Jesus died so we could become new creatures in Him. This is only possible through His Spirit
Appears to me he was speaking to any man who would come after Him (follow Him).
Using your past logic, since you are not from Corinth, you are not entitled
Yes
Its addressed to the Church. Every believer today is immersed into the ' body ' ,so as i am part of the body ,it is addressed to me far more than verses addressed to Israel in the OT
So it sounds like you think Jesus died to give us an ' opportunity ' to be saved.
If you have already ' Romans 10,9 ' then you have already found Jesus . He hadn't Gone to the cross yet ,but he has now . Salvation isn't achieved by ' following Jesus ' ,it s believing the gospel.
Which is recieved upon believing on Jesus ,death burial and resurrection for our sins according to the Scriptures. Its a one time event not a instalment scheme. We don't have partial new creature Christians walking around.
Without his spirit no one today will be glorified. The Holy Spirit permanently indwell s until the Adoption which is defined as the redemption of the body. Rom 8.23
"For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat
For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil." Please explain the concern here
I'm curious to know if you personally are making any effort to walk in the Spirit?

"Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; "
Isn’t it written to Christians? Only Christians know Jesus.
Hebrews 1:1-2
God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world.

2 Timothy 3:16
All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness.

it is clearly written to Christians as are all the books of the New Testament
Maturing as believers. But that doesn't effect the ' spiritual resurrection that has taken place. What we do with our time and resources matters ,but it doesn't change our ' regeneration ' and sealing by the Holy spirit .
