You have said that the indwelling doesn't happen until justification by faith. How does Christ get in you? How do you become righteous?.....By Faith!

Faith, Righteousness, Indwelling, spirit come alive because of these!!!!!
Faith with love for your neighbor. 1 Cor 13:2

To have all that kissy and huggy love" (English aspect) for my friend elman is o.k.; however I think elman would rather one just agapes him? Just ol' unlovable Jack. btw I think Rom.8 is directed to those "for those in Christ Jesus" (8:1) (chapters 5-8 are for those "having been declared righteous," ie, Holy Spirit already indwelling) that have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and declared "righteous" in light of Rom.8:30 where the others just excluded themselves looking for an eternal supply of pain pills.
