Those who have been reborn, must be baptized and filled with the Holy spirit. When Christians are filled with the Holy Spirit, they become filled with power and can witness effectively. Furthermore, as the Spirit of God is Holy, a Christian filled with the Holy Spirit can shed off the authority of sin and the curse, to live in holiness.

The Gospel of the filling of the Holy Spirit is to live in holiness and actively preach the Gospel as the Holy Spirit fills a person making him overflow with gratitude and the desire to act, a far cry from dry and passive faith.

1. The Holy Spirit’s Godliness and Character
The Holy Spirit is one of the Trinity which comprises the Father God, the Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit (Acts 5:3,4; Matthew 28:19,20). As such, the Holy Spirit shares all qualities with God. The Bible testifies that the Holy Spirit shares all natures, namely, that of timelessness (Hebrews 9:14), omnipresence (Luke 1:35), omniscience (I Corinthians 2:10), and omnipotence.(Psalms 139:7,8)

In addition, the realization that the Holy Spirit has personality is an essential element in our lives of faith. This is due to the fact that only when we personally acknowledge, welcome and accept the Holy Spirit, we can move deeper and further in our lives of faith which then lead us to become more powerful Christians, to bear a greater amount of fruit than ever before.

2. The Work of the Holy Spirit
Jesus Christ said that when the Holy Spirit comes, He would convict the world of guilt in regard to sin, righteousness and judgment (John 16:8-11). The Holy Spirit calls sinners, makes them repent and they are born again, to become children of God (John 3:5). The Holy Spirit resides in believers (John 14:16), teaching them (John 14:26), guiding them (Romans 8:14), and intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express (Romans 8:26). Moreover, the Holy Spirit seals those who are His (Ephesians 1:13,14; II Timothy 2:19), causes the saints to act (Acts 13:4; 16:6,7; I Corinthians 12:11), becomes our Guarantor (II Corinthians 1:22; Ephesians 1:14), gives us power and anoints us with oil (Luke 24:29; Acts 2:1-4; II Corinthians 1:21; I John 2:20,27), resurrects the body (Romans 8:11; II Corinthians 4:14), and witnesses to us that Christ is the Son of God (Romans 8:16; Galatians 4:6).

3. Regeneration and the Baptism of the Holy Spirit
Regeneration and the baptism of The Holy Spirit are two distinct and separate experiences. Although the two experiences can occur simultaneously or occur at two separate time periods, they are nonetheless two separate experiences. The Bible mentions that there are many Christians who have been born again, but have failed to be baptized with the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:4,5; Acts 8:14-17).

4. The Baptism of the Holy Spirit and the Fullness of the Holy Spirit
The baptism of the Holy Spirit is the starting point for those who want to continue Christ’s ministry and live victorious lives. To do so, he must first be overcome by the Holy Spirit. The two most visible, outward signs of the Holy Spirit baptism are the speaking in tongue and truly effective witnessing. When the gift of the Holy Spirit (the outward signs) and the fruit of the Spirit (inner signs) continue to be manifest, it is called the filling of the Holy Spirit.
