Summary
Are you a Spirit-filled Christian? Depending on your background, that’s a loaded question. So, which viewpoint is correct? Who has the right answer? Chip explores this controversial topic.
Main Points Clarifying the terminology: Baptism does not equal Filling:- The Baptism of the Spirit - “The non-experiential, unrepeated work of the Holy Spirit at regeneration whereby we are placed into the Body of Christ.” F.F. Bruce -Acts 2, 1 Corinthians 12:13, Romans 8:9
- The Filling of the Spirit - “The unobstructed, or unhindered, control or influence of the Spirit upon the believer’s life.” C. Ryrie -Acts 2:4, 4:8, 4:31, 6:3, 6:5, 6:55, 9:17, 11:24, 13:9, 13:52
- The issue is not getting more of the Holy Spirit, it’s Him getting more of you.
- We are never told to seek an experience or gift as evidence of being filled with the Holy Spirit.
- The conditions for being filled are: Obedience, dedication, yieldedness to God and His Word. -Romans 12:1-2, Undefeated life (dealing with known sin) -Romans 6:12-13, Dependent life -John 15, Galatians 5:16
- The key perspective: It is relationship, not mechanical.
