I see no difference in the sealing of the Holy Ghost and the baptism for power, personally. It's all one and the same experience, and speaking in tongues indicates when that experience began.

Eph Chapter 1 is about the "spirit of wisdom"
14who is(AI) the guarantee[d] of our(AJ) inheritance until(AK) we acquire(AL) possession of it,[e](AM) to the praise of his glory.
And PO before we lazily go into the whole "Paul was talking to saints-only" merrygoround, did you only hear the Gospel when you were an unbeliever. Did you not year-after-year discover more fully what it is you have received? Who you were? This whole argument about it not being to unbelievers (duh) is obtuse and largely ignoring the concept that Paul omits any exhaustive handling with theology. Not the Paul we know.
Something as central as the Holy Spirit isn't going to be missed by a "you should know everything when you believe" syndrome. Nice try.
