Abstract: (613 Views)
According to the doctrine of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, one of the basic functions of the Holy Spirit is to transform people into a new creation, which is necessary for salvation. On the other hand, man is an independent being who has the right to choose between happiness and misery. The serious issue is how a free man is placed in the course of divine inner guidance. In this study, Alston's sharing model can reasonably defend the position of authority. Based on this model, the Christian believer, in indwelling the Holy Spirit within himself, gets knowledge and awareness of what is good and feels that he wants to show a proper and appropriate reaction. This model plays an important role in all transformations of the Holy Spirit and simultaneously permits human free will.
