How is one filled with the Holy Spirit?
Christian response,
If you desire to be filled with the Holy Spirit, trust – believe in Jesus Christ as your Messiah, trust in Jesus as the One who died to pay your sin-debt and you will receive the infilling of the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13-14). From that time forward, the power and anointing of the Holy Spirit in your life is contingent upon how much of your yourself, your personal will, you’re willing to surrender to the will of the Father for your life and exercise the spiritual gift(s) He has given you in response to your faith (1 Corinthians 12); spiritual gifts that are to be faithfully exercised for the Father’s eschatological plan for Time and Eternity.
The infilling of the Holy Spirit is not manifest through the Church, Pastors, Teachers, Preachers, the laying-on of hands; the infilling of the Holy Spirit is Gifted you as the Spirit is the Guarantor of covenant with the Father when you trust in Jesus Christ as your Messiah; this, by covenant promise (Ephesians 1:13-14; Ezekiel 36:27).
