When do you first receive the Holy Spirit?

The Holy Spirit comes into you when you first accept Jesus Christ as your only Lord and personal Savior.At the same exact moment you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord, Master, and Savior (Acts 10:44-48).A person receives the Holy Spirit when they become a believer in Jesus Christ, that is entrusting their life to the lordship and the saving sacrifice of Jesus; this is being born again. There is actually no such thing as a believer in Jesus Christ who does not have the Holy Spirit. If someone claims to be a believer, but does not have the Holy Spirit then they are not truly a believer. Either they have created another "Jesus" for themselves, who is different to the Jesus of the true Gospel, or they simply don't believe in Jesus in the biblical sense, which is entrusting their life to the lordship and the saving sacrifice of Jesus.The Holy Spirit is the free gift given by Jesus from God, his father, to all who put their trust in him.Although the Holy Spirit works on unbelievers, drawing them to Jesus, they do not actually receive him until they are truly repenting of (that is turning away from) their sinful ways and putting their faith in Jesus; trusting in his salvation and his lordship.When a person receives the Holy Spirit it will be evidence in their life as they will begin to naturally manifest the fruit of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control) and also begin to detest things that are detestable to God, things they had once take pleasure in.

Why did Paul the Apostle compare humans to temples of God?

When a person accepts Jesus Christ as their personal Savior (Born Again; Saved; Regenerated; come to the Lord, a Christian) the Holy Spirit comes to dwell in that person. The Holy Spirit is "God the Holy Spirit", the third person of the Trinity. I Corinthians 3:16-17, " Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are." I Corinthians 6:19-20, "Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's." The Christian's body is a temple because the Holy Spirit dwells with in them. We belong to God.


And when Jesus rose from the dead he breathed onto them saying receive?

John 20:21-23 states: "The disciples were filled with joy at seeing the Lord, and he said to them again,'Peace be with you. As the Father sent me so I am sending you.' After saying this, he breathed on them and said: 'Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive anyone's sins they are forgiven; if you retain anyone's sins they are retained.'"

Jesus said one must be born again avoid burning in hell. how do you become born again by the spirit if you cant make yourself born again?

by being baptizedAnother Answer:Jesus was explaining that to see Heaven, you must be of the spirit world.John 3:3-7New King James Version (NKJV) 3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."4 Nicodemus said to Him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?"5 Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not marvel that I said to you, 'You must be born again.'In the Judgement process, all will be given the chance to fully accept Christ and the Government of God and be changed into spiritual sons and daughters of the God Family in the New Earth (Revelation 21).Some in their lifetimes are called then to this reward (John 6:44;65) and are called the firstfruits. After full repentance (Acts 2:38) and baptism, the laying on of hands and prayer for God's Holy Spirit (aka Spirit of Christ) to 'beget' them into the Family. They are in the embryo stage and will grow and do God's work until their change into spirit at Christ's 2nd Coming - 1st those in the grave and then the living.1 Thessalonians 4:14-17New King James Version (NKJV) 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.[a]15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive andremain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the LordAnswer:Regarding being "born again"... Jesus said nothing about "burning in hell." He said:"...I tell you the Truth, no one can SEE the Kingdom of God unless he is born again." (John 3:3 NIV)And: "...I tell you the Truth, no one can ENTERthe Kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit." [verse 5]And: "...Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit." [verse 6]And: "The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit." [verse 8]Jesus compares man's potential "rebirth by the Spirit" to our physical human birth. It's a process that "takes time." And according to God's design -- you "fall in love" first."I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things?" [verse 12]The coming "rebirth" doesn't happen by our power. God does it.But, nowhere in this conversation about being "born again" does Jesus say that "we must be born again to avoid burning in hell." He just never said that.


What does it measn to be born again?

It is a reference to John chapter 3 when Christ is talking to Nicodemus. Specifically: 3Jesus answered and said unto him, "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. " Nicodemus saith unto him, "How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?" Jesus answered, "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. " All people are born of water - the water of birth. Being born of the spirit is when a person chooses to believe and is born of the spirit. Hence born again.
