This message explains the biblical difference between the baptism and the filling of the Holy Spirit. At conversion, every believer is baptized by the Spirit… sealed, assured, and brought into Christ’s body. The filling of the Spirit is an ongoing, repeatable empowerment for Christlikeness and bold witness as we yield, obey, worship, pray, and live on mission. Scripture also warns us not to quench the Spirit by neglecting these means of grace or pursuing sin.
Every Christian has the Holy Spirit living inside them, but not every Christian is living empowered by the Spirit.
