Spiritual Circumcision - Our Tripartite Being

Eph 2:14-15 " For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us ; Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man , so making peace;"

Col 2:11-13 "In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands , in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;"
1 Thessalonians 5:23 "And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ ."
Vessel
Being born again, your vessel is like a " pot of clay ": the fleshly body of your 3 part being that you (your saved Soul with it's bodily shape, and your live Spirit ) walk around in.
Romans 9:21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
1 Thessalonians 4:4 That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;
2 Timothy 2:20-21 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.
1 Peter 3:7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel , and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.
Purge your vessel of "wood and of earth" by Casting Out Devils

The following quote regarding Colossians chapter 2:11-13 is from Dr Ruckman's AUDIO Romans Study with transcripts:
"The majority of scholars in any age of any persuasion, the leading critics of any persuasion, missed the passage in Colossians chapter two verse 11 and 12 . In Colossians two 11 and 12 , we learn when the Christian is saved, he's cut loose from the body of this death, the body of sins, and he's no longer in sins, he's in Christ. He's in Christ, the Spirit of God dwells in him, he's no longer in the body in the flesh, but he's in spirit and you are not in the flesh, but in the spirit, if so be the spirit of God dwell in you, and if Christ be in you the body is dead, Romans eight ten , dead dead dead dead dead because of sin.
Now you understand why I said a Christian is a live spirit, and a dead body. The un-saved man is a dead spirit and a live body. My reason for saying that is that was the opinion of the Holy Spirit who wrote the Book. That's an infallible ex-cathedra statement from a King James Bible. Your body is dead. Paul said I'm crucified with Christ, never the less, contradiction, I live, contradiction, but not I, contradiction, it is Christ that liveth in me, and so forth and so on, and the life that I now live I live by the faith of the son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. The Christian has a dead body, from which he's been cut loose, he is no longer in the flesh, even though he's in the flesh geographically, he's not in the flesh spiritually. You say, "well how do you get geographically? simple, second Corinthians ten three says "though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh". Paul said the Christian is not in the flesh, but he walks in the flesh, and Paul said that if you're in the spirit don't walk in the flesh, even though you do. What does this mean? Why it's real simple.
Notice how the English sheds the advanced revelation that is missing in the Greek and the Hebrew, and none of the scholars can find. The invaluable absolute authoritative text of the King James Bible here opens up one of the greatest truths of the two natures of the new birth possible to imagine, and there isn't any record of any Greek scholar. since Origen and Westcott and Hort, having ever found the first basic truth of the matter.
The first basic truth of the matter is you're still in your flesh geographically, in the sense that you're still located in your body walking around inside it, the body of this death, but the new man in there has been circumcised spiritually, cut loose from that body inside, like an ice cube that has become un-stuck from the container in which it is found, and that spirit has been joined to the Lord, "He that is joined to the Lord is one spirit", that new spirit is in Christ, part of Christ, Christ is part of it, the new nature is loosed from that body, and you're not in the flesh, but in the spirit, if so be the spirit of Christ dwell in you, and if so, you couldn't live in sin if you tried. You could commit sins, your dead body, but you, the new man, can't live in sin because his seed remaineth in him and he cannot sin, because he's born of God.
There, that's where that verse came in, and that's why men the brethren in the Assemblies of God and Church of God make a mistake on both verses. Their three mistakes are living in sin, 6:2 taken out of the context, the Twice Married woman, Romans seven one to three , taken out of the context, and the passage in First John, taken out of the context. All this comes from refusal to study the doctrines that deal with a new birth, and reach the apprehension of truth that is necessary for the Christian to believe they have victory over sin. The truth is, he is a dead body with a live spirit. He does not live in sin, he lives in Jesus Christ, and the way for victory to overcome the wretched man that he drags around with him, that constantly seeks to run him and rule over him and rule over him, is to believe what God said, reckon himself to be dead indeed under sin, because God said he was. And we'll discuss this more now on our next volume, volume number nine."

Rom 7:1-4: "Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man. Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God."

This amazing video is a literal eye opener as Dr Kim teaches the Real Bible Believer truth about the Tripartite Being of the Christian: Body , Soul and Spirit .
Tripartite being deception by confusing Old Testament Salvation with New Testament Salvation
Various Ministries, in attempting to define the Tripartite being , make the mistake of using a similitude of the Old Testament Tabernacle , and applying it to the body, soul and spirit of a born again saved New Testament Christian . This similitude involves relating the Outer Court to the body, The Holy Place to the soul, and the Holy of Holies to the spirit.

