This verse very clearly states that if someone does not have the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit, then that person is not saved. Therefore, if the Holy Spirit were to leave a believer, that person would have lost the saving relationship with Christ. Yet this is contrary to what the Bible teaches about the eternal security of Christians. Another verse that speaks to the permanence of the Holy Spirit’s indwelling presence in the life of believers is John 14:16. Here Jesus states that the Father will give another Helper “to be with you forever.”
Ngunit salungat ito sa itinuturo ng Bibliya tungkol sa hindi pagkawala ng kaligtasan ng isang tunay na Kristiyano. Ang isa pang talata na nagtuturo ng pananatili magpakailanam ng Banal na Espiritu sa isang tunay na mananampalataya ay ang Juan 14:16, kung saan sinabi ni Hesus, "At ako'y dadalangin sa Ama, at kayo'y bibigyan niya ng ibang Mangaaliw, upang siyang sumainyo magpakailan man"
