I don't believe anyone can be filled with the Holy Ghost without the application of the blood as I mentioned earlier. I do agree with you in that the application of the blood is an ongoing process as you referenced in 1 John 1:7, the blood of Christ cleanseth us from all sins. (cleanseth refers to an ongoing process) |
It STARTS at repentance, yes. But, as you agreed, it is ONGOING.