The Old Testament Tabernacle model does not fit the born again New Testament Christian BUT it does fit the Old Testament Saint that did not have the New Birth, and it also relates to an unsaved person today . However, the New Testament Tabernacle , with the torn veil, was a type of a born again saved New Testament Christian that has had the New Birth! At the time of the New Birth, the operation of God was performed ( Spiritual Circumcision Col 2:11 ) spiritually cutting the sinful flesh from the saved Soul. Additionally, the New Birth was not a deliverance from devils in the flesh, but rather a cutting off of the fleshly body from the saved sanctified soul. Therefore, whatever evil spirits that were in the fleshly body before the New Birth are still there in the fleshly body after the New Birth, but the soul is free of devils. But this Old Testament Tripartite similitude model infers that evil spirits can not only gain access to the Outer Court (the Body) but also to the The Holy Place (Soul). This Old Testament Tabernacle similitude is only true for the Old Testament Saints and the unsaved today - BUT after Jesus rent the Tabernacle veil while on the cross (a picture of Spiritual Circumcision) this New Testament Tabernacle similitude does indeed fit the church age Christian now, as we New Testament Christians today have had the New Birth and evil spirits are confined to the flesh and it's Carnal Mind, and do not enter the Christians' soul (or "The Holy Place"). That is why Jesus gave us deliverance, providing a way for believers (of what God says) to clean up our fleshly bodies by casting out devils, thus giving us temporary relief from the enemy until we get our new redeemed devil-free bodies.
Two correct similitude's , or analogies for a born again Christian's Tripartite being are the football and the ice tray (scroll down the page to view) .
==========================================
Dr Kim teaches the real Bible believer truth about the Tripartite Being: Body , Soul and Spirit .
When a Christian gets saved (born again), the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, a "Spirit Baptism", takes place, where the Holy Spirit, by the operation of God, performs a Spiritual Circumcision (Col 2-11), where his sinful flesh is cut loose from his saved soul and his reborn spirit (Heb 4:12). The "Twice Married Woman" in (Romans 7:1-4) also clearly reveals this doctrine. Our soul is likened to a married woman, and our fleshly body is likened to her husband. While the husband is alive, she is bound to her husband by the law. When being born again, The holy spirit slays the old husband (flesh body), and she is free to marry someone else (so she is not an adulterer), and she (the soul) marries Jesus Christ (Holy Spirit). He that is joined to the Lord is one spirit. So now the soul is saved and sinless (1st John 3:9) regarding salvation and eternal security, and no longer subject to the law, but rather under grace. However, the flesh body, now cut free, is still subject to the law. When a Christian sins, he reaps it in his flesh body. Sin bears a price. God chastens his children, so un-confessed sins allow the "tormentors", devils, demons, evil spirits, powers, etc, to have access to the believers body. When the Holy spirit performed this operation "made without hands", this sanctification and separation keeps the Holy Spirit and the devils apart. Until the devils are thrown out by Deliverance, they will produce sickness, torment, drive and harass the Christians body. Read below for the Scriptures.
1 John 3:9 "Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God."
Rom 7:1-4: "Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man. Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God."

Lev 22:4-6 "What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath a running issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean. And whoso toucheth any thing that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him; Or whosoever toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoever uncleanness he hath; The soul which hath touched any such shall be unclean until even, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he wash his flesh with water."
Unsaved people have sin in and on them, and have their souls stuck to their flesh. In the Old Testament when someone touched an unclean thing, not only their flesh, but their soul had sinned (Lev 22:4-6). They had sin in their flesh and sin on their soul, as they were stuck together. They were required to have a blood sacrifice for their soul to be cleansed. Unsaved people today are like that. The devils that are in unsaved people are where the sin is - in their flesh and their soul, as the flesh and soul are joined. The unsaved people, without hope and without Christ, have no authority to get rid of the devils. No Jesus - no deliverance.
Watch Dr Ruckman literally "draw it out" for you in the video below as he teaches on the 3 part being - Body, Soul and Spirit, At the 36:30 minute mark he explains what happens when we get saved and also draws out spiritual circumcision with the "ice tray" example: Saved people only have sin in them (Christ has their sins on Him), and do not have their souls stuck to their flesh. Saved people are spiritually Circumcised at the very instant they accept Jesus Christ. Then they are members of Christ's body, joined to the Lord as the Holy Spirit came and cut (circumcised) the flesh from the soul and spirit. Therefore the Holy spirit does not touch the "unclean thing" as the flesh and soul are separated. The blood sacrifice for our sins has been paid for by Jesus Christ's one time sacrifice on the cross. The devils that are in saved people only affect the flesh, not the soul as they are cut apart, but the devils will imitate the soul as they manifest and produce thoughts, feelings and various emotions in order to torment, drive and harass us. Being saved, we may and should cast out devils from our flesh in Jesus name, which has authority over the devils.

