God has created Adam and Eve with the souls in the same image of the soul of God, with the spirit in the likeness of his light, and with the flesh body from the dust of the earth. At first, God gave the flesh body of Adam to his soul and made him as a living man; and then God breathed his spirit into his soul, and made him a living soul, as in Genesis 2:7. God placed Adam and Eve in the garden of God, which is paradise. "Genesis 2:15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. 16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die." But Adam and Eve ate the fruit that God told them not to eat, and instantaneously their spirit persons died, their glory departed, and their nakedness revealed. God cursed Adam and Even and expelled them from paradise to the ground. In "Genesis 3:19 God says In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return." Since their spirits were dead, they lived with soul and body. "Genesis 5:3 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; ...:" The descendants of Adam were born after his image and likeness, his body and soul, without the spirit. So, we are born with no Spirit, that is, we are all dead souls to God. Adam and Eve were dead to spirit in their prime life, and they lived in their flesh bodies, without the spirit, more than 900 years. There was no record of his repentance and forgiveness of sins for him in the scriptures. Even so even most Christians live without the spirit, like intelligent animals, and spent their lifetime here in pleasure without spirit, and are going to eternal damnation.
So, Jesus Christ says that we must be born of the Spirit to see, to enter, and to inherit the kingdom of God; it is in John 3:3-8; Jesus says in "3 ... Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. ... in 5 ... Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.". So, there are two persons, if we are born only of flesh, we are flesh person, and if we are born of spirit, we are spirit person. As the soul receives the flesh body at birth, we will receive the Spirit body as our second birth. When we receive the spirit, we will become living souls.
But, how to receive the holy spirit from God? "Acts 2:38 ... Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." The gift, which is singular gift is the holy spirit. So, we must repent for our sins and be baptized. Also Luke 11:9-13 tells us to ask God as a child ask his father, and God will give us the holy spirit. ["Luke 11:9 I say unto you, ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. 10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? 12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?"] So, submit ourselves as children to God, and ask God the Father as his child; God will seal the holy Spirit to your soul. How do we know that if we have the holy spirit in us? If we twist scriptures and do not obey God, what we have is not the holy spirit. But if we hate sin, love holiness, and do righteousness, then we have the holy Spirit.
Our flesh and our spirit desire opposite things. "Galatians 5:16&17 say, 16 Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh." So, if we are born again, we will walk in the Spirit, we will not sin in flesh, and this is the evidence that we have the holy spirit in us. But most Christians live in sin and say that they are born again. They say that speaking in tongues is the evidence of the holy spirit in us and teach people how to speak in tongues. This is fake even though the gift is true. "Romans 8:13 if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God." So, what we say will not count; but if we do what the flesh craves for, we will die eternally; but if we do what the spirit says, we will not do sin; then our sinning is mortified; and then we will inherit eternal life, as sons of God. Ephesians 4:30 says, "grieve not the holy spirit." 1 Thessalonians 5:19 says "quench not the spirit." But if we grieve or quench the spirit, the spirit will leave, and then we will be children of darkness without having any light of God and we will be damned eternally. So, we must walk in the spirit, obey the commands of God by following the leading of the Spirit. It is in Romans 8:1-17. "verse 1 says There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit...." If we are led of the Spirit, we will inherit the kingdom of God as joint heirs with Jesus Christ, as Sons of God.
When Adam and Eve have sinned, their spirit left them instantly. So, their souls were dead even though their bodies continued to live. When David has sinned, he was afraid that the same thing may happen to him also. So, he prayed to God in Psalm 51:11 ... "take not thy holy spirit from me." So, we must know that God gives the Spirit, and he may also take it away. God gives the holy spirit to a repented person and gives him certain time to be converted. If the person does not stop sinning, within the time that God has graciously given him, on a certain day, God may give an alarm, and if the person does not respond, God will take the holy spirit away from him. It is explained in Hebrews 3:7-15. "7 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, 8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: ... 11 So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.) ... 15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation." But most Christians believe in death bed conversion; but it is a lie of the devil. Our last chance for eternal life will not be decided on our death bed, but it comes long before, when we are in full strength, capable to decide whether to obey God or not to obey God. This day will come to us when we least expect it. God has rejected Adam and Eve when they were young in their prime life, and they lived in their flesh bodies, without the spirit, for 900 and more years. There was no record of his repentance and forgiveness of sins for him in the scriptures. Even so, most Christians live without the spirit, like intelligent animals, and spent their life here in pleasure, but they are going to eternal damnation. So, if you care for eternal life, be born of the spirit now, and walk in the spirit, inherit heaven, and spent your eternity with God, even our Lord Jesus Christ.

Matthew 28:20, & Mark 16:15. Jesus Christ preached his commandments to obey, as his
Gospel; it is the true Gospel to inherit Eternal life. Genesis 3:1-4 & 2 Corinth 11:2-4. But Preachers, who are Serpents of Satan, preach the life of man Jesus just to believe, but not to live as a chaste virgin, as the gospel; it is another gospel, which cannot and will not give Eternal life.The true gospel will convert evil people to do good and thereby they will inherit the kingdom in heaven
. John 3:19-21 say that people are two kinds, evil and true. Evil doers will not come to the Light, who is God; but people of truth come to God for their deeds to be made manifest. We have good and evil people by our standard of our society or culture. These evil people may be converted to be doers of truth by the power of God, and they may inherit the kingdom of God in heaven.
