We have always thought that the Holy Spirit was something we had to earn are by doing good, and if you were blessed you would receive the gift of speaking in tongues. I think that we have been thinking wrong, when God breathed the breath of life into us which is a part of Him, He gave the holy spirit to all mankind we need to believe in the power of God, and the power that is in His word. Jesus said, God gave man the power to do as I have done if they have the faith and believe it.