Our Soul gets saved, our Spirit gets reborn, and our flesh is dead in Sin
Heb 4:12 “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart"

The two edged sword "cut", the piercing and the dividing (for the spiritual circumcision) is where the comma is: after the " soul and spirit" , and before "and of the joints and marrow". The "joints and marrow" are clearly not divided from each other, so it's clear and obvious that the "spirit and soul" aren't either. It's right here in plain English. Also, it is sad to note that the fake "bibles" have altered this text, and have blinded many Christians from seeing this essential doctrinal truth.

At the new birth, our spirit and soul are DIVIDED from our flesh (joints and marrow), and our spirit and soul are ADDED to the Holy Spirit (he that is joined to the Lord is one spirit).

Now, this seems obvious to the Bible believer, but there are Christians that are not seeing this truth, and they believe that the cut in Heb 4:12 is between the Spirit and the Soul/Flesh and in this private interpretation these people assume that the devils are in both the flesh and soul, as it was under the law in the Old Testament, and as it is with unsaved people presently.

It is plain to see that Jesse Penn Lewis was deeply influenced by the Revised Version "bible" and the commentators when attempting to understand biblical doctrines, such as the Bible Doctrine of the three part being of man before and after the new birth. The scholars that edited all the various fake "bibles" have messed with bible verses dealing with many Bible doctrines, and by doing so, they destroyed scripture to scripture cross references that God uses to reveal His truths to His children who believes what He says, and yet also to confound and blind these truths to those who do not believe what He says. In the example from Jesse's book up above, it is sad to see that even a minor alteration as presented in the Revised Version reading of Heb 4:12, was enough of a satanic influence to corrupt the beliefs of many Christians. This example shows how the Revised Version reading of Heb 4:12 and the commentators have influenced Jesse Penn Lewis, and how it prevented her from understanding what the real Bible said and comparing scripture with scripture: Col 2:11, Heb 4:12, and the twice married woman in Rom 7:1-4. Examine the book "Spirit And Soul" by Jesse Penn Lewis, page 27, as Jesse quotes Pember and Fausset.
Pember writes "claims for the Word of God, the power of separating, and, as it were, taking to pieces, the whole being of man, spiritual, psychic (soulish), and corporeal, even as the priest flayed and divided limb from limb the animal for the burnt offering...". Permber missed the proper division and just states that all three are divided.
Faucet writes:"The Word of God divides the closely joined parts of man's immaterial being, soul and spirit...". Faucet missed the proper division and mistakenly states the wrong division of soul and spirit, regardless of Col 2:11.
In reading the page from the book above, it is sad that the scholars and the commentators, along with their corrupted fake "bible" - the Revised Version, have assisted in blocking a great saint like Jesse Penn Lewis from understanding this doctrine. In this case, it is the classic Alexandrian error of confusing Old Testament Salvation with New Testament Salvation, and they actually believe that they are the same! They are different. Old Testament Saints did NOT get the new birth, and so were NOT Spiritually Circumcised, so Old Testament Saints had their souls stuck to their bodies. Old Testament Saints did not even go to Heaven at death - Old Testament Saints went to Abraham's Bosom. So, in this case, they falsely believe that the New Testament Saints soul is still stuck to the flesh, as it is with Old Testament Saints.
It is ridiculous to even consider that God would want to DIVIDE our soul from our spirit after He had just JOINED together our soul to the Holy Spirit (Jesus Christ) by marriage at the time of the new birth! Rom 7:1-4. Also, consider the fact that at the time of the new birth the person being saved had a DEAD spirit that needed to be born again, so then why would God divide a dead spirit from a soul when he was going to give life to the spirit? Before being born again the soul wasn't even stuck to the dead spirit, so how can something be divided that was not even stuck together in the first place?!
Consider this: since spirit is likened to wind, or air (John chapter 3), how would God divide a born again quickened spirit from the Christians saved soul? It would be the opposite of inflating air in a tire, so God would have to suck out the air (the spirit) from the soul and create a spiritual vacuum! This is ironically the OPPOSITE of being filled with the spirit!

