The best time to receive the Holy Ghost is as soon as you are saved.Why? You receive power after you receive the Holy Ghost .He will stay as long as you have a clean temple,God looks on the heart .Not like man ,that looks on the outward appearance .
When Jesus was leaving to go to the Father ...He didn't tell them to go out and start preaching ,teaching ect. He instructed them to tarry in the upper room till they received the Holy Ghost. He wanted them to have power before they went out.
When Jesus was baptized the Holy Spirit came in the form of a dove and if Jesus Christ our Lord needed that before he started his ministry ...I AM SURE WE NEED HIM,THE HOLY GHOST. EVEN TO WITNESS.
I hope this has helped someone to see the need to have the Holy Ghost...knowing you have it (and others knowing)by the evidence the word says speaking in tongues is the evidence you have Him in your life.
I WANTED EVERYTHING CHRIST SAID IS MINE.HE SAID IT IS FOR AS MANY AS THE LORD OUR GOD SHALL CALL,EVERYONE THAT HE CALLS (WE CANNOT BE SAVED UNLESS HE DRAWS US)SO THAT IS ALL SAVED PEOPLE IT IS FOR.
SAVED =IMMERSED- AND RECEIVED THE HOLY GHOST AT 9 YEARS OLD .IT IS THE SAME AS THEN ...OVER 60 YEARS LATER. I REJOICE !
