Re: Essential Goal of Christianity???
so the question is can people throughout history demonstrate the fruit of the spirit without being spirit baptized in the modern pentecostal sense?
My opinion...no. It's also my opinion that the same Spirit baptism as occured on the day of pentecost has been available and experienced without a 1900 year gap. The gifts and callings of God are without repentance.
That said, I have seen many people demonstrate more love and compassion than some of my brothers and sisters in the faith, who have been baptized with the Holy Ghost.
