But everyone received the HS. (My point)Not everyone. Only a few received the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Receiving the spirit as a seal, and getting all the gifts is not the same

In John 14 Jesus had not yet been crucified what Jesus said after the Resurrection when he appeared to the disciples in John 20:22When Jesus ascended into heaven he said he would send the Comforter. The Comforter is the Holy Spirit the apostles were filled with. This is the third person of the Trinity. We receive Christ into our life when we accept Him as our Lord and Saviour but the Comforter has more blessings to bestow upon us.
The gifts of the Holy Spirit for those who seek them, are an additional empowerment for those who seek to be further used by God in the furtherance of His work, to His glory.

many do not understand the work of the Holy Spirit is two fold in this wayWhen Jesus ascended into heaven he said he would send the Comforter.

Did Paul just tell the Ephesus disciples to believe in Jesus and go on his way? No, he spoke the same message given on the Day of Pentecost and administered water baptism in Jesus' name and assisted in the disciples receiving the Holy Ghost:Correct,
But the gospel is the same, If paul did not preach it, then it is not part of the gospel.
No, He never told anyone that. And why you keep insisting people think that is just wrong my friendDid Paul just tell the Ephesus disciples to believe in Jesus and go on his way? No, he spoke the same message given on the Day of Pentecost and administered water baptism in Jesus' name and assisted in the disciples receiving the Holy Ghost:
19 And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples,
2 He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.
3 And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.
4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.
5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
7 And all the men were about twelve. Acts 19:1-7
Tongues is not a work of sanctification
it is a spiritual gift.
So I am not sure again what you are trying to say sis.
The doorbell just went, hence the delay replying. We will have to discuss being sealed with the Holy Spirit later. We do have the free-will to turn away from God if we so desire. I wouldn't look on it as an insurance policy if I were you.But everyone received the HS. (My point)

Sealed us: In the ancient world, a seal was used to identify and to protect. If something was sealed, everyone knew who it belonged to (the seal had an insignia), and the seal prevented anyone else from tampering with the item. The Holy Spirit is upon us to identify us and to protect us.
Thank you. Are you saying this is an additional blessing?In John 14 Jesus had not yet been crucified what Jesus said after the Resurrection when he appeared to the disciples in John 20:22
When i read your post,it reminded me of that old nestea commercial where the guy grabs a glass of ice tea and when he drinks it he falls backwards into a beautiful swimming pool.EG
The baptism of Holy Spirit is the sabbath rest. The refreshing. Why? Because we cease doing our works, and pick up His. You, decon, and mailmandan of all people here should be able to see this.
Same thing with our speaking words. Or writing. We cease natural tongues, and speak His perfect language that is above and beyond this world. Being now a Spirit ruled man or woman, rather than the natural man which is fallen.
The REFRESHING REST!
Eph 1:13 KJV In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,I have received gifts from the Holy Spirit...I know what those are
however, that is not my question
again, do you believe a person is saved without the Holy Spirit?
here is the verse I quoted again:
And in Him, having heard and believed the word of truth—the gospel of your salvation—you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,
Ephesians 1:13
that is not describing gifts or being baptized in the Holy Spirit.
it is incorrect to state we are only saved when we receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit. in fact, we cannot receive such without being saved first
so if you are saying someone is saved but yet they do not have the Holy Spirit this would not be correct according to Eph 1:13
do you understand what I am asking?
if not, I think we'll leave it then
Lol
1. You did not shw me anything I did not already know.
2. I always look up words. (My logos bible has multiple greek-hebrew lexicons, Dictionaries and helps of all kinds, Strongs is but one source.) Many words have different meanings, so they must be taken in context. Stongs is one which gives multiple defenitions, as so many others do. So context is everything,
In our case, But building up a person or the body is always the same thing, no matter HOW it is done. It is encouraging them, strengthening, Helping them grow in Christ. Paul speaks of many things and many ways in which God helps a child or a body grow. We must not limit God
While I may agree, in the early church prophesy and tongues were used mightily (since the word was not yet complete) I do not agree wiht that today. God works in so many ways, you seem to be bent on trying to limit him
And I have tasted God in ways you can only imagine, the fact you even hint that I have not. That just hurts your case and shows you need to open up your mind some more. Because God works in so many ways, I fear you have not even imagined the way God works.

What wonderful refreshing God gives his children in the baptism in the Holy Ghost.

Yes he sanctifies usI said Holy Spirit Himself is our sanctification.
If we can walk away god is a liar and he can not and did not perfect us forever and our hope relay solely on us not himThe doorbell just went, hence the delay replying.

So god left us an incomplete word?The Word is not complete EG. Acts continues on. Plus the end is not yet. It’s all being recorded.
Eph 1:13 KJV In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
This is the promise of eternal life. All believers are promised this, and if you think this promise is the Gift of the Holy Spirit then all well and good, but I believe God has greater gifts.
Rumor is thats what was said downstairs at pentecost.Its sad some people think they need some sign to be sure.
