In this second part of our discussion on The Timing of the Sealing of the Holy Spirit, Michael Durham revisits the influential teachings of Martyn Lloyd-Jones and respectfully examines his view that the sealing of the Spirit is a post-conversion experience disconnected from conversion. While deeply appreciative of Lloyd-Jones’ impact and insight, this episode challenges the notion of a two-tier Christianity, arguing instead that Scripture presents the sealing of the Spirit as an immediate, conversion-linked work—an inseparable part of receiving the Holy Spirit at the moment of faith. With careful attention to Ephesians 1:13, 2 Corinthians 1:22, and Romans 8:9, we explore the biblical teaching that every believer is indwelt, empowered, and sealed when they trust Christ.

This episode also addresses the deeper questions surrounding Christian maturity, spiritual stagnation, and the troubling presence of professing believers who show little evidence of regeneration. We examine how different movements have attempted to explain this disparity and propose that both a lack of true conversion and shallow teaching on the Spirit’s ministry contribute to the confusion. Ultimately, we return to the Scriptures, affirming that the sealing of the Holy Spirit is not a privilege for the few, but the birthright of every child of God. Join us as we continue to pursue clarity, conviction, and the real truth that matters.