Even minor edits like deleting the word "asunder", or changing the word "and" to "both", along with believing the Alexandrian commentators, have apparently been enough for God to know that Jesse believed these scholars instead of her believing what God actually said in the real Bible, so He blinded her from knowing and understanding the truth about this doctrine. With these quotes it is plain to see what Dr Peter Ruckman has stated, that all the commentators have missed the Biblical doctrine of Spiritual Circumcision. They don't teach it even today in the universities because they don't believe the Book (the King James Bible) so God slams the door of revelation shut for them and blinds their understanding.
Listen to the first 2 1/2 minutes of Dr Ruckmans commentary on Rom 7: 1-4 explaining spiritual circumcision, and how and why the revisers and scholars missed it! Dr Ruckman - RARE Romans Study #19 Romans 7:3 - 7:20
Col 2:11 "In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: 12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. 13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;"
Devils, or evil spirits, dwell in our flesh, but the Holy Spirit does not (Rom 7:17-18). As Christians we are spiritually circumcised (Col 2:11-13 circumcision without hands) so our spirit and soul is cut loose and free from our flesh (Heb 4:12), and our spirit joins to the Holy Spirit. So when we saved people sin we have sin in us (fleshly body), but not on us (our saved Soul), as Jesus took our sins on Him for us.
Examine the 3 Crosses below, and watch the Dr Ruckman video clip below teaching about Sin "IN and ON" us:

Unsaved people trusted in their own righteousness so they have sin in and on them, and the wages of sin is death, so without God's son they go to Hell. With us, being saved, our flesh sins so this is where the "Old Man" - the (d)evil spirits dwell. We "drive them out of the land." Old testament saints did not have the new birth and spiritual circumcision so when their flesh sinned, (Lev 22:4-6) their soul sinned, and the Holy Spirit could not abide in their bodies. This is the same now in this age with the unsaved - when they (their flesh) sin so does their connected soul sin, as they are a PART of their sins, and are called by the name of their sins (1Cor 6:9). We as Christians can certainly commit every sin that is listed in Rev 21:8 and Gal 5:19-21. For example, a Christian (he is his saved Soul ( 1st John 3:9 )) is not a Liar, or Murderer, or whatever sin committed in the list - but his FLESH is. When a sin is committed, we confess our sins (1John 1:9) for forgiveness to stay in fellowship with our heavenly Father so He won't have to spank (chastise), plus we don't as Christians want any unconfessed sin to show up at the Judgement Seat Of Christ. We, being saved, have a live spirit and soul, but our flesh is reckoned dead and crucified with Christ. Being cut free, our soul does not sin, and our spirit is sealed with the Holy Spirit for our eternal security as we will be presented sinless to the Father when we die, as Jesus paid our debt. The part of us that is born of God, the New Man, does not sin (1John 3:6,9), but the Old Nature, or old Man in the flesh that is subject to the Devil does sin (Rom 7:17-20). So therefore it is a good idea to confess our sins (right after we realize that we sinned against God) to our Heavenly Father in Jesus name and then throw the devils out of ourselves in the name of Jesus. Now, committing a sin does not automatically bring in a devil, just in case one got in, it is worth praying it out. These devils are like flies, if I leave the door open flies will start to come in!

Devils (Demons) & The Effect Of Spiritual Circumcision Of Christians
Two great analogies for understanding our spiritual circumcision in relationship to our 3 part being (body, soul and spirit) are:
1) Football: the outer pigskin represents the fleshly body, the inner tube represents the soul (inner tube has the same shape as the outer pigskin) and the air filled inside represents our spirit. A Saved person has a reborn spirit so it is like a football that is filled with air. An unsaved person is like a flat football - it needs air! An unsaved person is dead in trespasses and sin (since Adams fall he has had a dead spirit), and needs a new birth. As God breathed into Adam, so we need to be born again for our spirit to be quickened alive.
2) Ice Cube Tray: H2o, water represents the Soul and Water, and the tray represents the body. An unsaved person has their body (tray) stuck to their Soul (ice water), while a saved person is like the tray was flexed (circumcised) and the ice cubes broke free of the tray - but they are still in the tray - just not stuck to it! Our Souls are still in our bodies but we are not stuck to them!

