Filled with the Spirit

Filled with or Baptized by
The Holy Ghost?

In Acts 2:4 KJV Holy Writ saith, “They were filled by the Holy Ghost,” not you will be filled by Him. The phrase “filled by” is found 73 times in its entirety.

However, baptized by the Holy Ghost cannot be found.

The believer is filled by the Holy Ghost at the moment of his/her salvation. He resides in the believer permanently although sin will sever that believer’s fellowship but not his/her position in Christ. Were it otherwise, or if salvation once obtained could be lost. salvation would not be salvation.

This conclusion might be considered argumentative but it is not intended in that manner.

It is important that a new believer be taught his/her identity with Jesus Christ and the Grace resulting from “so great a salvation.”

We all need to be like the Bereans, who read and searched the Scriptures to see if “those things which we have heard are true.”
