Bro. Nick,

I've been noticing this as well. Other non-pentecostal christians seem to
believe that by just accepting Christ as their saviour, they automatically
have the Holy Ghost and are saved. It's almost like they believe that the
Holy Ghost is a state of mind and that you just trust that you have it
despite not having any evidence of it. I have no real plan on how you help
these people understand that they don't have the Holy Ghost and would
appreciate any pointers here!
