The Importance of Spiritual People

Paul's most basic use of the term spiritual is to refer to true Christians who have the Holy Spirit. Paul doesn't call somebody spiritual because their spirit is especially active or because they have an unusual preoccupation with mystical things, spiritual things. They are spiritual in the sense that they were created by the Holy Spirit and are indwelt and formed by the HolySpirit. The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him.
