Paul could not say that we all were baptized by one Spirit and all given one Spirit to drink if not all of the Corinthian believers possessed the Holy Spirit. Romans 8:9 is even stronger, stating that if a person does not have the Spirit, he does not belong to Christ. Therefore, the possession of the Spirit is an identifying factor of the possession of salvation.
Nilinaw ng tatlong Kasulatang ito na ang Banal na Espiritu ay tinatanggap sa panahon ng kaligtasan.
