My new question

[Stylez4Christ]

How do we know we got the Holy Spirit right now, even if you got the holy spirit with you in church but what about outside of church. I find it confusing because I got brother Eddie from school asking that question but I answered it and for him it was not the right question at all but they gave me a little clue that has to do with connection and relationship? :embarasse That kind of made me feel like I don't know nothing about my Christian walk when not knowing what there talking about, it is kind a embarrass for me as a Christian to not knowing. But hey, I’m still learning as a pretty young Christian…:shade:

Every believer is sealed with the Holy Spirit.

Romans 8:9
"But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his." KJV

If you don't have the Holy Spirit in you, you're not of Christ. That doesn't mean we always obey the Holy Spirit though. We struggle with flesh, but if we submit to the Spirit, we'll always overcome the flesh.

I hope this helped you, Stylez. God Bless

 

[Mark of Faith]

Sealed or Filled

I think it is a good question, and please do not be embarrassed to ask.

I think there is a difference between being sealed with the Holy Spirit and being filled.

"Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come" 2 Cor 1:21-22 NIV.

If we are truly born again, the Holy Spirit is always in our hearts.

However, to be "filled" is somewhat different. I can have the Holy Spirit in my heart, but not be aware of it. Ephesians 5:18b says: "Be filled with the Spirit." NIV.
The Greek word used here, translated as "be filled" is, to coin a linguistic term, a "present continuous" tense. Literally it means "Be filled and go on being filled."

I like a way it was described to me. If I am filled with the Spirit, it is like a glass of water...it overflows and fills other glasses, and the first glass of water needs to be filled again.

Hope that helps.

Love in Christ,

Mark.

That’s a good one, Don't get drunk in wine but be filled in the spirit, I'm pretty sure being filled in the spirit means to walk in the spirit but drunk in wine is like saying walking in the Flesh or walking worldly. I know I go to a type a church where they say I am "drunk in the spirit" but to me it is a different story even it is not that different but it is a type a manifestation where you feel kind of drunk accept it may not have that much as the same drunk of alcohol or but what it is in understanding, it has a unbalance to stand of your body is kind of like waking up sudden in the middle of the night of that reaction because of a deep peace sleep feeling which is to me is the same way as resting in the spirit or falling to the ground by the fire of God.

There are different Pentecostal churches and all are seem pretty different or sometimes very different but the one type a Pentecostal church where people say they are drunk in the spirit but acting like there drunk of alcohol like “Toronto Blessing” don’t seem to look right at all and seem out of order and being silly, it might make me laugh then to me I guest God might look at them funny and he might not be please just to look like worldly people at the bar drunk, the church is not a bar but I‘m sorry is not lol Hashanaha we are to look different from the world, amen… I don’t go to that kind of Pentecostal church which that one pentecostal church that I go to may well take it pretty serious and I guest many people think that pentecostal is just pentecostal but it really not it is just a movement but there different pentecostal denomination which some people make think it is the same but is not. The word “drunk in the Spirit” is just a man made name just like the word “Trinity” for an example, but it is simply just a name for that type of manifestation which to me is no different. The Holy Spirit come upon us like a dove, that dose sound pretty when I hear that.. But manifestation should be something that heal us, strengthen us, cleanse or being purified us or other things that God will for our life even being filled in the Spirit which I understand being possesses or ownership by God but not Satan which is the worldly people, they need Jesus hehehehehehee lol….. The End….

You receive the Holy Spirit the moment you accept Jesus in your heart as Saviour. The Holy Spirit dwells within you. The Holy Spirit convicts us, encourages us, comforts us, directs us, protects us and more.

That is similar to what I answered to him but he said no to that one too….
