 The Sealing of the Holy Spirit

Ephesians 1:13-14
13 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, 14 which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

Galatians 3:13-14
13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.


It seems to me, from these passages of scriptures, that the promise of the Holy Spirit is the baptism of the Holy Ghost. The scripture also teaches that Jesus is the one who baptizes in the Holy Ghost.

Therefore to be sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise...is to be baptized in the Holy Ghost. So, I believe this sealing is all the way unto the day of redemption. This also means that those who have been sealed are the chosen elect who are being kept from being deceived. So many are being deceived today because they are not sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise.

Even people as educated and gifted as John MacArthur are being deceived because they are crediting the works and gifts of the Holy Spirit to the works of the devil. Jesus said that when a person speaks against the Holy Spirit by attributing any of His workings to the devil, then he is in danger of blaspheming the Holy Ghost.

Blessings to all!
