...do we need to ask more questions?

Yes of course we need to keep asking questions, even with the Holy Spirit in our hearts we know only in part. It is about growing into the kingdom, which goes by attaining the knowledge of God and then exercising the truths we learn.

1 Corinthians 13: 12
"For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known."

The Holy Spirit is there to both deliver and answer questions as an intermediary.

"In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans." Romans 8:26

Truth to be baptized in fire is true but it's very hard to obtain it. Don't think getting baptized by fire is more important than baptismal by water. Jesus Christ gave it to us and it is A path he wanted. It is true prophets of old got baptized by fire like Elijah. But the rules for it we do not know exactly G-d gaves us water so all can be saved because he loves us. Before it even existed been baptized man were saved bu test in fire and it's too hard. A reason why Jesus came so man can be saved by just submerging under water.

I do not say baptism by fire is not true and say one is above the other. Both are for A purpose in mankind G-d judges it becuase before water baptism existed men were saved ? Abraham was saved by faith, Rahab was saved by faith, and others were saved like that. They didn't baptized so are they damned ? in no way Jesus allows been baptized by fire, but go get simple and effective submerging by fire. And you accomplish pls tell us your story becuase that's A good accomplsihment. ;D

We are talking about three distinctions, our born again spirit, and our flesh bodies and our souls(mind, will and emotions).
The fruit of the spirit are about our spirit. Therefore the ultimate goal is to walk in love, yet this is almost
impossible in our world. Love is the greatest and we must start with self-control. Self-control of the body. If we are self-controlled then we will be gentile and towards love we go. The connection from a perfect born again spirit, to a soul and body which is in enmity against God. But the Holy Spirit leads us. How does this work? We ask questions and the Holy Spirit teaches us the answers.

...do we need to ask more questions?

D. L. Moody once pointed out that we are leaky vessels and as such we need to be refilled on a daily basis. The Christian walk is not standing in one place all the time. To grow in Christ we must move around. So, ask God for his mercy a few times a day and to be refilled by the Holy Spirit very often.

Romans 8
