I read this verse to say that the renewing of your mind allows you to prove what is the good, acceptable and perfect will of God. When I fellowship I do so in my spirit, hence the objectionable expression “hey brother, get out of your mind” but that does not mean that I don’t use my mind when I fellowship. The mind should be under the direction of the spirit. An unrenewed mind would suggest carrying the ark of the covenant in an ox cart instead of by the levitical priesthood. An unrenewed mind would suggest lying to a maid about knowing Jesus. An unrenewed mind would rebuke the Lord for saying that He must be crucified.

Again, I think this verse supports my case. It establishes that transformation is a matter of the mind being renewed. That to me means we learn to think differently (of course, as taught by the Spirit and the Word). What else would mind renewal mean except that our thinking is changed?
