    Acts of the Apostles 9:18
    And immediately something like fish scales fell from his eyes, and he regained his sight, and he got up and was baptized;

    The question is when was Paul filled with the Holy Spirit?

    Are we indwelt and sealed before we are spiritually transferred into Christ or afterward? Afterward.

    What does God utilize as a factor when choosing someone for salvation. Faith in the truth. Sol before Paul was spiritually relocated into Christ, God credited his faith as righteousness.

    I expect most will agree Paul sat around for three days pondering how to serve the risen Christ. Was he committed to Christ superficially, or was he probably fully committed based on his subsequent ministry? Full Committed to Christ.

    Is the baptism mentioned in the verse a reference to his spiritual baptism into Christ or his obedient water baptism afterwards? I do not know.

    In Acts 22:16, we see that Paul had not yet been saved, as he had not yet called upon the name of the Lord. So again, we have a 3 day period for Paul to meditate on God's appeal to be reconciled to God.
