Do you believe that every believer is filled with the Spirit when they are saved?

Boy sounds like you're holding onto a lot of bitterness against the AOG Jim! I do agree with the AOG on this subject-(the baptism in the Holy Spirit) and I know my beliefs have been instilled in me by the Spirit of Truth who guides me into all truth=and I am not a member of the AOG.
I believe the Bible is plain that the baptism in the Holy Spirit is AFTER salvation-and includes as the initial evidence speaking in other tongues as the Spirit enables. Don't forget Pauls words--"Have you received the Holy Spirit SINCE you believed."
The disciples were certianly saved-if you'll read John 20 you will see they already had the Spirit-but there was more-the Holy Spirit baptism which they received in Acts 2:4

Oh, gosh no, onelamb. I love the AOG and all that they gave to me in my growth in Christ. It is only some finer points of doctrine that I disagree with. I have no hard feelings at all. Where did you get that idea? My brother is a devoted AOG missionary and most of my family is AOG. Many of my dearest friends are AOG ministers and I still cherish the love the District Superintendent showed me with tears in his eyes when I had to hand him my resignation as an AOG minister. There is no hard feelings at all and we still fellowship with AOG believers on a regular basis. Just because I can no longer agree on some points with them does not mean I do not love them. Deeply.

I consider the AOG to have the most biblically sound doctrine of any denomination. Nevertheless, on this point of divorce and remarriage, they missed it. I'm glad you don't have any issues because of it.
