How do you get the holy spirit?

Answer 1

you get the holy spirit by asking for it continuously, pray everyday, keep the lords commands, don't cuss, don't watch anything bad, stay faithful.

ANSWER:

The Bible says that a person receives the Holy Spirit when they believe the gospel of salvation.

Ephesians 1:13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,

The Holy Spirit is given to true believers as a down payment, a promise of things to come and seals them as God's children.

Ephesians 1:13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,

Answer 2

When you hear the gospel of salvation from the word of God and trust in Christ, you become a born again child of God 1Peter 1:23 "Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever" And in that very moment you receive the Holy Spirit - Ephesians 1:13,14 "In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory." If you are not sure that you had that experience, just keep reading the word and God will reveal Himself to you, and the moment that you simply rest yourself on His promise, you are His, and His Spirit is yours. John 1:12,13 "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God."
