GAYI?

Can you post the verse that teaches this? And you are wrong about the question I'm asking. Where in John 3:5 does it say filled with the Spirit?

So, if a person has never spoken in tongues they are not saved?

If one repents and believes, are they not already exercising faith?

It's a specious argument. Even if one consents that receive means take, or appropriate for oneself, James teaches that receiving from God requires faith...James 1:5-7. You have people attaining faith with what? A faith they don't yet possess? If faith is not gifted first, how then can it be...

Isn't 1 Corinthians 12:13 in the word of God?

This is your understanding. I respect that it is your belief, but it is not mine. When faith was birthed in me, I believed. I wrote exactly what I believe. For you, the source of faith is you. For me, faith came by the word of God. It's a little like...I live, yet not I; Christ lives in me. I...

What do you think about when the Spirit of God places an individual into the body of Christ?
