Being filled with the Holy Spirit vs tongues

ViaCrucis said:

Philippians 2:7 says that Christ became human, ἐν ὁμοιώματι ἀνθρώπων γενόμενος, "in the form of humanity [He] became."

When the Creed says of Christ, γεννηθέντα οὐ ποιηθέντα, "begotten, not created", it means Jesus Christ is not a creature, His generation from the Father is not an act of creation, but an act of begetting. The Son is begotten of the Father, the Son was not created by the Father.

It's the difference between, "I was made a police sergeant" and "I made a painting." Ginnomai, "become", poieo, "create".

The Logos, the only-begotten and eternal Son of the Father. As very God of God, begotten of the Father from all eternity. This is the One who was in the beginning with the Father, being in the Father's bosom, εἰς τὸν κόλπον τοῦ πατρὸς (John 1:18). There was never a time He was not, for He always was and is. This same One became flesh, ὁ λόγος σὰρξ ἐγένετο (John 1:14) there's that word again--became. The Word became flesh; that One who was in the beginning with God His Father and is Himself truly God became flesh and inhabited in our midst with us, ἐσκήνωσεν ἐν ἡμῖν. Thus God, the only-begotten Son and Word of the Father, became human, lived among us as one of us.
