Being filled with the Holy Spirit can be interpreted in many ways. We see it as our spiritual life in Christ, motivated and sustained by His love; not some alien presence inside of us.

I see. So for you being filled with the Holy Spirit really refers to YOU, and what YOU make of your spiritual life, helped by God of course. I'm virtually speechless. :)

That's right, FK, speechless is a good word. Because love doesn't speak; it feels. As to the rest of your comment, the answer is yes, and not only ME but YOU and ALL others in this world, because we are all sinners and we all fail God and we all love and worship God imperfectly and to the best of our abilities.

So, yes, we all make "filled with Spirit" as it refers to US, individually.
