I decided to take some questions about the relationship between soul and spirit , both confusingly and used in sermons of the brethren. Based in the text of renowned teacher of systematic theology, theologian Wayne Grudem. I prepared a resume and hope to share with siblings.
God created us to have unity between body and soul, pointing out that Scripture teaches that there is an immaterial part of human nature. Often the words soul and spirit are used interchangeably, for example, in John 12:27, John 13:21, Luke 1:46,47. There is clear evidence of a poetic repetition using words with synonyms, but different.
Wayne also mentions that there is the interchangeability of terms that justify the person who died and gone to heaven or hell and can be called "spirits." Hebrews 12:23: 1 Pet 3:19; AP 6.9 and AP 20.4.
Can still be observed, that man should be seen as "body and soul" as "body and spirit": Mt 10:28, 1 Cor 5.5, Ti 2.26; 1 Cor 7.1. in all the examples cited both soul and spirit refers to the totality of a person's immaterial existence, of our existence.
Do not mention the soul existing separately from the spirit as well as everything that is said is that the soul is also that the spirit does, and vice verse.
The trichotomists have difficulties in defining what is the difference between soul and spirit. Given that Scripture does not seem to allow such a distinction is made, is not mentioned that the activities of thinking, feeling and decisions are performed only for the soul. Our spirit may also experience emotions: Acts 17:16, John 13:21 and Proverbs17:22.
Moreover, the functions of knowing, perceiving and thinking can also be performed by our spirit, Mc 2.8, Rom 8:16, 1 Corinthians 2:11. All this confirms that both the soul and spirit are terms used to describe the intangible side of people in general, it is difficult to see any real distinction in the use of these terms. Neither found in the Bible that the spirit in us is the element that relates directly to God in worship and prayer. See the relation of the soul in Ps 25.1, Luke 1.46. As these excerpts 1Sa 1:15; Deuteronomy 6:5; Mark 12:30, the soul can worship God, praise Him, and render him thanks. Both are used to discuss every aspect of our relationship with God.
According to the view trichotomist usually sees is the purest spirit wnat the soul, when renovated, free of sin is responding to the promptings of the Spirit. However, this understanding (that sometimes finds its place in the preaching and writings popular Christian) have not really support the biblical text. See 2Co 7.1; 1 Cor 7:34, Deut 2:30; 78.8 sl; Proverbs 16:18, Ecclesiastes 7.8; Is 29.24; Dn 5:20; Prov 16.2 (suggesting the possibility of sin in our spirit - see sl 32.2 and 51.10).

Wayne Grudem concludes by saying: "It's much better to understand that Jesus was accumulating synonymous terms to demonstrate emphatically that we should love God with our whole being. Also in 1 Thessalonians 5:23, Paul is not saying that the soul and spirit are separate entities, but simply that, whatever name we can give our immaterial part, he wants God to continue to sanctify us completely for the day of Christ.
