What's disturbing is many here don't believe you need Holy Ghost infilling to be saved. The only requirement is to repent before you plane crashes, and you're on your way to glory.
Ephesians 1:13-15
13)In .....ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
14) Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
The bible reads the Holy Ghost is the earnest of our inheritance until the day of redemption, we are sealed with the Holy Ghost.
But hey, what do you expect from a fast-food generation? |
I have heard people use this scripture to support the "once saved, always saved" argument too.
It's the kindness of the Lord that leads one to repentance. Just because a person prays and says, "Lord, I'm sorry. Please forgive me--" that doesn't mean that they have truly repented.
God draws a person to faith and repentance, not situations. If God doesn't draw you, fast death or slow death, you will die in your sins.
Repentance is commanded.
Baptism is commanded.
The Holy Ghost is PROMISED-- all I can do is seek God and wait for Him to bless me with His Promise. I can't just make up my mind and go do it.
