The Letters To The Churches

[Huntingteckel]

Being born of the Spirit makes you a child of God. Being filled with the Spirit is for power so you can do what God calls you to do.

Act 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

And that has to be through spiritual gifts?

 

[CCW95A]

And that has to be through spiritual gifts?

Spiritual gifts are given as the Holy Spirit wills, not as we will. Being filled with the Spirit is something we will to have, and to be constantly filled at all times. All Christians can expect the Holy Spirit to use them when he wills to.
