Anointings / Empowerings

Perhaps it cannot entirely be resolved. But the real issue seems to be that anointings, empowerings, "comings upon" and the like differ from and must not be confused with that ongoing indwelling that begins with the new birth. They may coincide with the new birth (see Acts 11:15), or they may follow it. They may occur once or many times, or perhaps not at all.
