How is one filled with the Spirit? The teaching quoted here is the closest I can come to answering the question WITH proper Scripture support and documentation. It does not give a FORMULA for being filled with the Spirit -- no such formula exists. What it does give are scriptural CONDITIONS for being filled. Grace to you, Kalos ____________________ X. THE FILLING OF THE SPIRIT. B. CHARACTERISTICS. 1) Filling is commanded (Eph 5:18, the verb is imperative). 2) Filling is repeated (Acts 2:4; 4:31). 3) Filling produces Christlikeness (Gal 5:22-23). C. CONDITIONS FOR BEING FILLED. 1) *A dedicated life*. Yielding to the Spirit's control, though commanded, is voluntary and necessitates an act of dedication. This includes two aspects: initial dedication (Rom 12:1-2) and continual dedication of one's life (Rom 8:14). 2) *An undefeated life*. Victory over sin in daily experience is necessary in being controlled by the Spirit (Eph 4:30). This means responding to the light of the Word as it is continually revealed (1 John 1:7). 3) *A dependent life* (Gal 5:16). D. CONSEQUENCES. Being filled or controlled by the Spirit means: 1) A Christlike character (Gal 5:22-23). 2) Worship and praise (Eph 5:18-20). 3) Submissiveness (Eph 5:21). 4) Service (John 7:37-39).'

so here in this room their is some people fearing for their lives after Jesus was crucified feeling probably very much alone until The Holy Spirit came upon them, then WOW! i'm thinking this filling of The Holy Spirit is probably hard to explain and very much needed to have victory over self. | ||||||
