I had read that in their articles of faith, but is that a different experience from being filled with the Spirit?
I'm in a discussion with someone by email that is questioning this very thing and he claims the infilling is different from baptism and that the disciples received the Spirit when Christ breathed on them after his resurrection.
I disagree with both statements and have shown why by scripture. He finds it difficult to believe someone must speak in tongues as the definite sign of receiving the Holy Ghost for a few reasons: the scriptures that teach we are saved by grace through faith in Rom and Gal and there are people who seek and seek and never seemed to speak in tongues, and this teaching is not found in the epistles.
What do you think?
