I am sure this question has been asked before.

Can Christians be introverts?

Does an introverted personality mean that you don't have the Spirit of God in you?

Can Christians be introverts?

Yes, for a time.

Does an introverted personality mean that you don't have the Spirit of God in you?

No.

And as a new creation in Christ Jesus, amazing changes , very amazing happen. (beyond the wildest imagination or dreams of man)

Introversion just means that you tend to prefer to rest and recharge on your own or with small groups of others, rather than in large groups of people. Large gatherings are "work" for an introvert.

Christians can be and are introverts. I'm an introvert. It's got nothing to do with being indwelt with the Spirit or not, and is just a matter of personality style.

Personality has nothing to do with character. Though it can enhance giftedness. fo example introverts tend to be the deep thinkers, the teachers, spending much time in personal study of the scriptures. Extroverts may gravitate towards evangelism, social activities. Diversity of personalities is like the diversity of giftedness. It's actually what God wants to see in the Christian community.

Yes, I'm an introverted person and a Christian. All our differences give us a unique perspective that, when we work together, can make for a very complete whole.
