Many Christians believe that the Holy Spirit never leaves you. The Holy Spirit is love. Even if you push the Holy Spirit away, it will be there waiting for you to change your mind.
Another View:
Biblically speaking, yes. After we are 'begotten,' we can weaken and fall back to our sinful ways, seeking the physical 'pleasures' rather that developing the 'spiritual' growth:
Hebrews 10:26-28New International Version (NIV)
26 If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, 27 but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God. 28 Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
No. The Holy Spirit is present with each believer in Christ and will continue to be while there are believers.
Jesus said he would leave the Holy Spirit with the disciples to guide and empower them to continue his work after he ascended to heaven.
Say 'I invite the holy spirit in' and the holy spirit will come in
I'm not sure about your question, but Jesus promised not to leave his apostles, but would remain as the holy spirit with them.
The Holy Spirit is sometimes described as a still, small voice. If we are constantly bombarded by the "noise" of life, we can miss it's message to us.We can put ourselves in situations where the spirit can not dwell with us. The spirit is holy, and no unclean thing can dwell in holiness. If we continue purposefully in sin, with no intent to repent or improve, the spirit can leave indefinitely.
Holy Spirit namesThe Holy Spirit is also called the Comforter, Paraclete, Spirit of Truth, and the AdvocateOther names for the Holy Spirit are:- Holy Ghost, Spirit of promise, Revelator, Sanctifier, Spirit of the Lord, Spirit of truth, Comforter and Messenger of the Lord.
There isn't actually a Scripture in the Bible that says that. But only true Christians possess the Holy Spirit within them (I Corinthians 6:19) and he will continue to be in them and not leave. Unbelievers do not have the Holy Spirit in them. In the Old Testament the Holy Spirit would come upon certain people whom God wanted to use, but generally the Holy Spirit did not abide in any person.
Fire is one of the symbols of the Holy Spirit and when the disciples were Confirmed, they were showered with the Holy Spirit. Therefore, the tongues of flames symbolize the Holy Spirit.
Holy Spirit, Holy Ghost, Paraclete, Comforter...
Christians believe that the Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Trinity. God the Father, and God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. This would make the Holy Spirit a He. Through out Scripture the attributes of God and a real person are attributed to the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is a He and not an it.
