seats on the right hand of God except Jesus. Jesus is the Word and Spirit of God. Everything was created through Him.

Yes...Christian or not... in New Testament times..... man has both Holy and Evil spirits preloaded in their hearts. You as a person choose the path you want to take in life...one step at a time. Whenever you choose to do something...mainly on the evil/bad side.... the inner Holy Spirit will warn you. ... do not do it.... the decision is still yours. As in...very common... I was about having sex with this babe I wanted a longggg time and as I was about to...'my mind' kept saying no.... but I did it anyway. Now here I am.... HIV positive... I should've followed my mind.

Luke 11:13: " Therefore, If you, although being wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more so will the father in the heaven give holy Spirit to those ASKING him!

Now let's pause, will an unbeliever ask God for holy Spirit when he doesn't even believe in God? for what purpose will he ask for it? what does he want to do with it?
2Cor 4:4- "among whom the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the UNBELIEVERS, so that the illumination of the glorious good news about Christ might not shine through.

How does holy Spirit work in someone who doesn't even have the light of Christ in him or her?

Only believers who ask God sincerely for the Holy Spirit for the sake of his purpose will he give it to. not to the unbelievers because they wont even ask.
thanks.

The Holy Spirit is without any doubt presence in everybody because He's God's breathe(Spirit)which makes all human a living being,the day you die signify the depature of God's breathe,i.e.Spirit within you-Genesis1vs26!let us made man in our own image,after our likeness...evaluate!
Secondly,i remember vividly that i was previledge to see the only HOLY SPIRIT physically while i was a reached sinner;quote me!
Nevertheless,the Holy Spirit become more potent,real and materialistic to human when we saved or when you God's favourite.
Note-it was the Holy Spirit who led the Isrealites out of Egypt by signs/wonders thru Moses,same Holy Spirit activated the power of God in the rod of Moses which parted the red sea but moment the Isrealites sinned,the Holy Spirit quits their congregation and their enemies sets in,torment and prevailed over them-Isaiah63vs10!therefore,the Holy Spirit is present in human being(1st John5vs8)but not many are been led by this Holy Spirit.Lots have given their hearts to other spirits which are majorly satanic spirits,e.g.prostitution is an act of sleeping around for monetary rewards but it's a spirit operating in human hearts,samething with stealing,lies,witch crafts,etc.They are all spirits but dwells/operates in the hearts of men/women.

I even have this video in my system, he was mentioning about Jesus name is word of God. he was just labelling a son of man has God word which he used in creating the universe.

the whole thing is Christ is a servant of God, if you go to the book of act 3:13 many verses where he was called prophet not god mark 6:3-4,
Luke 24:19,
Mathew 21:45-46
Mathew 21:11

KJV:And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.

can god be calling on god since he was the word by crying saying Eli Eli Eli why won't he do what he wants, and he was complaining. read Mathew 27:46

KJV:And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

'I am god worship me '
