Cornelius has a Godly life before being Spirit filled. Like many others in our day, like Dr. James Dobson.
When someone has received the Gift of the Holy Ghost they will speak in tongues initially.

The Spirit will then lead them according to their willingness to walk in truth and holiness. God will work through them and they will bear fruit.

It is very evident that other Christians not having spoken in tongues, bare better spiritual fruit than many who have. This poses a bit of a problem, doesn’t it?.

These evidences of the Holy Ghost

are not stand alone, but when combined they offer that someone has received the Holy Ghost. |
Again, there are non tongue talkers that put some of us tongue talkers to shame when it comes to bearing fruit.
I have pondered in my mind, what was different about Cornelius AFTER he received the Holyghost? We must speculate I suppose....
What are your thoughts on that?
How are those that have spoken in tongues different from other sects that believe in and practice holiness, fruits of the spirit, etc?
And we’re any of Cornelius’ (pre Holyghost) fruit, Spiritual fruit, if he wasn’t born of the Spirit....how could they have been? What then was he “producing?”
