I cannot help but notice that the most Godly and Spirit filled believers that I know are those who have had to endure some of the most debilitating circumstances. The fruit of the Spirit is clearly evident in their lives.
Those who claim to be *Spirit filled* simply because they speak in tongues don’t know what they’re talking about. It’s not evidence of the filling of the Spirit. It’s a gift given for the edification of the body, not for personal indulgence. Tongues is not a sign for believers but for unbelievers. 1 Corinthians 14:22
Having a charism (gift) does not equate to character. See Balaam. The heart determines how tools are used, likewise gifts.