Things You Can Lose - Christian! by Dr Ruckman
Eternal Security and What We Can Lose
We cannot lose our salvation being a part of the BODY of Jesus Christ (Eph 5:30, 1Cor 12:13), after being sealed into it permanently by the Holy Spirit (Eph 4:30), but there are things we can lose with unconfessed sin, such as our health, peace, finances, family, etc. We may also lose Eternal Rewards at the Judgement Seat Of Christ. Unconfessed sin and un-broken curses opens the door for devils to steal, kill and destroy. These devils can come into our flesh because we have sinned, and quite possibly enter us through frequencies that pass through us as in radio waves (also microwaves - cell phones and towers) and the like. So it is good to throw (cast) them out frequently. Un-confessed sin is an "open door" for devils to enter the flesh. The evil spirits tempt people to sin by being in the brain and talking (putting voices) in peoples heads and tricking the victims to think that they themselves were creating the voice they heard. After the devil succeeds with tempting the person to sin different types of sins, new doors open up for more different types of devils to enter. They hate us because we Christians are reborn in God's image (losing Adam's image) and because of Jesus's sacrifice in place of us they hate us as they are without hope. They have "legal rights" to harass us as we are all sinners when we break God's laws (sin), and because we have sinned and not confessed to God, these devils that torment us don't have to leave until we confess our sins.
Rom 7:20 "Now I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me,"
Rom 7:24 "O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?"
When we Christians got saved our fleshly body was cut free, but the soul has a bodily shape just like the fleshly body: read the "rich man and Lazarus" Luke 16:23-24, in Hell the rich man's soul has a bodily shape as he has eyes and a tongue. So the Authorized Bible tells us that the soul is not as the Greeks and higher education believe it to be: the shape of a "golf ball". The Bible truth is that the Soul has the same shape as the body, not an unlike shape of a ball! We should decrease (put off the Old Man), and He should increase (put on the New Man), as A Christian should pray for the in-filling of the Holy Spirit to fill the shape of his soul, as the Christians soul is "married", Romans 7:1-4, and joined to the Lord Jesus Christ (he that is joined to the Lord is one spirit). 1 Cor 6:17
There are soul and flesh (physical) counterparts, such as Brain/Mind and the Soul(spiritual) Heart/Physical Heart. The Christians fleshly BODY (the Old Man, where "dwelleth no good thing" Rom 7:18") has a BRAIN and BODILY FEELINGS that think and feel and are easily confused with our circumcised separated SOUL (the New Man) which has the mind of Christ. The flesh body also has THE CARNAL MIND (Romans 8 ) having enmity against God, and this CARNAL MIND is where the devils (demons) operate. It is here that they use Mind Control. A thought can be produced by three sources: 1) I, myself (the real me) - our Soul. 2) The Holy Spirit, or 3) evil spirits (in our CARNAL MIND). So Chistians must "try the spirits", and see if the line up with the Scriptures.
Here is an example: the physical heart in the flesh body, and the heart of your soul. Both can generate emotions that we feel. A hard heart blocks understanding, your treasure is where your heart is, and with the heart we believe. In the un-saved both hearts are spiritually joined together. In the Christian they are divided apart and separated as the Holy Spirit performed the operation of Spiritual Circumcision on the believer. At the time of the New Birth, when we ask Jesus to come into our heart, the Holy spirit comes in (Spiritual Circumcision) and joins Himself to our spirit and to the heart of our soul while cutting off the sinful fleshly body. At the time of the New Birth the Holy Spirit does not go into nor join to the physical heart located in the Christian's flesh, as this is where the evils spirits reside and have an abode (as well as every other body part including the BRAIN), "For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing" Rom 7:18. The soul and the fleshly body superimpose one over another (the soul has a bodily shape, like a ghost) and inhabit the same space, and the Christian's reborn live spirit fills the soul like air in an inflated tire. The soul is the "real you". Since we can only have one thought at only given time, the thought came come from any one of these three parts, and we have the choice of whether to "adopt" the thought or not. After the new birth, the soul is cut from the fleshly body, but joined to the Holy Spirit of God, so we can henceforth "put on the mind of Christ" so the Holy Spirit (now part of our spirit and wed to our soul), can provide thoughts. The Carnal Mind, which is located in the body (flesh) provides thoughts from the brain and evil spirits. We need to check the source of our thoughts.

Generally there is difficulty, of various degrees, in manifesting our soul through to our flesh, due to the opposition of the Carnal Mind, and various possible physical damage in the brain and flesh. Technically how spiritual circumcision is defined by the Bible is what we need to learn. Our Souls gets saved, but our bodies (flesh) are reckoned dead. Romans chapter 7:24 "...who shall deliver me from the BODY of this death?".
Thank God we are in the Church age now, and for a saved person the Bible is clear about where the cut is: between the Spirit/Soul and Flesh and hence devils can only inhabit the flesh. 1st John fits this teaching with the soul not sinning, but the flesh does (also Romans chapter 7). Thus, the Soul is indeed saved - for salvation and eternal security, but since we walk in the flesh, we will reap what we sow in the flesh, with the exception of confessing sins and casting the devils out. Being in the search for absolute truth, ultimately you should research and compare scripture with scripture, for the Holy Spirit, the author of the scriptures, to reveal this and other truths to you, as this doctrine is very important to study.
Thanks be to God that He gives us a new glorified body at the rapture!
