I believe that Jesus Christ is King of Kings, and Lord of Lords, the first-born from the dead, and the first-born of all creation, and that he is the only way to salvation and the Kingdom of Heaven.
I would think that conviction makes a Christian.
If so, I assure you that I do not have the Holy Spirit in me, and never have, ...but i wish that I was humble and faithful enough to receive it, but i am just not.
And I have yet to meet a Christian either, face to face, or on this forum, that exudes such wisdom and grace that they can justifiable assert that they have the Holy Spirit in them too.
I'm not disparaging people, but just stating a demonstrable fact! I hope that you all receive true power and wisdom that truly, and undeniably, comes from the Holy Spirit, ...like in the book of Acts, ...otherwise, I don't want to hear about it.
