How do we know that believers are filled with the Holy Spirit?
Answered in 1 source
Believers are filled with the Holy Spirit as a common experience at their rebirth, which is evident in their bold proclamation of the gospel (Acts 4:31).
The filling of the Holy Spirit among believers is affirmed in Acts 4:31 where it states that they were all filled with the Holy Ghost after prayer. This filling is not a one-time event; rather, it represents the ongoing empowerment of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers, enabling them to speak boldly the truths of the gospel. Each believer, through this indwelling Spirit, shares a common experience – they are united in the faith and enabled to live out the implications of their salvation. The Spirit's role is crucial as He points every believer toward Christ, ensuring that their faith and proclamation align with the truths of God's Word.
