Subject: some people say you must speak in tongue |
Bible Note: Hi EdB, You wrote, "When we are saved we are filled/given/baptized in the Holy Spirit, we have it all." Can we talk about the semantics of that for a minute? Later in the paragraph you said that "He is complete in us"; so the "it all" is the Holy Spirit Himself. That is what I hear jcsavs saying also, that is, that we are filled with God Himself, the Gift. Is that the general teaching of the charismatic or pentecostal believer? You referenced 1 Cor 14, but the "spirit" of that chapter, the five words of instruction from the mind, are a lower case spirit that speaks mysteries. 1 Cor 14:2-19. For a reminder of how I see these things see #143816. I would say that we are filled/given/bapized in the holy spirit, and we have it all. He gives us the spirit without measure. John 3:34.
