Chris.
We should be filled with the Holy Spirit. This is not just a charismatic “hallmark” of Pentecostal and Charismatic Churches this is basic necessity for all True Believers – to be filled with the Holy Spirit. We need also to remember that the Holy Spirit is not just “gifts” but He is God filling our lives which have been created to be His temples. Surely our lives increasingly and positively change when we are filled with the Holy Spirit.
