Filled with the Holy Spirit

Christians who are truly born again are filled with the Holy Spirit. God's Spirit comes to regenerate the spirit of the Christian so that he/she becomes alive spiritually. It's like having a new spirit on the inside that can enter heaven. Sins are washed & the Christian is saved forever by God's grace. He/she is sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise. He/she can't possibly lose his/her salvation so easily. A true Christian won't want to sin. He/she hates sin where once he/she indulges in sin. A repented & changed life is a hallmark of a Christian. If one who claims to be a Christian shows no change in life or attitude or behaviour for the better, I would doubt their salvation. But God understands. He is ever gracious.

How does the Holy Spirit come? From heaven into men's deepest spirit. Sometimes people could speak in tongues. Sometimes people will be given gifts of the Holy Spirit like prophecy, miracles etc. But to speak in tongues is not a prerequisite of Holy Spirit baptism. Christians are immediately filled with the Spirit upon salvation, never to lose it until he/she renounces his/her faith. But God is ever so gracious. Be saved & be filled with the Holy Spirit. He who has the Spirit has life, he who doesn't have the Spirit doesn't have life. & this is life eternal. Why not accept His grace right now?
