[QUOTE="bling, post: 72029394, member: 216174"] The process is simple unless you spend a lot of time thinking about it: All mature adults sin (no need for a process with that part), sin (the hurting of others) is initially (at least in the beginning) a burden on the conscience (this is automatic). There are all kinds of ways to try and relieve the burden of sin, but only one way works consistently and over time (this can take some time, but rationally the person can draw this conclusion). Giving up on self and turning toward the benevolent Creator (you hope is there) and trusting in such a Creator will allow the person to be showered with unbelievable gifts. Just because you have no realization of the Holy Spirit does not mean you are “lost”, but you could be lost. Christians can be unaware of the Spirit through false teaching, lack of teaching, lingering doubts and being immature. Paul in Acts 19:1-7 ran across 12 men who were believers, but had only received John’s baptism and knew nothing about the Holy Spirit, so they underwent Christian emersion believer water baptism and received the indwelling portion of the Holy Spirit.
