In magazines, debates and studies, generally speaking, I have found only two alternative teachings for the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. One is the indwelling through the Word only, and the second alternative is indwelling in the physical body (with variations). There is a third alternative concerning the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. In 1 Corinthians 3:9, the Lord first described the Corinthians as plants in God’s husbandry. Paul planted, and Apollos watered. In the same verse (1 Corinthians 3:9), He described the same brethren as being a building. In verse 16, He identified that building as being a temple. He, then, described the single foundation for this temple (1 Corinthians 3:10-11), being Jesus Christ Himself, testifying that no other foundation can be laid. In Ephesians 2:19-20, the Holy Spirit described Jesus Christ as being the chief cornerstone (as also indicated in 1 Peter 2:6-8), with the apostles and prophets being a part of that one foundation. Building on the 1 Corinthians 3:9 picture, the Spirit, then, described how the Corinthians were able to build on this foundation with varied materials, including wood, hay and stubble (1 Corinthians 3:12-13). Such a description precludes the temple in this chapter describing physical bodies. Having described the one spiritual temple, the apostle Paul declared that the Holy Spirit dwells in this temple (1 Corinthians 3:16). Once more, in the same verse, the inspired apostle declared that the Corinthians are this temple. The “ye” is plural, and the temple is singular. All the brethren in Corinth were this one temple. Thus, there is in fact, one spiritual temple in which the Holy Spirit dwells. The same
