    Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed?

    I believe in this day and time people have their own personal motivation and ego confused with the actual Holy Spirit. Human ego is not Holy Spirit. If Paul were to return in this time he would ask the same question, 'Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed?"

    I was raised Baptist. Back in those days we use to go to Christian conference and the guys looked like gentlemen and the girls looked like ladies.The word was preached with conviction and would make you want to pray.

    I can only say that I received spiritual experience. Our Pentecostal Holiness church conducted its service in identical methods as the Methodist did in the 1800s. Back in those days they would encourage you to seek sanctification, and once received, they would tell you that the baptism was not...

    Speaking in tongues and preaching in another language are two different things. For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. - 1 Corintheans 14:2

    I would say that there are even tongue talking Christians who aren't Spirit filled. The Holy Spirit is not accompanied with human ego! For the actual Holy Spirit to come shining through the flesh has got to be mortified! 5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication...

    The Spirit of God is a Spirit of truth. 21 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the Lord hath not spoken? 22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet...

    Use to love to sing the old song, accompanied with much shouting... I have found His grace is all complete, He supplieth every need; While I sit and learn at Jesus’ feet, I am free, yes, free indeed. Refrain: It is joy unspeakable and full of glory, Full of glory, full of glory; It is joy...
