You need commentary or can you get what I'm talking about from these?
Luke 3:16
John answered them all, saying, “I baptize you with water, but he who is mightier than I is coming, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
Acts 2:38
And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every on ...[text shortened]... tep with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

If you have the Spirit of God within you'd know it, if you don't, I suggest you start praying
while you have time.

always fighting, are they always condemning, are they always finding faults, are they
always making others feel bad, are they always looking for ways to get at other people?
Are they seeking to make peace, are they trying to heal, are they always lifting up, are
they looking out for the good in others?
He shares Himself with us, the Spirit gives life, while the letter kills. It is God not our
efforts that matter, and when God matters we turn from our wicked ways, while we reject
Him, we live out our lives doing the very things we were and are condemn for.
He is the very best part of being a Christian, the very best part of life, He never leaves us
or forsakes us. He isn't something to be avoided, but looked for with all of our hearts.

Did Jesus always find faults with Pharisees?
didn't follow around telling them how bad they were. Let the blind lead the blind, what He
did was seeking those that could be found. Time is short, which is the better job turning
those from dying in their sins, or telling sinners, they sin?

Seems to me that agreeing with God as to what is sinful behavior is key.
If someone sees nothing wrong with abortion can such a person have the holy spirit?
