I believe Brother Blume has answered your questions in his last post, better than I.

the spirit is that which is born again, not the soul. It is the part of us that communes with God, has intuition and is what cries out to worship in us. The soul is the natural mind with the human will and intelligence and emotions.

Spirit and soul can be divided by the word, so they're not the same thing. Heb 4:12.
I'll show some scriptures later to relate this understanding.

"...but we have the mind of Christ."

Very well put, Brother Blume. THANK YOU!

The spirit man is what is "born again"; it is the soul (mind) that must be "...transformed
by the renewing of our minds...": and the mind of Christ is the process of the transformation.

YES! Man (the spirit-man) is the holiest place for the Lord. The soul (breath of life) is that
which gives thought, will, and life to the body. So just as man (the spirit-man) cannot live
without God's Spirit through the preaching of the gospel, the body could not live without the SOUL.

"...we will come unto him, and make our abode with him."
