May Jesus fill us with his love and wisdom.On your last statement, yes we all have the Holy Ghost at salvation, and there are general gifts that God gives us, all have that.
And then there is the gift on tongues which only some have.
All potentially can have one or more of the gifts of the spirit in 1 Corinthians 12:9-10, but it is given to who he wills.
In fact God wants the church to manifest in these gifts, so that all in one manner or another can be used in these gifts so to edify the church.
So when we get saved, yes we get empowered to live a godly and holy life, but hat itself is resurrection life, it is no necessarily being baptized in the Holy Ghost.
This is what the dictionary showed,
Manifestations of empowerment:
""Spiritual gifts: The Holy Spirit bestows gifts such as prophecy, healing, and teaching for the common good.
Fruit of the Spirit: Empowerment is also seen in the development of the "fruit of the Spirit," like love, joy, peace, patience, and goodness.
Service: Believers are empowered to serve others and build up the church.
Endurance and patience: God provides "glorious might" to give believers great endurance and patience in tough times.""
Honestly I was a little bit surprised that this was in the dictionary. But it does prove that you were right and I am wrong.
But as far as what's going to happen with the mark of the beast like I said. All those things will take place. People that you have known who are strong believers will take the mark of the beast. And preachers who preach against it today, will preach for it in the future telling us it's okay to take the mark of the beast because we are Christians. Because we are saved, because we have our names written in heaven.
Don't listen to any of those lies, it doesn't matter if your name is written in heaven. You take the mark of the beast on yourself you cut yourself off from God.
