Your Body a Temple

This is a metaphor used by Paul, referring to the presence of the Holy Ghost in those repented and baptised   – providing they have prayed for it, or have received it through ‘the laying-on-of-hands by one possessing the Holy Ghost. Only now the body is a temple to the Holy Ghost. So, do not be fooled when this quote is used by deceivers to preach a false message to you.
Save you’ve repented and have baptised, your body is not a temple, for you are no Christian, but a mere believer or unbeliever.

Paul preaching to Christians: repented and baptised believers.

CO1 3: 16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
CO1 3: 17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
CO1  3: 18  Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
CO1  3: 19  For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

CO1 3: 17  meaning:
Once successfully baptised, there is no second remission for sin: for then one is incapable of sin. Why else would  God give us baptism? But to those who believe the contrary, Paul reveals the following.
HEB  10: 26  For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
HEB  10: 27  But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

CO1  3: 18  meaning:                                                                                      Before we become like little children we shall not see the kingdom of heaven. Thus we become fools first, and through the truth of the Gospel we are made wise ( CO1  3: 19).

JOH  3: 5  Jesus answered, 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.
