Those willing to comprehend Jesus' accurate words can be assured they have received the gift of holy spirit.
Acts 1:8 "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth."
Accurately translated, receive (lambano) means to receive into outward evidence. Power (dunamis) is the internal potential power a person receives with the new birth. Jesus declared that his followers would be able to see the holy spirit's power in operation.
Jesus highlighted the significance of the gift of holy spirit, calling it "the promise of the Father," as he gave instructions to the Apostles.
Acts 1:3,4 "...that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence."
Jesus referred to a believer's salvation, expressing it as the spiritually pivotal event of being baptized with holy spirit. When a person receives the promise of the Father, he is baptized with holy spirit and is clothed with power from on high.
Luke 24:49 "And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high."
As we allow Jesus' words from the books of Luke and Acts to settle in our hearts, we begin to appreciate the immensity of the new birth and the power we've received with the gift of holy spirit. Our desire to be bold witnesses for God continues to grow, as does our desire to see the holy spirit's power in operation.

How has the Holy Spirit guided you in your character formation?
A:If I look at two people of good character, I can not tell which one is a Christian and has been guided by the Holy Spirit and which one is an atheist. They have achieved good character either with the Holy Spirit or without. If I look at two people of disreputable character, I can not tell which one is a Christian and could have been guided by the Holy Spirit and which one is an atheist. One has character flaws in spite of the best efforts of the Holy Spirit. The other simply has character flaws.Whatever people judge my character to be (and I trust them to be charitable in their assessments) I have never been guided by the Holy Spirit.
