Many Pentecostal believers equate the baptism of the Holy Spirit with speaking in tongues. While tongues are biblical, they were never meant to define who is Spirit-filled. In Part 2, we’ll explore the risks of this imbalance and rediscover the Spirit’s true purpose—transformation, unity, and mission.

The Spirit’s indwelling at salvation and His ongoing filling in daily life are not the same. In Part 1 of this two-part series, we’ll rediscover how the Holy Spirit works within every believer and why this truth frees us from chasing experiences and moves us toward deeper, Spirit-led living.

Without the Holy Spirit, Christianity becomes a memory of Jesus—something historical and distant. But with the Spirit, it becomes a living, breathing relationship. We aren’t just following a set of teachings; we’re walking with the very presence of God within us.

When people say, “God told me,” how should we respond? In this post, we explore the biblical call to test prophecy, protect the church, and honor the Spirit with discernment.
