there is a difference… sort of … in being filled with the Holy spirit and… hmm… Can’t find the right words…
What i went through when young was very dramatic, very overwheming, etc…the Holy Spirit just took over…
But when one sins, one must be re-filled wtih the Holy Spirit… Sin lets the devil in… and being re-sanctified means prayer to Mary & the saints… spending time with Jesus in adoration… the Rosary, etc…
The thing OSAS people don’t realize is that… to sin AFTER one has been filled with the Holy Spirit is actually worse than sinning before that has happened… It is a greater offense to God to know Him very well and then to sin… than to sin when one hardly “knows” Him… Therefore, the need to… keep working out salvation w/ fear & trembling… NO oSAS…
