"In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:" 12. "That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ" and finally verse 13. "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 solid proof that when you accept Jesus (salvation) that the spirit of God seals you and is in you.

I'm on your side but I disagree about that verse being the final and best proof for the spirit of God sealing you at belief. I think gramatically it could just as easily refer to someone receiving the baptism of the Holy Ghost after belief.
