Bible Question:
In previous postings, no one was questioning what word ("filled") was used in Scripture. The implied question is: What does the word "filled" MEAN? What good does it do anyone to quote the words of the Bible, if they don't know what those words mean? . . . "DEFINITION: Being filled means being controlled by the Spirit (Eph 5:18)." . . . My question for Ray is: If "being filled" does not mean "being controlled by", then what does it mean? YOU TELL ME: IN *one or two words*, WHAT DOES "BEING FILLED" MEAN? . . . ONE OR TWO WORDS, please. This is a simple question that does not require a 300-word essay. Can you or can you not answer my simple question as I asked it? |
Bible Answer: Joh 14:17 "the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and WILL BE IN YOU. (disciples will recieve indwelling of HS) Joh 20:22 And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit. (disciples recieve indwelling of HS) Act 1:5 "for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now." (promise of filling of HS) Remember the diciples already have HS living in them, but they are not FILLED. Act 1:8 "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; (promise of filling of HS) Act 2:4 And they were all FILLED with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. (filling of HS) |
