NASB | Galatians 5:16 ¶ But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Galatians 5:16 ¶ But I say, walk habitually in the [Holy] Spirit [seek Him and be responsive to His guidance], and then you will certainly not carry out the desire of the sinful nature [which responds impulsively without regard for God and His precepts]. |
Bible Question: Can you lived a "holy spirit" life without the evidence of speaking in tongue? |
Bible Answer: Hello MsDeezy, In answer to your question, Yes. All believers receive the Spirit upon conversion ( 1 Cor. 12:13) Here are a couple of verses to back this: 1. Eph 1:13 "In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation--having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise," (NASB) So, the believer is sealed in Him. 2. Col. 2:6 "Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him," (NASB) How did we "receive Him"? By faith. So, we are to walk by faith in Him! While there is disagreement on the gifts, tongues in and of itself has nothing to do with living a "spirit-filled" life! We walk by faith, not sight! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
