The holy ghost is with you before you are saved, He will lead you to the lord if you let Him.

yes! The Father,Son and Holy spirit are one. You cannot have the Holy Spirit dwell within you if you have not asked the Lord to forgive you of all your sins, and to do this you must know and believe that Jesus died on the cross as a sacrifice and took away our sins when He arose from the dead and defeted death (that's what Easter represents). God cannot look upon sin, that's why you need to believe that Jesus died to take our sins upon Himself as a sacrifice And pray that you will be filled with the Holy Spirit to become born again as a child of God. Read John 3;16. The bible says that ALL have sinned fall short of the glory of GOD. That is why you must truely understand the plan of salvation. When you do and you pray for the Lord to forgive you in "Jesus name" and if you really mean it, the Holy Spirit will enter and dwell in your heart. Sin is of Satan... if you ask for salvation, sin and the Holy Spirit cannot dwell in a saved person at the same time. Get rid of the sin through belief and prayer and you shall be saved. Find a good Bible teaching church..one that teaches that Jesus is the only way to heaven. Pray for guidance.

One is "saved" through regeneration (born-again) - Spirit giving birth to spirit. Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God. The Word is preached, the Word is heard. The Father draws, the Spirit convicts, Jesus saves through His shed blood for the sins of the world. "Saved" is "Justified" - "Just as if you have never sinned"

Being "filled with the Holy Spirit" is to then allow the Spirit to Sanctify you wholely, yielding self to God's will for your life found written in the Holy Scriptures. Be ye filled with the Holy Spirit is a command to those who have been Justified by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.

God Bless!
