Here's another thought.....
Surely the active obedience of Christ is not only necessary for our justification but also for the receiving of the Spirit (The Holy Spirit indwelling a person) Eph 1:13 Acts 2:38. If the law is ordained to life Rom 7:10 then it most be perfectly fufilled in order to enter into eternal life. In redemption the gift of eternal life is giving to the elect by the Spirit. If we do have a postive imputation of Christ righteousness then how can the HOLY Spirit indwell someone as the pledge of the future inheritance?
Is this a valid argument?
