Yes, Stephen was full of the Spirit, but Jesus was also. They were full of the same Spirit of God. Both were Spirit filled. Stephen wasn't filled with a different Holy Ghost than Jesus.
I ask again, what indwelled Jesus that doesn't indwell us? What's missing in us? We have the same Holy Ghost that Jesus had....what else indwells us from God other than the Holy Ghost?
