Christians, could you tell me about the experience you had when you first received the holy spirit?

I am trying to put reigns on my mouth, actions, and beliefs. I must please God and then he will keep his promises to me and all I really want is for him to love me for all eternity.

For me it happened all at once. Clarity of everything. No one talked to me, just the gift of understanding. It was like a brick hit me. The odd thing was I was drunk, I sat in my bed and booom. I wish everyone would get the understanding. I remember it all clearly still to this day. This event happened about 10 years ago.

Nope.

This explains your confusion.

2 Cor 3:16-4:5
the veil is removed in CHRIST.
whenever a person turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
the Lord is THE SPIRIT.
we preach JESUS CHRIST as Lord,"

The Lord (Christ) IS THE SPIRIT.

He doesn't "have the spirit". There IS NO "Non-Jesus" "Holy Spirit".

Idolater.

Ezekiel 37:14
I will put My Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I, the LORD, have spoken, and I will do it, declares the LORD.

1 Cor 15:45
The Scriptures tell us, “The first man, Adam, became a living person.” But the last Adam—that is, Christ—is a life-giving Spirit.

CHRIST is "My Spirit" in Ezekiel 37:14, NOT whatever/whoever it is you believe.

So God gives you the ability to speak in other languages as necessary to share the gospel?

Don't worry my friend. Thanks for correcting me. We are not perfect, but with God everything is possible. I'm just walking meat without God. I'm thanking Him every day for His gift, my life. Our souls are good when we come to this world. But every human being has body, soul and spirit. And we decide what spirit lives in us. Every spirit has its fruits, evil spirits have evil fruits (bad words, anger, arguing, hate, jealousy, etc), Holy Spirit has good fruits. And that's how you can find out what spirit is in people

Galatians 5:22-23
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

Matthew 12:33 King James Version (KJV)
33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.

Now all were thinking about John in their hearts, and the people were supposing that perhaps he might be the Christ.

John responded by saying to everyone: “Indeed, I baptize you with water. But there will arrive one stronger than me [his future reincarnation that he knew not], the laces of whose shoes I am not worthy to loosen. He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit, and with fire.

His winnowing fan is in his hand. And he will purify his threshing floor. And he will gather the wheat into the barn. But the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.” - Luke 3:16-17

GET IN!.

What language did you speak

and what good did it do?

Yes,along with interpretation of Tongues he gift is very useful for evangelism.

Interpretation of Tongues is equal to prophecy. And prophecy is the testimony of Jesus.

This video is not the righteousness of God.

"The Spirit bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God." Romans 8:16

All those who have truly given their lives to Christ are indwelt by the Holy Spirit.

Marvel not........you must be born again.........born of the Spirit.


For children of God.........Christ becomes their first love.
That is the question to ask yourself......to see if you are in the faith.

Christ: "He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me." Matthew 10: 37

For a person who repents and gives their life to Christ.....they are indwelt by the Holy Spirit......and Christ becomes their first love. No work involved.....it just happens. You are now connected to God thru the Holy Spirit that has come to live inside you.

You can ask with your whole heart to the Lord Jesus Christ to save you......and to fill you with the Holy Spirit.

Although all real Christians are indwelt by the Spirit, it is possible to quench the Spirit thru sin. That is why Scripture tells Christians "Do not quench the Spirit."

It is a daily decision.....to walk in the Spirit......or to walk in the flesh (and quench the Spirit). Ask God daily for help with this.

This is true but is it the same for everyone?

The Holy Spirit will always exalt Christ and His finished work. Language is not a barrier for God. His people will hear His voice.

1 Corinthians 13
13 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

Do I need God to babble in a "unknown tongue"?

Yes or No? Of course not. No.

Do I need God's Holy Spirit to overtake me to speak in a language I do not know to bear witness of Christ to another in their language that I do not know?

Yes or No? Of course! Yes!


Why do people wish to approve themselves otherwise?

You can speak in your tongue right now.

Is it the Holy Spirit?

Laughable, so many false prophet nutcases in here.

Forget about the Holy Spirit, I'm gonna baptized you with unquenchable FIRE!.

By the way OP, if you arr near Hot Springs Arkansas, come to a campmeeting.

You will see the gifts of the Holy Spirit in operation and experience the presence of God.

They have an extensive library of teachings available online about the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

I was I think 16. Went to a youth retreat that my mom made me go to. They had a night church service and during what they call "adoration" I suddenly felt like my entire body was idk, tingling maybe....very hard to describe... and I could not stop crying. It was pretty intense. I wasnt seeking it. In fact, had it been my choice I never would have gone on that retreat. God is amazing

Again, since some people don't answer when the Truth convicts them...

What language was it?

Jesus Christ is The Righteousness of God.

Why has no one mentioned handling snakes?

No you do not need the Holy Spirit to babble in an unknown tongue.

However, if you want to receive the genuine gift of tongues, you definitely need the Holy Spirit to do so.

And to overcome the world you definitely need the Holy Spirit.

Jesus said the ask the Father for the Holy Spirit.

A believer yields to the Holy Spirit.

Hi AC420,

I have had a similiar dream.


I was walking through a beautiful meadow when a strong wind in the shape of a hand picks me up and carries me up into the sky. I know that a question is asked of me and I respond with the word "Life".

No answers.

Matthew 7:22-23 Modern Christians are told the truth about antichrist jesus caesar borgia of Rome and their fake "Holy Spirit":

"Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."


To lie about having "The Holy Spirit" is proof you don't have it and it can never be acheived under a Roman name and image pretending to be The Messiah.

No answers.


Truth.

It's amazing how many people that claim to believe in God

and post about the things of God

and supposedly would care most about the truth,

yet they never answer...

Because after The Disciples were martyred antichrist became "The Holy Spirit."

Christ and His finished work at Calvary is the only righteousness that God will accept. All self righteousness is as filthy rags in His holy sight.

And then you get this...
