Bible Question:
Hi all, I checked the Search mechanism, but didn't really get the info I was looking for - so maybe it's time to bring up the subject again. What are anyone's views on the difference between the indwelling (at the time of receiving Jesus as Lord and Savior) and infilling (at the time of asking for it) of the Holy Ghost? All thoughts are welcome, please blessings cheri |
Bible Answer: High cheri, God's best to you this fine Lords day.This has been a much discussed subject on the forum over the time I've been on the forum. A question I might pose for your consideration in light of Acts 2:38 is there any difference. Why would we need to ask God for something we already have? We have no more or less Of the Holy Spirit now than we did the day we were saved. What I might sugjest is that you do a word study on words such as recieve,fill,ect. study out Acts chapter two for starters.This is a good starting point when dealing with this subject. It helps to go back to the beginning,oft times it will help us to find the most foundational material on what we are researching.I hope this helps.Let us know what you learn. In Him, lionheart |
